We are walking in today:  Ancient Hebrew Thoughts, Moving Ahead

We have to be aware that reading the Bible from a American 21st century mindset will not fully reveal all that the Bible has to us.  We are looking at abstract verses concrete.  When the concrete is translated into the abstract causes the meaning to be lost, mislead or totally inaccurate.  These differing cultures, and the thought processes used are different processes of communication.  In the Hebrew culture it is verb based and concrete, the Greek is noun based and abstract.  Also there is more words when translating from Hebrew to the Greek mindset.  We have a functional description, Hebrew versus the description of object or person in the Greek.  The ancient Hebrew alef bet (alphabet) which used pictures to write before the block or script letters were used--gives us more concrete meaning for interpreting the scriptures.  Our culture and lifestyle will influence the words from the Bible, without direction we will use our 21st century American mindset to find understanding.  Which leads to misleading, overlooked meaning and intent of the scriptures.  The language of the people is closely related to the culture of those people.  In archaeological studies, uncovers the artifacts of ancient cultures revealing clues about language and daily life.  To hear this word again to study click here.
