  1. It is my understanding that KJV translators were exceptionally fluent in the Hebrew/Greek/Aramaic languages, in additional to many other languages.   Translating in context and not just by each individual words I would assume takes a great deal of understanding in determining a good translation in the first place.  It is my understanding that modern day translators are not fluent in the languages and cannot even compare to the KJV translators of that day.   I don't believe we should try to translate ourselves, especially if we are not fluent in these languages.

      Well that's your opinion. I personally have found Greek and Hebrew to be helpful in some places where the English is unclear.

      Also, certain languages include features that Greek and Hebrew had, for example in Greek and Hebrew verbs have gender, like Spanish.  If you were translating into a language that had gender in it's verbs, you would HAVE to look to the Hebrew and Greek in order to have an accurate translation. 

      I am working on a Master's Degree in Biblical Languages to utilize Hebrew and Greek for my own personal understanding of the word of God and also for possibly doing translation work for an unreached people group that I am working with. 

      I don't claim that I'll ever be on par with the KJV translators, but that doesn't mean I cannot utilize Hebrew and Greek. 

      I also have training in linguistics. 

      I honestly am not sure why exactly you decided to post this on my page? 

  2. Hello! I'm writing my final paper in Hermeneutics course and looking for a good Baptist commentary on Ezekiel Chapter 18. Love Paul Chappell (Lancaster Baptist Church) but could not locate it specifically. Appreciate any help.

      Those are not Baptist commentaries, 

      for good commentaries on Ezk 18:

      I would just state that its important to realize Ezekiel 18 should be interpreted in the context of God speaking to Jews under the Mosaic covenant, which conditioned blessing upon obedience, many make the folly of teaching about salvation requirements for people today from this chapter. We are saved today because Christ was obedient in our place, not because we obey the law and turn from our sins. 

      See Deuteronomy 28 to see the relevant parts of God’s covenant with Israel.

  3. Jordan, please forgive me for contacting you privately but trust me this is legitimate... Many years ago, maybe 30.. a man and his wife came to the church I was a member of and were headed to mission fields. God did not call him into the ministry. He volunteered, the Lord used him and his wife in many foreign countries before his decease... You have been on my mind as I see your burden for the Lost and the Lord.. 

    Just a thought

      I am a little confused about this. Could you please elaborate more and explain more what exactly you are trying to say.
