you couldn't be a Pastor anywhere in the world unless you were fluent in Hebrew,
today you will find it extremely difficult to even find one them of them that
are. Even in the so-called "Dark Ages" everyone had a local
Priest who could speak, read and write in at least 2 languages, who taught out
of a Latin Bible. How far have we fallen in word definitions!
Recommended Materials for In-Depth Research of Scripture
note*********You can get all these books at ANY bible
bookstore and most major bookstores.**********
The first keys are finding what the bible's definition of a
word is in scripture, not in 21st Century word definitions or MAJORITY Religious
Doctrines in the broad path which leadeth to destruction. These tools help you
see how the original word is used through the entire text of scripture, thus
render the BIBLE'S Definition of a
word since we live by Every Word and not by bread alone.
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, Complete and
Unabridged (Every pastor uses or recommends this for their congregation) It's
the main tool every Christian should have in their library along with a good
Lexicon
to get full definitions. Beware, using just Strong's alone without a Lexicon
will not give you full definitions of many words since it's not meant to do the
function of a Lexicon.
You will need some of the following books to render in-depth research
beyond the scope of Strong's Concordance: (Most of which are included in
several computer programs such as PC Study Bible and online at
HERE
for FREE ACCESS)
1. The New Englishman's Greek Concordance and Lexicon of
the New Testament, by Wigram-Green *These two
books by Wigram-Green are what Strong's concordance is based upon. Every word
in the bible is listed by (the original Greek and Hebrew)Strongs# rather than by
English translation. You cannot miss the bible's definition of a word with this
tool. You can see how the original word is used every time throughout the
bible. This research tool makes any user blow away most any pastor these days.*
2. The New Englishman's Hebrew Concordance of the Old
Testament, by Wigram-Green
3. Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament
by Thayers
4. Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament
by Gesenius
5. Interlinear Greek and English
by Berry
6. Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible
7. Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old and New
Testament Words Keyed to Strong's Reference Numbers
For quick ordering of these books go to
www.amazon.com
You can also order the KJV "Hebrew Greek Key Study bible" which has
built-in lexicons and Strong's numbering within the actual text of King James,
or if you prefer you can also get it in New American Standard. (we reccomend
King James Version)
We know you can always use the bible as it's own lexicon and use the
word to interpret the word, however, but these are shortcuts for all who are
wise to make quick use of. Thank You for
using our online searchable Strong's concordance and dictionary.
