![]() Here are a few examples of each.The best Bible software programs can be a great way for Christians to study and grow their faith in Jesus Christ. Many of our English words come from Latin or Greek Roots ( Primitive words). Yes, in the strictest sense, John was God’s “angel.” Interesting, is it not? The word “ messenger” is from that word “ /aggelos,” and in this instance, it refers to John the Baptizer. For example, in Mark 1:2 we read, “Behold, I send My messenger before your face,” a quotation from Malachi 3:1. It can refer to such beings, but it also can refer to earthly, human messengers. So, the basic meaning of “angel” is not a heavenly being. ![]() The word means “a messenger, envoy, one who is sent, an angel, a messenger from God”. T o transcribe (a word, etc, in one alphabet) into corresponding letters of another alphabet: the Greek word λογοσ can be transliterated as ``logos'' transliteration, noun.Īn Example: “Angel” – Did you know that this word is not a translation? It comes from the Greek word “ /aggelos” (when two “g” sounds are back to back, it is an “n” sound in Greek). TRANSLITERATE means to substitute letters or words of one language for those of another. ETYMOLOGY is the study of the origin of words. We would appreciate your feedback.įirst, let us define and understand the terms we will be using in this study. We pray you will find this study material useful, informative and helpful in "rightly dividing" the Word of God. Since one of the main goals of this study is to help develop our study skills using various resource materials, we encourage you to take the time to look up and analyze the words rather than assume you know them. Most of these lessons are copies of our original Bible Word Analyzer published by Ben Williams from American Christian Ministries. There is an answer key with each pair of lessons for parents or students. There are word activities in nearly every lesson to help you understand and use the words more efficiently. These lessons are divided into three sections: Prefixes, Suffixes and Primitive (Root) words. We gleaned the information and adapted it to study words found in the Bible as a means to learn to use the Concordance and Bible. The original 1800's book these lessons were developed from was called "The Word Analyzer". Therefore, we are offering it here free of charge. However, it was found to be helpful to all age groups including adults. With God's help, I designed this series of 30 lessons to help home-schoolers 25 + years ago. We cannot do an exhaustive study here but we can study a few prefixes, suffixes and primitive (root) words to help expand our understanding of English and thereby expand our understanding of our modern English Bibles. Many of our English words are made up from "foreign" words such as Latin, French, Italian, Greek, Hebrew, etc. ![]() Since it is man's interpretations of God's original words and deeds that we are reading, we must be diligent in our studies. ![]() You may be surprised at the many changes in the meanings of our words since the King James' Bible was written in 1611. God's Word is never changing but man's word is forever changing. W ith this Scripture in mind, this study guide is dedicated to "dividing, the word of truth." Since we read His Word in man's English form, it is important for us to develop a basic understanding of English words, especially in terms of their relationship to the Hebrew and Greek languages: the main dialects from which our modern Bible's are translated. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." II Timothy 2:15
