Sometimes I just like to cut to the chase - so to speak. It's like a shock and awe method. Some people need to be jarred into reality. Most of them will read the articles because they're curious. My message will hopefully prick that curiousity.

I learned the 3 names in Greek. Let's see if I can remember them; pneuma is the spirit, psuche (where we get our psyche) is the soul, and soma is the flesh (or body). I think that's right!

I always thought it was interesting that GOD wrote the Old Testament in Hebrew (the language of the Jews), and the New Testament in Greek (the language of the believers). I love the Greek because it is such a flowery and expressive language.

In Greek, the word for salvation means: safety, soundness, preservation, healing, deliverance and provision. Looks like GOD provided a boatload of benefits for those who have received Jesus as Savior. What a good GOD.

Thank you so much for the Greek language insight! And I absolutely agree that God is good and has abundantly blessed us! Praise God!!!

IMHO, the Hebrew language is engaging all on its own. I probably am drawn to it because it has an almost numeric quality. And I agree with you on the beauty of the Greek language. Sigh... I'm not fluent at either one, just struggle one word at a time to uncover meaning.
