“I wonder if you guys do that to impress each other on how much you study Latin (instead of using that time to study the Scriptures)...”
Well considering as the Scriptures were mostly only in Latin for over a thousand years, understanding Latin would be at least beneficial to understanding scripture...
But do go on. Latin, after all is a dead language, and the only true language to understand scripture is English. Which is why Iscool has a first volume tyndale on his desk which he refers to regularly...
Well, not really...The vast majority of available manuscripts are in Greek and Hebrew...And some of these are dated around 800-900 AD...
If I was going to fiddle around with a foreign language, it would be Greek or Hebrew...
