funny isn't it how in American Education in New England
and the colonies Latin,Hebrew, and Greek were taught
and expected for entrance into the colleges or universities.These languages we neglect were fundamental in
early American education. Lest the child be decieved by the
"old Deluder"Now look at New England.They would lead us all from the foundation--having too long neglected whence
we came and why.

That's why I won't pay much attention to any preacher who hasn't studied Latin, Hebrew and Greek (and there are more of these guys than you think). I've heard entire sermons that were based on a flawed premise of some artifact of the choice of English words used in a passage, which didn't actually exist in the original language.

Of course, these guys were always good enough for my granddaddy, who used to say "If the King James was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me." I kid you not.
