Why Learn Biblical Greek?

Why are there over 100 English translations of the New Testament? Why are there so many English translations of the same Biblical Greek phrase? Which English translation is correct? The original preserved Majority Byzantine Greek Biblical manuscripts are correct. The Greek New Testament is the New Testament! All English Bibles are translations.

Some areas where the English Bible is not correctly translating the Greek Bible (NT manuscripts)

Verse

Word(s) from Translation

Right Word for Greek

Actual Greek Word

Matthew 28:1

“of the week”

Sabbath

σαββάτων

Mark 16:2

“of the week”

Sabbath

σαββάτων

Acts 20:7

“of the week”

Sabbath

σαββάτων

Acts 12:4

“Easter”

Passover

πασχα

By learning Biblical Greek, you can have a better understanding of what Jesus Christ is trying to say to you. He wants you to know the truth about the “Sabbath”. He wants you to know the truth about His love, etc. Greek is easy!

You are invited to attend the Biblical Greek course at Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College. Classes starts January 22. You may also take courses in Biblical Theology, Old Testament Survey, Spiritual Gifts, etc. Everyone can be a student!

Biblical Theology vs. Systematic Theology

At Apostolic Theological Seminary and Bible College, we teach only Biblical Theology!

Why? What is the difference between Biblical theology and systematic theology?

Biblical Theology is based only on what the Bible teaches!

Systematic theology is based on the systematic theology of the denomination’s theology. Systematic theology searches for verses to support the denomination’s theology.

‘Biblical theology is not systematic theology or exegesis; nor is it merely a different arranging of the same material.’ Dr. Charles Ryrie, Biblical Theology of the New Testament, Pg. 9
