Many people in examining Hebrew or Greek matters, never get beyond Strong’s Concordance.
Hebrew
John McKee discusses some of the difficult factors that have contributed to Hebrew having an over-exalted status in many sectors of the broad Messianic community. How will this need to change, given some of the complexities of the future?
I saw a teaching that discussed the “Hebrew versus Greek mindset.” What does this mean?
Is the affluent usage of alef-tav in the Hebrew Tanach some significant Messianic sign?
In what way is Yeshua the Messiah the Alef and the Tav? Some interesting teachings circulate around the Messianic movement about the first and last Hebrew letters, and their association with Yeshua.
Is there any academic validity with Hebrew letter pictures, i.e., interpreting various Hebrew words through the representations of each letter in its spelling?
Can one theologically understand the meanings of Hebrew words using apparent pictograms of Hebrew letters?
The claim that the New Testament was originally written in Hebrew is something that must be substantiated by those who believe it with historical references, textual support, and most of all extant manuscripts in Hebrew. These references must be credible, the textual claims must be supported within a relatively conservative framework of exposition, and the manuscripts must be verified as authentic by organizations such as United Bible Societies or the American Bible Society. Thus far, no one in the Messianic community has been able to prove a written Hebrew origin for the entirety of the New Testament on the basis of these factors.
