+Ken Schenck You are an awesome teacher. Do you have or know where I can find an outline of all the areas to cover in learning Greek? I.e. Parsing, verbs, nouns, and all the areas to become proficient. I am desperately serious to learn Greek for KNOWING the Bible. I've read the Bible likely 300 times. I am so frustrated that I did not go beyond Strong's sooner. As you know, understanding the Greek meaning has EVERYTHING to do with the original and permanent meaning of the Word. Yes, I want to learn Hebrew too, though will start with mastering Greek to great degree first. Also, what tools do you recommend? Flashcards? (for what areas especially and first in order), songs, charts to reference. Top Books. Do you have a list or good site recc that discusses these things? I don't see the order of how to go about this. Thank you for any suggestions. I realize it may not be convenient to answer in full. I'm open to anyone guiding me for how to approach this, and outline of areas to cover. Yahweh bless you.
@@kenschenck I wrote a fictional early Christian letter in Koine Greek just for fun: θεομακαριος υιος του αγαθοκαρπου δουλος χριστου ιησου κυριου και θεου ημων του εσταυρωμενου υπο της εξουσιας του ποντιου πιλατου υπερ ημων ινα σωθωμεν δι αυτου κλητος πρεσβυτερος της εκκλησιας εν κορινθω δια θεληματος θεου και αφωρισμενος απο του κοσμου κηρυσσειν το ευαγγελιον αυτου τω παντι σαρκι το εστιν δυναμις αυτου εις σωτηριαν παντι τω πιστευοντι εις ονομα χριστου ιησου υιου αυτου τη εκκλησια εν εφεσω χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων του προωρισεν ημας προ καταβολης του κοσμου δια θεληματος αυτου και χριστου ιησου του εσωσεν ημας δι αιματος αυτου και αγιου πνευματου του εζοωποιησεν ημας ως ημεν νεκροι εν αμαρτιαις ημων αληθειαν λεγω εν χριστω ου ψευδομαι οτι εχω θυμον πυρουμενον και λυπην μεγαλην και αδιαλειπτος οδυνην εν τη καρδια μου πολλα γαρ προβατα πλανομενα και εσθιομενα και σχιζομενα υφ αρπαγων λυκων
They're about the same man. I'm studying Latin and the similarities between Latin and Koine Greek are very apparent. Plus, most people only learn Koine Greek for studying the original New Testament, so difficulty doesn't matter to them.
Ητα replaced αλφα in certain dialects, hence the interchangeability of those two letters in the first declension. Terribe pronunciation especially η. How do you tell the difference between η Ϗ ῃ? Remember jesus crying that he wasn't a λῃστής after they found him with a naked kid at 4 in the morning in Gesthemane? 😂
1 - Unacceptable pronunciation! 2 - Vocative should always be put no matter if it is the same with the nominative! 3 - This is ancient greek. Not just greek! You should know better...
Please stop this foolishness, to pronounce Greek with hypothetical reconstructive pronouciation. We are not sure for how Greeks pronounce the Greek language before two Thousand years ago. However Greek still to be the same language with ancient Greek even if it has some changes. That thing with reconstructive pronouciation is so foolish like to pronounce words: Maid as M(A)-ID or Made as MA-DE
