Femster Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I have in the last week, started studying Theology at Avondale in Australia- by distance. I am very scared about doing the essays, and getting the referencing right, but I know God will help me through it. After all, i had so many signs and confirmations within a 10 minute period the morning after i asked, what else can it be?? My major is Biblical Studies.

Aliensanctuary Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 How are you doing in your university "life". Do you want to be a pastor when you're finished?

Femster Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 no i dont want to be a Pastor- i dont belive it is my field- however i am very interested in the history of the bible, and also the meanings behind it all- i feel the study guides dont go into it enough for me. Misearably failed my first Hebrew exam but i know i will get better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Gail Posted September 3, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 3, 2015 It's only the beginning... Thanks for the update, though. I was wondering how it's been going Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Aliensanctuary Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Misearably failed my first Hebrew exam but i know i will get better! It's a big challenge learning another language. Even if you flunked one test, you still know more now than before you began.

Femster, have you tried using flashcards for learning the Hebrew letters and/or words? It's an easy way to learn, and you can carry the cards in your pocket and review them most any time...

Femster Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 i am trying to hunt down some suitable cards- nothing in my area- so i went on ebay and ordered some blank business cards from China. Coz i am 4 hours from Sydney, there are not a lot of business/record cards up here. i will be going to Sydney next week and can look at them then. A few big Stationery stores near where i want to go. rudywoofs (Pam) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B/W Photodude Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Femster, have you tried using flashcards for learning the Hebrew letters and/or words? It's an easy way to learn, and you can carry the cards in your pocket and review them most any time... If you have a smart phone, there are a number of flash card apps for the iPhone. I am sure android phones do too. Some of them let you create your own, but also have big libraries of flash card collections for download. That way you can keep "stacks" of cards with you.

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted September 10, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Femster: There are a large assortment of flash cards that you can obtain and/or apps that you can put on your smart phone, as photodude said. The key to finding them is to search for "Biblical Hebrew." The reason being that the Biblical Greek and Biblical Hebrew differs from the Greek and Hebrew of today. Here are search terms that you might plug into your search engine: Biblical Hebrew online Biblical Hebrew app Biblical Hebrew alphabet. You will probably come across a notice of a free app from Logos Software. Logos is a major supplier of Biblical/religious study aids. Some highly specialized and some very comprehensive. But, they are no free. Their products range in price from several hundred dollars to more than two thousand dollars. By way of interest, they have a series of packages that are designed for Seventh-day Adventists. If you have the funds to purchase their products, they can supply you with a lot of materials. you can access them at: https://blog.logos.com/2014/03/new-free-greek-and-hebrew-flashcard-app/ Success to you in your studies. You should be able to find what you need for flash cards either free or at low cost. By way of interest: Logos set up a sales booth at the San Diego One Project Gathering, with a substantial discount for their SDA packages. If you live near a One Project Gathering, you might want to drop by (You do not have to register and pay for dropping by when you do not attend.) and see if they have a booth with discounted prices. .

Administrators Gail Posted September 10, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yes, Logos material is worth the investment if you can afford it. My dream is to one day acquire one.

Aliensanctuary Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 When you get a chance, share your opinion on how the KJV slaughtered the original Hebrew pronunciations of proper nouns. Ex: Beit Lechem (House of Bread). We call this town Bethlehem.
