I agree with your last statement in the article, although, I also know I have learned so much more from Scripture when I have studied the Greek and re-read the passages with the additional vocabulary.
Think about this way.
We are all condemned before we are saved. We all have souls after we are born, given to us by God. We have a regenerated human spirit created after we exercise faith in Christ upon understanding the Gospel and turn to God, confessing our sins through faith in Christ and what He provided on the Cross.
We now go through life, still with a soul, but now also with a human spirit, where God the Holy Spirit indwells in this age.
He sanctifies our thinking in our souls as we intake His Word and understand it.
Our souls are still scarred, though, from years of learning independent of faith in Christ. If we aren’t in fellowship with Him as we study His Word, we easily fall into old sinful methods of worldly problem solving, instead of living through faith in Him.
If we read His Word, and are thinking what He intended, then God the Holy Spirit processes that into our soul, cleaning our thinking processes so that we are slowly purified and sanctified in our thinking.
It is also possible to read the Bible, without thinking His Word. This can cause a range of scarred thinking and arrogance problems ranging from legalism to lasciviousness.
While the Greek isn’t required to learn His Word, it sometimes helps some believers to grow a new vocabulary and might introduce some scarred souls back to the original intent of His Word, which we have unwittingly been reading into for many years.
What an excellent post!!!
