@Paultron no.
-
@MK2boogaloo might not be super useful then other than as a fashion/ conversation piece
-
@Paultron true, then other books. I really want to have a physical copy of Decline of the West but there are only 2 seller and they only sell the 2nd volume.

@MK2boogaloo >Vulgate
No, learn Greek and Hebrew, then get the Septuaginta, Nestle–Aland, and Hebraica Stuttgartensia
-
@SuperSnekFriend >Hebrew
I prefer Latin and Greek if we're talking about theology, I will never trust anything written in Hebrew.
-
@SuperSnekFriend @MK2boogaloo got one from 1910s
-
@MK2boogaloo Then your theology will be stunted, because God choose the Hebraic mindset, that He Himself help mold through His Spirit and Word, to bring out His revelation, not Graeco-Roman and Hellenized Judaic philosophy.
-
@SuperSnekFriend nah it's not because of that, I read something about the authenticity of the text between Vulgata, Septuangita and Hebrew. Latin is the most accurate, followed by Greek and then Hebrew.
-
@SuperSnekFriend @MK2boogaloo isn't there a pretty big difference between actual ancient hebrew and the yiddish that the usual suspects conflate it with?
-
@Spingebill @SuperSnekFriend @MK2boogaloo Hebrew is a Semitic language, yiddish is a German dialect.
-
@Spingebill @MK2boogaloo Yiddish is a German dialect of Aramaic. There are big differences, but Yiddish was never used as a scholarly language by either Christian academics or the Jews throughout history. And it is certainly not what forms the basis of the Hebrew Old Testament that you can read right now. The makers of the Leningrad Codex or Dead Sea Scrolls were not speakers of Yiddish.
-
@MK2boogaloo The guy who told you that is probably a Roman Catholic equivalent to a KJV-only'er, huffing the miasma of his own intellectual "superiority". I know of nobody but possibly those guys who think the Vulgate is close to accurate for study purposes

@Spingebill @SuperSnekFriend @MK2boogaloo A huge difference. The earliest Hebrew we have is far closer to Ugaritic texts and is proto-Aramaic. Hebrew was essentially dead even before Jesus' time and even that Hebrew was heavily cribbed from Babylonian.
Yiddish is, as stated by others, a guttural German dialect somehow kept alive from the ghettoes.
Interestingly, I've seen some rather compelling theories that even the written Hebrew language as we know it is essentially a later invention by Jewish priests and rabbis as a religious thing.

@Appalachian_Crusader @Spingebill @MK2boogaloo It was not "essentially dead" by the time of the post-exile. The only thing you could truly argue that had heavy change was the script used for Hebrew, nothing more.
The Mt. Ebal Curse tablet, which has all major name for God contra the Documentary Hypothesis, among other things disproves that the Hebrew of Ezra and Nehemiah, of the LXX Seventy, of Christ and Paul, or of the Talmudic rabbis were all mere figments of their highly reasoned imagination compared to the Hebrew of Moses and the pre-exilic prophets which you claim is a mere variation of Ugaritic.
