Do you have to learn Greek and Hebrew to understand the bible fully?
No one can fully understand the Bible. Studying the Koine Greek and ancient Hebrew languages will help you understand some verses better. It is not a prerequisite to know God, who dwells in you.
Should you study Koine Greek and ancient Hebrew?
If you are interested in grammar and syntax, then yes. If not, then no. Would you read something like Grammatical Mood on a daily basis?
Some claim:
The best way to learn Greek or Hebrew is to study it in a classroom setting from a professor.
Studying grammar is a serious business. If you enjoy doing lexical-syntactical analysis, then go ahead.
