Really?
Can you explain Hebrew poetry to me, and tell me what the three main types of Hebrew poetry are?
Whose personal understanding should I use then?
Yours?
Hebrew, Greek.
But Bible is more than just a language, its also about the cultural meanings of the words, ideas and concepts you must understand to translate it and to read it properly.
Another silliness comparable to Flat Earth or the YEC.
KJVO is another silliness comparable to the Flat Earth or the YEC. Again, disrespect to the Bible.Does this look like Hebrew & Greek to you?

Is a King James Bible a Bible?
I'm neither Flat Earth, nor YEC.
But I am KJVO.
Neither me nor you are experts in the ANE culture, history and concepts.
Use a good Bible Dictionary, online lessons and other similar proper resources.
Then do not be upset when your lack of seriousness is called out as disrespect towards the Bible.No, thanks.

I am telling you the whole time. Stop using it to prove silly things and take the original context, culture seriously.Then tell me how to respect It.

Bible is not a fetish you can use for whatever ideas you want to prove.
I am telling you the whole time. Stop using it to prove silly things and take the original context, culture seriously.
Use a good bible dictionary to understand the culture, use some online lectures, read books or articles of people who specialize in it.
Put away your pride that you know the best.
Respecting the Bible is learning about it and how to understand it. Respect towards other people who specialize in the ANE culture and their texts and concepts and willingness to learn from them.You have NO IDEA as to the amount of respect I give to the Bible and Its translation sequence.
For one thing, notice I capitalize the Bible, when I'm referring to It as a pronoun?
For another -- and you'll love this -- I claim the Bible's originals crumbled to dust, and Their ions are seen in the sky as the auroras.
Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
You may think that's crazy, but what goes around comes around.
What Bible?
You seem to be more bent on ridiculing what I believe.
How about answering some of my questions, so we can see what you believe?
Stop hiding behind Wrong's Concordance, letting James Wrong tell you what it is you believe.

Capitalizing the title or even reading it the whole day is not it.
And I will not fall into a rabbit hole of the KJVO quiz with you,
... one kind of silliness in this thread is enough.
Come back when you have more answers than ridicule.
I am not leaving anywhere.
Do you do the same with other academic pursuits?
Do you insist on translating your up-to-date biology books into Hebrew, so you can translate it back to English to get "the full meaning"?
You mean the ones who call the Jews "ancient, goat herding, desert nomads"?
I love asking them how the Jews got into the desert in the first place.
And, interesting enough, I have never once -- (in almost 20 years here) -- not one time has any "Hebrew scholar" told me it was by way of the Reed Sea.
Not once.
No -- they'll let Wrong's Concordance do that for them.
While they, themselves, won't touch that question with a ten foot Rosetta stone.
Oh, of course not.
Hebrew scholars will tell me how to properly venerate God's word, won't they?
Don't feel bad.
Which question scares you the most?
The one about Satan's angelic name? what the Tabernacle in the Wilderness was made from? where Moses crossed into the desert?
Wrong's Concordance has that affect on KJVOs.
Just like science does on Bible literalists.
They tend to separate Christians into "mature Christians" or "silly Christians."
-- Solid aurum.
Fine.
Stay here and ridicule then.
It's easier than answering tough questions, isn't it?
Stop babbling nonsense.
Try to sing it, maybe that will help.
