Q&A: How to responsibly use Hebrew and Greek resources without knowing the languages

Did God Create Evil? A Misunderstood Bible Verse: Isaiah 45_7 00:47:52 – 00:50:23

Practical advice for laypeople on lexical Bible study

Strong's Concordance is useful but limited — it lists how a word was translated in KJV, not the full semantic range or context-specific usage. Advice: (1) Consult multiple lexical sources rather than just one; (2) Check 10-15 English translations on Blue Letter Bible or Bible Hub; where translations agree, confidence is higher; where they diverge, the original language presents challenges. Basic Greek/Hebrew study is accessible online and rewarding. Mike also notes that having even limited language knowledge is a significant aid.
