Who of you is a member of (or knows something about) the Church of God live?

I've seen his TV show "Tomorrow's World" and subscribe to the magazine. Besides, I have completed the course on Bible study by mail and received their brochures, which are free. Some of their doctrines and beliefs have been enlightening and increased my understanding of the biblical text and the prophecies. However, I still do not know much about their religion and if it is, in fact, the true church on earth. Just curious to know if there is a lot of followers in the R & S issues.

Armstrong cult! Stay away! I belonged to a branch for ten years. Teach them racist, sexist, intolerant BS and are contrary to education.

learning hebrew
Learning Hebrew-Q’s inside?

I am an Afghan, so I speak Farsi.

I plan on learning a plethora of languages, including Arabic and Hebrew.

I plan on learning them from Rosetta Stone. I know that if you know Arabic, Hebrew is easy to learn, which is why I want to learn it, because I figured if I learn Arabic, I should put in some more time to learn Hebrew.

Like I mentioned, I know Farsi as well, incase that helps.

So how long will it take for me to learn it if I spend 2-3 hrs/wk?

Salam

depends on how fast you are at learning languages. it will take at least one month but realistically more, for you to really be able to speak it.

i read, write and can speak hebrew but i know someone who was learning from the rosetta stone. he said that it didnt really give him a feel for the language because the photos used for the words are standard pictures. however, rosetta stone does teach the language.

hebrew is very much like arabic, but not really modern hebrew, more the biblical one – many words are similar although the prefixes and suffixes are very different. i know nothing about farsi, so cant help you there.

good luck!

What Goes Into Translating the Audio Bible

Did you know that most of the people in the world cannot read? We take free, public education in the United States for granted sometimes, but with it does come the opportunity for public literacy learning. This is unfortunately not the case worldwide, where political conflicts and poverty take a toll on the educational needs of citizens of other countries. When it comes to reading the Bible, therefore, there are many in the world that simply do not have the skills to do so. There is a solution to this problem, however, and that is the introduction of the audio Bible.

The translation process has been brought to the King James audio Bible, for example, bringing the wonders of modern technology to bear on the problem of sharing God’s Word in a way that all can understand. The NIV audio Bible, as well as the King James audio Bible have been downloaded onto a CD that uses mp3 files to compress the entire New Testament so that it fits on a single CD. People can then listen to the audio Bible and even conduct audio bible study groups using this fantastic audio version of the Bible. Of course, there are thousands of different languages spoken around the world, so how is Bible translation work done so that all listeners can understand what is being said on the CD?

There are several groups whose purpose is to translate the Bible so that everyone in the world will be able to read or hear it in their own language. Wycliffe Bible Translators is one such group. They take a scholarly, linguistic approach to Bible translation. Linguists are sent into the field to work with a people group whose language has never been written down before. These linguists work with native speakers to document a language’s phonetics, phonology, syntax and grammar. After this painstaking research, they apply what they have learned to translating the Bible into this newly recorded language.

Phonetics refers to the sounds of a particular language. The human voice can make many sounds, yet not all of them are used for language production. The linguist’s job is to listen well and document each of the individual sounds used in the particular language, in a way that is verifiable and repeatable by all speakers.

Phonology has to do with how the various sounds identified phonetically function within the language. The linguist will work, after gaining phonetic data out in the field, to identify what the phonemes, or the smallest unit of speech that characterizes meaning, of the language are.

Syntax is the study of sentence structure, and grammar is a listing of the rules that apply to the structure of sentences. Wycliffe, and other Bible translation organizations, apply linguistic standards to the study of languages that have never been written before, and then apply what they have learned to Bible translation. Some of these organizations have also partnered with audio Bible production groups, so that the Bible is now available in languages that many of the world’s speakers can understand.

hebrew classes
Can anyone phonetically translate the sentence “I want to be your wife” into Hebrew for me?

I know a little bit of Hebrew but I haven’t made it to the point in my classes that I can form this particular sentence and my instructor is out of town. Thanks for your help.
Obviously he asked a different question (for those of you trying to be funny) and this would be how I would answer. :)

Best Free online hebrew lessons?

I really want to learn basic conversation in Hebrew! Basically, what I 'm looking for a Web site can have lists of words into categories (like food, colors, etc. and pronouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.) and some lessons in grammar. All I found so far are very confusing sites require downloads or just the first three lessons are free or BS like that.
