A seminary that does not require Greek and Hebrew is not worth going to. Period. End of story. Don't waste you time. Get it? Really. Yes, I do mean it! :tomb:

First of all, you don't NEED to learn Latin for anything. It is good, and helpful, but not necessary.

Second, Hebrew is NOT easier than Greek. Yes, I mean that. Only one thing needs to be said: ZERO cognates verses a plethora of cognates (get it ? - both plethora and cognate ARE cognates! )

If you have done some Greek Latin will be much easier and Hebrew will be easier than if you did not have a language.

Don't take short cuts, you'll regret it later.
