[quote:52c79bb479]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![/quote:52c79bb479]

yes. yes. I get it.

[quote:52c79bb479]First of all, you don't NEED to learn Latin for anything. It is good, and helpful, but not necessary.[/quote:52c79bb479]

not necessary. but I want to. I'd rather learn Latin than Hebrew. [/quote:52c79bb479]

I understand. Believe me, I do not want to denigrate Latin. I have 10 years of formal study in Latin and another half dozen in informal study. When I had more time years ago, I could read 15-20 pages of Caesar a night in my bed. Latin is good. But if you want to be a seminarian, and more important, a minister of the gospel, Hebrew is essential. Not extra or nice. Essential.

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)
