Having read through Miller's "Guide to Textual Criticism", and seeing the little amount of Greek language in it, I am reminded that in this and also in the works of Dean Burgon (& Scrivener, Ruckman, and others), there is, at least, some Greek used. And it would be fruitful to be able to read, speak, and understand these references to the Greek language and the Greek New Testament. Although I have given thought to learning the Biblical Greek language a few times in the past, I have never acquired a determination for it as I have now. I feel led to the study. So, I obviously will be making use of J. G. Machen's New Testament Greek For Beginners along with an audio/written Greek Tutor software, 3 Greek New Testaments, and Edward Miller's Greek Primer (1925 Impression produced photographically from the sheets of the Second Edition of 1893 - [First Edition 1887]).
In addition to this, I am still studying the Biblical new testament local church, Dr. Ruckman's Commentary on the book of Acts, and I have added the study of Psalm 119 by way of Jeff Adams' commentary called Psalm 119 A Journey Into The Heart of God. Perhaps this is the Lord's leading me into a structure of several subjects of study simultaneously and I may even continue my previous study of science (Evolution, Creation, Catastrophes, etc.) devoting some time daily or weekly to each. Another thing I might do is pick up again the correspondence course work with Charity Baptist Bible Institute. I pray for the Lord's continual leading.

- I was "born of the flesh" on November 24, 1960 and I was "born of the Spirit" (John 3:5-6) in May, 1981. "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) I am a 55 year old student and teacher of the word of God, the Holy Bible. I am a student of the English Language and its history including Anglo-Saxon and Middle English. I am also currently studying American History. I am an avid reader with a personal library of around 2000 volumes. I am a literary critic including Biblical works and Biblical doctrine. I am a master of Biblical studies, having read completely through the King James Bible approximately 30 times, and studied the Bible for most of 27 years. I have written and personally published and printed (by Word of Truth Publications) about 20 Biblical tracts. I continue my studies for continued personal growth and for preparation for further publication of new materials.
