Hello, I'm Gary's German. Today we're going to talk about the language of the New Testament. And with us today is Brent Miller Sr. and he's done a great work.

I want you to sample some of the work that he's done on video as he talks about a particular word in the New Testament.

And then we're going to come back and have a great conversation with him.

When Jesus spoke, he spoke in the common man's language, Conan Greek, which is a very precise and elegant language.

English, on the other hand, is a very imprecise language.

We now have over 450 translations in English that have subtle changes with each other.

These subtle changes create discrepancies

which create division among Christians. So how do you solve the problem? What if we could

go back to translate the entire New Testament and understood it exactly the way the early Christian

church understood it 2,000 years ago.

Only recently, with breakthroughs in a monadic hermeneutics-based translation,

have we been able to accomplish translating the entire New Testament in just over 20 years.

It opens up your eyes to the true nature of God. For example, in Greek we have four

words for love. There is the physical love. There is a brotherly love. There is a perfect God love,

pure and holy. And then there's the bonding of a mother with a child.

In English, all these words are translated into a single word, love.

But in the original language, there are four very precise words.

So if you look at John in chapter 21, where Jesus is asking Peter, do you love me?

And Peter's response is, yes, Lord, I love you. In English, we see the same word. In Greek,

Jesus is asking Peter, do you agopi me?

Do you love me unselfishly?

Peter's response is, I love you, but the word he uses is filetho.
