Study Tools
First things first, you need the proper tools: a King James Bible, not an NIV. The other tool
you'll need, is a concordance, which is nothing more than a Hebrew and Greek dictionary.
Now the only one that is accurate is Dr. James Strong “Strong’s concordance of the King
James Bible.” Therefore, that’s why I strongly recommend the King James Bible. I have a
FAQ on “Why the King James Bible” or you can learn Hebrew and read the original
manuscripts for themselves. There are original manuscripts out there called the Masoretic
Text which is the original words and footnotes of the Bible, I recommend the Greens
Interlinear. The other helpful tool is a regular dictionary some are better than others. I have a
college study Webster’s Dictionary, for example, look up the word Easter, my Webster’s
College Dictionary says, “the word Easter, although the name of a Christian festival, had its
origins in pagan times, Eastre or Eostre, the old English spelling of Easter was originally the
name of a Germanic goddess who was worshipped at a festival at the spring equinox. Her
name is closely related to Latin aurora and Greek reros, both of which mean dawn.” The
other handy tool is an encyclopedia, most are good, I use Wikipedia online. Most of what
you'll read fits right in line with Gods word. Use simple literature 101 (subject, object and
article), common sense, analogies, euphemisms, idioms, examples, types, symbolism and
Hebraisms etc., to understand Gods Word.
