Acts 17:10  ¶And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
This is a key reason why scripture should be communicated to others, in normal Bible language...forget about the Hebrew and Greek. Having said that. If a person wants to study Hebrew or Greek, I have nothing against that, but... the idea in all fairness...is to give your audience a chance to search scripture...not Greek lexicons. I mean a person could be quoting from incorrect Greek sources...and the other person wouldn't even know it.
The KJV had 47 scholars translate it over 7 years. They checked over each others work. Why should I believe one Hebrew or Greek academic today (which most of them aren't anyway), when no one has even checked his or her work over. (Otherwards other scholars in Hebrew or Greek checking their work)
This is actually akin to letting some novice retranslate what has already proven to be an excellent translation (KJV). Most of the ones that have to do this constant Greek searching, don't really believe the Bible as it is written, and they are not fully aware, that there are rhemes of scripture on many important topics to back up a study.
2 Timothy 2:14  ¶Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.16  But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17  And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18  Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
ALL CHRISTIANS ARE NOT JUST CALLED TO BE RECEPTIVE TO THE TRUTH. WE ARE ALSO CALLED TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES TO SEE WHETHER SUCH THINGS ARE SO. IN FACT IF YOU THINK YOUR MINISTER MAY BE OFF IN HIS TEACHING...YOU SHOULD EVEN SEE WHAT OTHER REPUTABLE MINISTERS SO ABOUT THOSE TOPICS...BUT STILL WEIGH IT WITH SCRIPTURE.
