This blog post about Hebrew Bible study is written from a Christian point of view. I believe that 1st Corinthians teaches how to interpret Hebrew Bible.
The main idea of this blog post is in the "1st Corinthians, chapter 2" section below. Please necessarily read it.
(I am able to wisely interpret not every verse of I Corinthians, so I will explain some verses and skip some others.)
Yes you are called even if you are stupid to [[Project:Translators|become a Bible translator]] even if you consider yourself a stupid man, in order that God shames professional theologians and linguists.
Your "foolish" translation without vowels is much greater than a traditional translation by "wise" theologians and linguostslinguists.
God has chosen missing vowels ("things that are not") to be much greater than "things that are" (thorough linguistics and cultural study of Hebrew word derivation using vowels).
It is also about me. I am neither excellent in ancient Hebrew speech, nor I am a wise theologian. But I proclaim what is deserves to be called "the testimony of God".
===1st Corinthians, chapter 2===
Now to the main topic of this blog post (1st Corinthians 2):
I mind that Hebrew Bible should not be considered as human wisdom, but its study should be the demonstration of spiritual sense.
This means a simple thing: The human meaning of Bible and the cultural context of the people which wrote it is not that important, the important thing is what God has said through these people.
<blockquote>7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,</blockquote>
We reveal God’s mysteries. Is it written that stewards of God’s mysteries should be very smart? No, that we should be faithful. If you have faith, you can join us studying God's mysteries in Hebrew Bible, even if you are not particularly smart.
