Several times over the last few weeks, I have been asked about Phoebe and whether or not she was a deacon in the sense of the Biblical office. And then there was one sad example where when I mentioned how powerfully God used some of the Biblical deacons in the New Testament that someone shocked me by adding, “and some of those were women”. I was immediately taken aback by the comment and I asked, do you mean Phoebe? The person nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders. I interjected that his assertion was very much a misunderstanding of the text, especially since no major English translation even translates the underlying Greek word as anything other than “servant”. The word, deacon, is a peculiar word in English. It is a transliteration. Transliteration is the process of converting text from one writing system or alphabet into another by matching sounds. Unlike translation, which focuses on changing the actual meaning of words, transliteration focuses entirely on spelling or pronouncing them, allowing readers to read foreign words in a familiar alphabet.
And that’s what I wish to talk about in this video.LINKS AND CONTACT INFORMATION: https://link.forthemaster.org/linktree
