Just as stated in the Title of this thread, do you speak the Biblical Language? I have friends around me saying that, when we understand something, we have to respond with "Amen" because we are Christians. We have to change our terminology such as saying, "Blessings", "Glory be to God", "Thanks be to God", etc. or even use phrases like, "There's an Isaac for every Rebecca" (for single ladies to have their life partner), "Why can't you be a Paul?" (to answer the call to be a missionary), etc.

What's your opinion?
 
No, I rarely use such terms, and I think they are just sayings/ expressions, just like other , not bible related ones.
like, uh, like "don't put your cart before your horse" etc. It is our faith and love towards god and others that matter :)
