Greek Influence

Ancient Korinth, Greece

When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

-- Zechariah 9:13

Introduction:

I am using this page to collect information about the influence of the Greek culture on modern religion.  I have heard people say that our Heavenly Father used the Greek culture as a way of spreading the Gospel to the most people.  I do not hold with this idea because it seems that if sheer numbers were the goal, HE would have used the Chinese.  I personally feel the Greek culture was an impedement to people of faith as it is recognized as one of the four (4) beasts of the book of Daniel.
