I am actually well-studied in both Latin and Greek, with a degree in the latter. The best translation of "praeis" is "selfless," not "learned." That makes plenty of sense. I think most ordinary people can pick up that meaning from the English translation, but true, not everyone will--not pseudo-intellectual dabblers, for instance.

Like many Christians, I care deeply about the content of the scriptures and don't take well to flippancy and deconstructionism.

Do you have a link? Thanks for attacking me. If you can't debate the issue, attack the person. Democrat handbook chapter 1.
