The point you are making is that people should not jumpt to conclusions of interpretation without studying a word. I would ask you if that is not why you like to study Greek.
My point is that often, the correct definition of the English word is available, the word is correct, and it can be proven without going to a Greek text. And helping people understand that will also help them in their knowlege of their own language, which is not what the public schools do anymore.
I have been in the mountains of the Carolinas and W Virginia where people call each other “cousin,” thinking that they are probably related in some manner somewhere along the line (but wish they weren’t). They know full well that “cousin” doesn’t always mean son-of-my-mother’s-sister, etc.
Now I’m wondering why the moderator of this thread get’s on my case but doesn’t get on yours.
