I’m not saying don’t learn Greek. I’m saying learn Greek but just know your place, and learn from the people that spoke it natively. Don’t tell them what their language means because it suits your theology.

Humility. That’s all.

By the way, the Greeks do it to us too. Some Orthodox tell us we are heretical because we hold the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son. To make a long story short, our “procedere” doesn’t mean exactly the same as their corresponding word, so we do not actually hold the heresy that they think we hold. To them I say the same. Don’t tell us what the Latin verb means. :)

And just who speaks NT Greek natively today?
