Otherwise, if not, assuming a BA, MA, and PhD in Theology for a Protestant would include studies in Hebrew and Greek, you might challenge him to a battle of Hebrew and Greek in real time where neither of you have time to look anything up ... and see who knows Hebrew and Greek more substantively and correctly.

Depends on the school. For example. Columbia Theological Seminary doesn't require Greek or Hebrew in their core MDIV classes but offers them as an elective...and that's just one course in either Greek or Hebrew.

Their DMin doesn't appear to require any.

Notre Dame's seminary MDiv requirements list no Greek or Hebrew. That doesn't surprise me though as I don't think most Roman Catholic seminaries focus on the original languages.

If you think your original language skills are greater than a Protestant with a PhD you might challenge him to an online trial by combat as it were. It might be educational for all concerned.
