Whatever Christian charity I might have does not extend to giving you a Greek lesson.

“I’ve got to tell you, your intellectual honesty isn’t looking too strong right now.”

You jump into a theological discussion with a medieval spin on Jude 11 and you say I’m intellectually dishonest because YOU can’t read Greek? Please. Ask your priest or your bishop, or the local Orthodox priest, what it means and why it might be important in the context of your belief that Jude 11 refers to +Peter (or his successors at Rome, I assume, and not Antioch).

In the meantime, read the Fathers on Num. xvi. 1-35. The link I gave you is to their works in English. Like I said, some time with the Fathers will show you how nonsensical your interpretation of Jude 11 is.

You know very well "giving you a greek lesson" is not required to do anything but preserve your sense of self.

No, I'm saying you are intellectually dishonest because you are hiding behind Greek to end the debate without disproving nor conceding.
