That's all famous arguments. That started after the fact. 1500 years after the fact.
"The Pharisees certainly could read and understand Hebrew......"
That's not the point. Greek was shown. Someone who does not know the language is trying to define what it originally means who does not speak the language. It is put there to show what it is suppose to mean by the poster.
You know like point counterpoint in a belief.
All I did was to show that a Greek speaking people and Church see it otherwise.
Plus to judge a language from a dictionary only without knowing it is very bold to the Greek speaking people who believe otherwise. Amazing.
The meaning of a term in the Scriptures is determined by the understanding and usage of the language at that time not that of today. So what Greek speaking people of today understand as modern Greek is beside the point.
The same could be said of English or Spanish, etc.
“Plus to judge a language from a dictionary only without knowing it is very bold to the Greek speaking people who believe otherwise. Amazing.”
Amazing is the notion that being born into a language group confers expertise covering the past 2500 years of the language.
“That’s all famous arguments. That started after the fact. 1500 years after the fact.”
Then you should have no problem in pointing to one Christian called a priest in the Scriptures. Just one will do but I don’t have 1500 years to wait.
