Currently studying for a Graduate Certificate in Greek at an accredited seminary. Two classes down, two more to go. When completed with this, I plan to continue to study of Greek. There is a lot to learn.

My Greek sources include William Mounce, Bruce M. Metzger, and Daniel B. Wallace.

In prior posts, not necessarily on this thread, I've cited their work when warranted per academic requirement.

The beauty of the Greek is that it is not denominational. Msgr Pope, in an article recently posted by Salvation, indicated he was discovering the Greek.

I sincerely believe if all believers had a working knowledge of Greek, we'd have a lot fewer disagreements on the issues.

Anymore questions?

So we are at roughly the same level of education, using the same sources. I will stick with the accepted interpretation.

Hey Eagle guy. In my LONG and illustrious Air Force career, 😆 I was in Germany, where part of our job, was to train NATO, host nation Air Force pilots in the construction of instrument flight procedures. Once, we had 3 Greek Air Force pilots come for training. I thought, here is my chance. I showed them numerous Greek words and phrases, and asked them if the English translation was good. They said yes, the translations were good. I can't remember any of them, except where Jesus said it is finished (John 19:30) They said, whatever job He had been assigned to do, he accomplished it. Very enlightening.
