No one but Greeks can learn Greek? Does this mean only Italians can learn Latin? Can only someone born in France learn French?

The Catholic disdain for the ability to learn and use the NT Greek is amazing.

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. :)

My wife speaks two other languages, besides English. She tells me Jesus had half brothers and sisters, the children of Mary and Joseph, after they did the evil deed. Later I will ask her to show me the exact words in her two native languages, and give me the EXACT meaning. Later bro. 😃
