So “no man” really means “no man in a religious context” and not “no man” . . . but just when you want it to?

No, a better explanation is this one:

Awesome link there - Thanks.
Bergsma is a treasure.
I did not know of the 1 John 2:13-14 verse reference.
A good link for anyone who wishes to go a little deeper
