(12,344 posts)Since I am not you, Instead I'll just suggest you reread my post, with the following gloss:
The text of the Ancient Greek New Testament written by fluent Ancient Greek speakers and interpreted by the early Greek Church Fathers who spoke native Ancient Greek and lived in countries where Ancient Greek was the primary language and wrote their commentaries in Ancient Greek for other Ancient Greek speakers made clear which sense of the Ancient Greek word they thought the Ancient Greek word meant. Did I mention that they were native Ancient Greek speakers and you are not?
If you wish to disagree with their interpretation for theological reasons, that's fine. But it's simply not viable to argue that the difference is due to them not understanding their own native language.
