I agree that you are partially confused,John, but I would not say completely. You are too hard on yourself. :)God's Spirit cannot work through hermeneutics and contextual studies of the original text?
OH I have been looking for the Originals, you found them? Unless a bunch of word wranglers Collate a bunch of ms we can not get to the real meanings & nuance?

jt: You completely negate the ministry of the Holy Spirit in all of this Bill. Jesus gave no qualifications having to do with language when he said the Comforter would reveal truth to His disciples and it is my belief that He is able to give understanding to all who are in Christ Jesus whether or not they know Hebrew and Greek.regardless.
You know, I am completely confused, here. Did not Judy - just a couple of days ago -- give us a lesson in Greek? Quoting and writing about Greek meaning and implications? But more than this, how is it that in your thinking, Judy, God's Spirit cannot work through hermeneutics and contextual studies of the original text? We are told to study to show ourselves approved .... Surely God is at work in this diligent "paying of attention." Paul suggests that God's Indwelling has everything to do with all that we might do in working out this thing we call salvation.
John ==================================================
Let me turn the bulb on if I may. Remember "God reveals things to the simple that He hides from the wise"? He was comparing folks with degrees and libraries and titles to quilt makers and rednecks and grandmas from Australia.
You'll get a big grin out of this next line. We know stuff inherently, by the power of the Spirit, that you will never figure out by reading everything ever written in or about Greek. I wish you could understand that. I truly do.
