Dear Jonathan:

Thank you for your post. I would like to clarify one thing: By "area of
expertise" I did not mean to suggest an area such as "defending a theological
view." Christology, theology, etc., are well-respected fields of study, and it
just so happens that in discussing issues relative to these fields of study,
as they relate to the Greek text, a person will end up supporting one view or
another. But hopefully he or she will allow other possibilities to exist, if
they are grammatically possible.
