It seems to me that there is something which is apparent through this 
thread.  While this is not a forum for the discussion of theology or 
doctrine, it is evident that one of the considerations which should be made 
in the selection of a Greek grammar is its doctrinal orientation.  We most 
certainly ought, as professionals, to agree to disagree agreeably, but we 
would only be fooling ourselves if we pretended there were no doctrinal 
differences or doctrinal considerations in the way we interpret the Greek 
text.

Sometimes, it would be refreshingly transparent if one were to say: "Of the 
two possible treatments of this Greek construction, I choose approach "a" 
because it is in keeping with my other doctrinal understandings.

'Nuff said.
