I like the thought that the best place for careful inspection of the original 
language is in a Bible Study setting.  The downside is that many good 
students will get lost if the discussion becomes too technical, or 
"personal".  I would like to be able to see it though. In fact I prefer the 
"study" environment to the "preaching" environment because of the ability to 
better ( and quicker) asses the students' grasp of the concepts.

One of the difficulties we have in making this happen on a greater scale is 
that it seems most American Christians are not truely interested in what the 
Bible really says, and will avoid a class where such in depth study occurs.  
They desire, it seems, only enough knowledge to make them feel comfortable.

I would like to seek out those in my community who might be of a similar mind 
to study at least in part from the Greek, even if takes some time for some to 
get aclimated to the language.  I would prefer students in such a group of 
all levels.  This is something I may pray about and perhaps discuss with some 
close freinds.  ( there are in my church I think 6 or seven who know Greek 
besides the pastor)

I saw a suggestion ( think in this thread) of a Greek weekend where only 
Greek would be permitted.  Sign me up!
