Elizabeth,
I thought this was a forum for discussing Greek.
You have:
(1) Complained about an interpretation promoted by an anonymous but
apparently prominent person.
(2) Cast doubt on that person's credentials by your use of quotations around
the word "scholar".
(3) Told us where he obtained his degree (perhaps implying that it has some
relevance to his scholarly deficiencies).
If you are not going to provide the person's name so that others can judge
these matters for themselves, I suggest that we stick to discussing the
original issue. I thought Dr. Conrad's and Yancy Smith's comments were most
helpful and to the point.
