I have on several occasions had discussions with individuals who make
outrageous claims with regard to the Greek, only to find out that they've
been using an interlinear along with Strong's concordance. I have also met
individuals who feel that using an interlinear does help them learn Greek,
but of course, they think learning Greek is getting the secret decoder ring
for the NT.
