I would just note what our B-Greek FAQ (http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/faq.html)says with respect to apologetics:
"B-Greek must not be used either to attack or to defend any particular doctrine deemed "orthodox" by one or
another individual or group; this is not the forum for apologetic controversy."
List discussion should steer clear of doctrinal issues and focus strictly upon what the Greek text may possibly mean
in terms of its grammatical and immediate contextual features.
