Nobody ever talks about the fact that much of scripture is written in Greek. The Greeks being Eastern Orthodox probably have a good handle on what’s in the bible especially when one considers that translating Greek to Latin or any other language may have opened the door to interpretive differences.

Actually, its sort of a constant mantra around here, even from the Latins. BTW, all of the NT was written in Greek.
