You’re too nice! I wouldn’t approve anyone’s program to dismiss language learning. That act of translation is next to salvation.

Perhaps we’ve misunderstood one another.

I’m not disparaging studying Greek. (I study it myself, and make use of lexicons, interlinears, etc. from time to time.)

What I’m discouraging is depending on Greek fluency (which sometimes really means, Greek “experts”) for truth, when the Bible itself will teach us truth and correct any errors. So then all we need to do is keep studying the Bible, and we’ll study our way out of our mistakes. No Greek required. :-)
