And I know why people dismiss statements like "the Greek doesn't say that/that verse is not in the Greek". They don't want to admit that their cherished position might be wrong, and their interpretation not what was written originally - hence the attack on the language.
I've seen it in another thread on the KJV; the KJV is different from the Greek, there is no possibility that the KJV can be wrong, therefore let's attack those who claim to speak/understand the language and demand to see their credentials.
People who do speak/have studied the language can tell us if we are wrong, or correct, about certain words. The trouble is that some don't like having their theories contradicted.
The silly comments about needing to be a so-called expert in Greek to "prove" that the Greek means what it means only proves that this person isn't arguing in good faith and may even possibly be incapable of critical arguments if not outright trolling/gaslighting, which is very likely. I'm at the point where I'm reading his posts just to see what new levels of over-the-top ridiculousness he reaches because sometimes I'm just easily amused that way.
