Acts 9:33

[Paul Younan]

I'm not holding my breath, certainly I don't expect to see it in my lifetime. As a whole they have dedicated their careers (and indeed, their lives) studying the Greek, teaching the Greek, writing their doctoral dissertations on the nuances contained in the Greek. And that's just the secular ones.

The religious ones have one additional, critical handicap: they have theological investments based on the language itself. Think of all the synods, councils and declarations of faith. Ephesus, Chalcedon, Constantinople......Vatican II.

That's a lot of baggage there, buddy.

Sure, there will be one or two here and there who, after careful examination of the evidence and much soul-searching (and, most importantly, prayer)....well, they will value the truth and abandon an unreasonable position despite the effects it may have on their careers, relationships with peers, etc.

Cognitive Dissonance is a powerful psychological phenomenon, my dear friend. Only God can help one overcome it. In the meantime, all we can do is be a major-league thorn in their side.
