And Mr. Ostapyuk, are you my twin brother or what? You had my thoughts exactly!
You know I see a lot of things like this as protecting Ivory towers. You have some professors etc, of Greek that don't want to loose their prestige, possibly even position. You have other people who have bought into a scientific empirical understanding of the Bible etc. and they like the "Exactness" of Greek. It makes them feel safe, secure, etc. Kind of like a security blanket. So they simply can't respond to any kind of a objection with any kind of rationality. Their faith is simply to tied to it.
