An interesting observation about Biblical languages, sort of

This is actually an issue of mine re. authoritative statements re. certain subjects, because the longer I've studied the more I've realized these are subjects which no one actually ever masters...like, there are things we simply don't know...I tread very carefully on that and for that reason I would never want to attack someone or belittle them when the truth is, we are all just human beings. I would just caution ppl with the question...could we be mistaken? The answer is, yes:(...we need to be honest about that. Being mistaken does not being insincere, deceptive or even evil...it just means we are, human.

@HebrewGreekStudies You are right here, it so true we are not masters and will always find things we simply do not understand. I make mistakes all the time. I also learn from my mistakes if I can see them as such. Do not authoritative statements go in a whole different direction? I've read statements from real people who have stated very clearly with many references from the bible and from various sources with much authority that God is a monster. I can not accept this. I could consider that I am mistaken but my belief that God is good does give a full authority to express my belief as a truth.

@HebrewGreekStudies , yeah, and as long as we can admit that, it is part of living and learning. We will not always know everything.

Yeh, the truth is, there is a lot we don't know...even when we know what the words mean, we still don't know what some things were actually saying. I tend to tread, with caution, especially when it is a matter of someone being right, wrong, or if a word such as heretic or apostate is thrown around...for what we don't know, there are many things such as love and compassion which we do know. The truth is...we all tend to misappropriate certain things more then we realize:/

I like your mention of competent mechanics to help-and that is my entire issue...actual competency within subject matter. If we are humble and sincere God could lead us to the truth, but that can go 2 ways, a person must consider that God's answer may not be the one they *like*. The scribes and pharisees would be a judgement call which we may not be in the place to make-like, the scribes in the Bible are specific ppl...but today, we run the risk of name calling, and we run the risk of that being an argument in and of itself which has little baring on the actual subject matter. For example, a person may not like someone, those evil ppl, that evil denomniation, but that does not mean their statements are by default wrong, all they are doing is name calling. My question, which a Christian must consider is...can we be wrong? Because those making counter statements, that is what they are saying, that someone else is wrong...but, could they themselves be wrong?

@HebrewGreekStudies I am convinced that if we are wrong but are desiring what is right, then God will help us to see things as they are and not as we think somewhere along the way. Let's keep going!
