Why?

Why did you make it *slightly* less impossible for this proven ignoramus to
exhibit his "boundless" biblical scholarship?

You are being far too generous with this criminal fraud.

I would have just shown him a scan of the original document, and NOT done
most of the orthographic work for him, and then see what he made of it.
It is certainly the way that I, and I expect you, prefer to do things, vis:
interpret & translate the most original document that you are able to.

The cretin-for-christ is clearly a posing wanker, who has trouble
conversing in English, let alone Greek. I say: let him flounder in his own
imbecility.

With his claims to scholarly superiority, he should be transcribing the
original manuscripts for us, not the other way 'round!

(Of course he is lying through his teeth about his pretend knowledge)
