Clayboy on the Preacher’s Fallacy
Clayboy has an informative and well-written post about the mistakes that often follow after someone tries the “what the Greek really says” argument:
One of the biggest warning flags in a sermon comes when the preacher says: “Now, in Greek, the word is … which (literally) means …” Sometimes they know what theyre talking about. More often they are about to pull a fast one.
And by the way, “informative and well-written” after “Clayboy” almost goes without saying.

The most annoying and oft-repeated is the “it is finished” where the claim is usually made that “the Greek” says “paid in full.”
