, 19:49, April 6, 2017→Statement on Translations: Andy, are you claiming that you have a greater understanding of Greek than Martin Luther?
:Do you consult the work of people who lived in the 1500s for advice about physics today? No, of course not. We should use the expanse in knowledge since then. That includes a greater understanding of Greek, a greater understanding of physics, and a realization of the commonality between the three synoptic Gospels. I repeat: nothing in the Greek grammar or otherwise of Mark's version requires a spoken order by Jesus. The passages in Matthew and Luke omit one. Modern physics teaches that it was observation that quelled the chaos, not spoken words. Common sense points out that seas don't hear. Based on all this and more, case closed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 13:21, 6 April 2017 (EDT)

Andy, are you claiming that you have a greater understanding of Greek than Martin Luther? Please, show me one modern expert of the Greek language who is working on the expansion of our knowledge of Greek who shares your insight! There is no one! All current edge translations agree: in Mark, Jesus spoke to the sea. If you can bring such an expert, that should close the case.
But I assume that you are unwilling to talk to Greek scholars as that would expose your degree of knowledge... --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 15:49, 6 April 2017 (EDT)
