→Personal opinion of Andrew Schlafly: excellent? irrelevant!
::Excellent point by PetyrB. August, real scholarship is about rejecting the mistakes of prior scholars. Are you going to insist next that the [[Essay:Adulteress Story|Adulteress Story]] must be genuine, because the translators of the [[KJB]] were fooled by it???--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 14:26, 24 June 2014 (EDT)

:::*More of an irrelevant than an excellent point: the quality of the translation is excellent, even if the original Greek text is an invention. A counterfeiter, who copies a forgery, can still do an excellent job, but his work may differ from the original.
:::*It is not sure that you have found a mistake of prior scholars.[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] It is even quite unlikely. It is not the conservative way to embrace an insight just because the idea is new. You should corroborate your thoughts.
:::*At this level (i.e., calling the accumulated wisdom of centuries of scholars a mistake), you should be able to answer some questions about your translation. I repeat:
:::*Could you please provide us with a list of genitives translated as appositions in the way you would like to see this in this case?
:::*Where are examples of parallel constructions? ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ "The Son, a God"? ὁ υἱὸς τῆς Μαρίας "The Son, a Mary?"
