The only way to make a perfect translation of the ancient Greek, is to first set aside the modern practice of making upper and lower case letters.
No apostle nor reader of the gospel letters, ever thought to discern the truth of God, by way of a capital letter or not.
Whether it is the TRUE GOD, or A GOD, or just GOD, they were all caps.
This means that all translations writing any word, especially GOD, in lower case, it entirely doctrinal.
Which also means, the only way to discern the truth of the GODHEAD, has always been completely doctrinal from all Scriptures together.
That means that all these long-winded and tiresome ventures into somehow squeezing out the truth of the GODHEAD, by way of 'expert' translation only, is a foolish waste of time.
Afterall, if the true doctrine of CHRIST could be proven by scholarly definitions and translations of men's words, then who needs the Spirit?
Just go to your favorite Greek genius, or crack open our own scholarly Greek skills and voila! The truth is grammatically proven.
The point being, that the WORD OF GOD, is not made known by how men write and use their letters and words, but how GOD uses them to reveal HIS TRUTH.
I.e. it's much more sure and easier to simply read the Scripture in all CAPS, even as they were first written in, and then seek the Spirit's help to make difference between THE TRUE GOD, and A GOD, that is NO GOD at all.
Scholarship is not the problem, and being able to translate words into our own language is good, but relying on that scholarship for doctrine, is vain, because it is not possible: the most accurate translation of the ancient Greek into modern language, begins with all CAPS.
In the end, all truth of dcotrine of Christ must be from how the words of men are used by the Spirit doctrinally, not how men define and use their words to come up with their own doctrine.
