Alexander demanded that the conquered lands surrender to him only in his language which was Attic Greek. Attic Greek itself, is a dialect of the Classical Greek.
The reason he demand them to surrender in his language is because his language is so precise, that it has no wiggle room or room for "interpretation". After a time, and Alexander, that language degraded into local area dialects called--KoinE. The KoinE of the NT is the Jerusalem area dialect and retains no wiggle room or room for interpretation.
As long as you honor the language in it's simple to understand highly inflected autographed form: it is impossible to interpret! Therefore, all interpretations are a result of NOT honoring the text and to instead, manipulate it! ALL theology is a manipulation of the text! That's why I look at theology like a brick looks at a stained glass window!
Oh bollocks.
