Wonderment is correct.
Also, Freeman, you are making a very limited argument from authority. That is known as a "logical fallacy."
Critical thinking requires that the critical analytical answer be accepted, not the one that comes from someone just because they are a scholar of specialist.
This methodology requires that the argument be tested by disinterested parties to ensure that the results are not biased. Once sufficient, disinterested parties have done so and their results have been published and accepted academically, the critical results can be accepted on their own validity as nominal.
Also, Greek is quite easy to learn. It takes about a year of college level study to be able to read the New Testament text freely. The Greek Orthodox send their children to Greek school were they learn Koine Greek so as to follow along with their Sunday Liturgy. By the time they are 12 or 13 they can read the Scriptures and the Liturgy in Koine Greek unaided. The results are similar for Biblical Hebrew among Jews.
These languages are not hard. I've been using them, praying in them since I was a boy, even while I was a JW. I am 50 now. Yes, Christians tend to argue over nuances, but they really are quite simple.
I pray and read in Hebrew four times or more everyday. Scholars and Christian clergy have come to me asking for help in translation work over then years. The idea that these languages are the property of scholars only is poppycock!
If you haven't learned, it's because some Christian scholars want to keep you in the dark. If Jewish children learn the Shema in Hebrew by age 5, then it's a fallacy of selfish clergy and Christian academics who purposefully keep people confused by the minute details so they have to rely on them and pay them for their Bible translations.
Christians should be just as equipped as Jews, to read both Hebrew and Greek from infancy like we are so they don't have to rely on scholars or translations to read the Bible. I don't understand why your scholars and clergy and elders won't do such an easy work for you.
