Hi against, in the course of my four posts multiple parts of your argument were reviewed and found wanting.

To begin with .. you misunderstood the usage of study in 1611, even overlooking the usage and footnote in Ecclesiastes. You overlooked, you didn't even notice, the full context of 2 Timothy 2:15, which helps direct the specific semantic range by its harmony with the complementary phrase. You very improperly attempted to limit the Greek word to what you repeatedly called its 'primary meaning', a basic lexical fallacy. Any you misunderstood the word 'study' in today's English, reducing its semantic range. And you offered alternate words that would have been used for 'study' without, apparently, doing any study on those words yourself.

Your attempted construct failed on multiple particulars, amply demonstrated. You then severely compound your error above by fabricating the concept of a "straw man argument" -- when point after point of my posts directly addressed your improper claims. Such a totally erroneous, fabricated accusation of a logical fallacy is the last vestige of a person whose arguments have disintegrated.

There is one thing you might do that would help, 'against' -

2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.

Shalom,
