I just read the article of the original purpose of this thread. Here is my comment.
Outstanding exegesis. You followed the literal method by using the rules of context, history, and grammar (in other words, a good hermeneutic). I was especially impressed of your reference to the historical usage of the word "strain." I think your interpretation was right on, and your application to the KJVO view was excellent. I am not just saying this because we have the same views on translation. I think you did a great job. Where did you do your formal training?
PS, FSSL are you a Wings fan? I see you are from MI. If so, then I know you were watching what I watched 2nite. On to the finals!!!
