I'm not sure if this was your intention, but the language used here is
rather insulting. I'm not seeking grammatical justification for one view.
Rather, since you presented one view I wanted to get your response to what
seemed to be the best view from the other side, and since you said you knew
of no NT examples, I provided one. If you had argued for PISTIS as the
antecedent, I would have offered the objections of the other side. You may
disagree, but this seems to me to be a sound methodology. In any event, I
found your responses helpful, despite your judgements on my intent.
