This is an excellent and probably the only time that I've heard such a concise statement on commentaries and how/why to use them. I've been back and forth in using them for those reasons you state (being familiar with original langauges, not wanting to be influenced, etc). But overall try to keep a few digital commentaries on hand if and when I do find a passage harder to understand.
In light of what you write here, could your share your thoughts on using other reference documents such as lexicons, histories, etc. as parts of one's library of tools to understand and correctly apply the Bible's teachings and understand its concepts?
