Narrative:

We (air carrier X) clrd to taxi runway 13 via inner and east hold short of runway 4 (landing 4, departure 13). #1 position to cross 4. Ground controller clrd us to cross 4 and enter cc. Prior to adding power I looked left to verify no traffic. Air carrier Y was just about to touch down on 4. I told ground control (female) 'I don't think you want us to do that hon'. She replied 'air carrier X hold short'. No explanations! Had we not looked there would have been a collision. Controller needs training.
