Doc, "losing anointing" - it is not a scriptural expression per se - in fact the very word anointed is thrown around these days like trash - another religious buzz-word but in common use today amongst xtians it simply means become "less" anointed, less 'inspired', less 'empowered' or a lifting off of the anointing that was given for a specific task Example : in preaching - an anointing comes when you preach the Word in righteousness - but when you've finished your message and finished praying etc. the anointing for preaching the Word you had "lifts" or "calms down" if you will choose your terms as you will - that is what most people mean when they talk about 'losing it' as any anointed (or gifted if you prefer) preacher will tell you. As I clearly stated, the basic anointing that all xtians have is never taken away. :-) |

Thank you, Javelin... If I understand you correctly it is a matter vernacular or jargon associated with a particular group called "xtian." Furthermore, although it was lifted from Scripture, it has no actual ties to what is meant by the term as used therein. You'll forgive me, I hope, for being old and obtuse: However, I am unfamiliar with this other term as well. Checking the Internet, I do not find a definition for xtian. However, what I could learn about them -- since based on your use and the contexts on the net, it seems that they are a group of people -- appear to be primarily derogatory. (By the way, searching the forum archives was also unenlightening.) In Him, Doc |

xtian - you don't know this abbreviated form for christian ?! it is like Xmas for Christmas the X being the greek letter CHI used by the early church to represent the name of Christ - as seen in the popular fish, or Ichthys symbol : [Iesous (Jesus) XPristos (Christ) THeou (of God) Uiou (the Son) Soter (the Savior)] it was also adopted in the symbol Chi-Rho or "sigla": the letters "X" and "P," representing the first letters of the title "Christos," it is not just an english 'x' but the greek chi which looks exactly like our capital 'X' using this simply makes posts shorter and easier to write As to your commenton the "anointing" - "...no ties..." etc. that is another matter which is debatable ;-) |
