1 | Should we redefine terms? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 23051 | ||
Note ... We need to be careful when we define words ... -gentleman ... we have changed the meaning of this. The original is still in the dictionary. We call most men a gentleman. -gay ... it used to be a term one would want to be. Even if you went to a place that was happy and gay. -love ... I think we even misunderstand what agape love is. It is a very broad term. There are times we need to explain what we mean. For example, if a culture has never seen a lamb, to see that Jesus was the Lamb sacrificed would mean nothing.

Personal Note ................................... Dear Searcher, You seem to agree that "there are times we need to explain what we mean". In that case, would you also agree that those times would include times when one regularly used a word in a different sense than either the dictionary or the vast majority of forum members? |

We do need to explain, Sir Pent. So when I (we) say worship, we need to add (bow low) (service) (praise) (sacrifice) et al. S | ||||||

Personal Note .................................... Dear Searcher, Thanks my friend. I think that it would help if this were made more clear in the future. An added benefit of you saying "worship (which Searcher believes to be specific to prostrate submission to God)" is that myself and others then shouldn't feel compelled to contradict, becuase it clearly states that it is your opinion. |
