1 | Every NATION or every PERSON? | Matt 24:14 | jlhetrick | 169279 | ||
Hi Kalos, I agree, and not only the ordinary definitions, but how the bible defines them and what it teaches regarding them. Thanks, Jeff |

Jeff: I agree with you about the Bible definition of various words. When I wrote of the ordinary definition I meant the ordinary Bible definition as well as the ordinary dictionary definition. But whenever someone redefines the word chosen/elect to make it mean not chosen, then they are straying from BOTH the dictionary and the Bible definition of that word. The Bible may apply a slightly different or enhanced meaning of a dictionary word, but rarely, if ever, does it reverse the ordinary dictionary definition. (Many English words now mean the reverse of what they meant 400 years ago. But that is an entirely different matter.) Grace to you, Kalos |

Hi Kalos, Yes, I agree. One thing I am thankful for is that the Lord is making a change in me. I believe He is helping me to be more patient and more diligent in my search for the truth. He has also blessed me, along with a lot of others, with the forum. It has truly been a help to me in my learning and coming to a better understanding. You are one of those who have helped me greatly. Along with Doc, Mark Seyler, humbledbyhisgrace, Tmoran, Searcher, and others. Not that I always agree with you and these others, as they do not always agree with me. But the love and patients on the forum creates a safe environment to get it wrong and be redirected and nurtured in a loving Christian way (most of the time). I realize that God did not reveal His truths to us in a way that one must be a highly educated person with a command of the original biblical languages. But to have so many who have put time and effort into different areas, come together in one place; is a good example of what God intended concerning our call to serve one another. Thanks for all that you contribute here for the forum, and for me personally, Jeff |
