1 | Where is "accept Christ" in the Bible? | Acts 24:3 | kalos | 2993 | ||
I do not disagree with your definition and defense of the word "accept". But should we not, as Bible-believing Christians, be using Biblical terminology to discuss and describe Biblical issues, even in everyday conversation? Note also that the term "accept Christ" is used not only in everyday conversation among laymen, but also from the pulpit, where qualified preachers are supposed to be rightly dividing the Word of Truth. This may sound nitpicky, but I feel it is still important to impart Biblical truth using Biblical words. When Christ Himself, as well as the inspired men who penned the words of Scripture, used the words "believe" and "receive", who are we to substitute the word "accept"? Surely believe and receive are not obscure, obsolete Middle English words that are no longer in use today. | ||||||
2 | Where is "accept Christ" in the Bible? | Acts 24:3 | reformedreader | 3190 | ||
Thanks JVH0212, I would have said precisely the same thing. It is when Christians, for whatever reason, cease thinking, reasoning, speaking, etc. biblically, then we are no less guilty than the Pharisees who distorted the Word of God to suit their own minds. While we say we intend no harm, I'm sure the Pharisees said the same. Sam Hughey |
