1 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | richilou | 10701 | ||
Now, my friend I would like to tell you that you understood well what the person meant by "the head of the Church" without trying to split the hair in four. I think that that persons knew that Christ is the head of the Church, and wanted to say that he is head in the sense of leadership. Let us not think that all christians are ignorant of the truth when they don't use the exact word to express their thought. | ||||||
2 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | kalos | 10740 | ||
richilou: I certainly would not assume that some Christians are ignorant of the truth just because they fail to use the exact word to express their thoughts. I understand and agree with the point that not all people are equally proficient in a given language nor are all writers created equal (as far as writing skills are concerned). On the other hand, had I read the post in question, I would have understood it exactly as Hank did. Words do have meaning. We know what a person MEANS by what he SAYS. To slightly paraphrase 1 Cor 14:11: Therefore, if I know not the meaning of the [words spoken], I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. Or, as Professor Henry Higgins says: "One common language I'm afraid we'll never get. Oh, why can't the English learn to speak?" --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |

The thing I noticed is that, in reality, we believe the same thing concerning the point you made in your response. But I just wanted to say that even though words are important they are often used in another way that we could have thought. As you said: "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." | ||||||
