1 | 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." | ||||||
