AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 18:11 "The Pharisee stood [ostentatiously] and began praying to himself [in a self-righteous way, saying]: 'God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of men--swindlers, unjust (dishonest), adulterers--or even like this tax collector. |
Subject: Would this be biblically accurate? |
Bible Note: EdB, According to the context that you are using the words "bias" and "prejudice", then I also would have to consider myself to be a very biased and prejudiced person. I suppose that it's quite identical to the use of the word "judgment". The meanings of a word can alter and change, depending upon the context that the word is used in, even as in scripture itself. Again, I greatly appreciate your usage of illustrations, as such provide context for the words used. I should myself endeavor to use such apt illustrations more often, to communicate my points. - Blessings, Reighnskye |
