Subject: How do we understand these words? |
Bible Note: My brother, I will try to give a soft response. The truth is, the question as asked is one of the most important in my mind. I am not surprised that it sounds like a speech. There are some time when I wonder the same thing about the questions that are put by the journalists to the politicians. They can be wordy. I have learned that questions are a good way to learn; maybe the best way. But the questioner must first reveal what he knows and where he is in his understanding. That way the person answering can know what he is adding to. He does not have to assume complete ignorance. This is the truth that I tell you and I trust you can tolerate it. |
