Subject: Where is "accept Christ" in the Bible? |
Bible Note: 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. |
