Subject: Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? |
Bible Note: Dear Pilgrim, I have to agree with Hank. Honestly, we cannot rush into some kind of Orwellian "NewSpeak" every time we encounter ignorance. The Christian norm is to raise the knowledge of the hearer to the point of understanding. The profundity of what we teach only seems to be easier in one age or another. I daresay that the phrase you regard as "pregnant with meaning" also had many, many other utterly unintended and undesired connotations for the very same historical reasons. Consequently, even in the first century you'd end up with the same kind of task. We may, occasionally leverage aspects of the culture to benefit in our instruction. But the truth of who Jesus is and His sovereignty is an important and deep subject. There appears to be no substitute for continuous, calm, cerebrative, careful and clear instruction if any of us are to understand these divine notions that are so alien to our cultures. In Him, Doc |
