Bible Note: Greetings Searcher! I had no idea about the meaning of these words. What should our response be to those who are ignorant? Shouldn't we endeavor to correct (teach) with love and respect? (Gal 6:1) WHEN we KNOW the "real meaning" of these offending words, then we ARE accountable. Thanks for the english lesson :) mommapbs |
