Subject: "Sons" of perdition? |
Bible Note: Love Fountain, please permit me one more attempt to communicate on what has apparently become a question of semantics. For the moment, try to erase any Greek words from your mind and rivet your full attention to English. I am going to try using an illustration based on the little English word 'out.' Picture 'out' in your mind. What does it mean to you? Try to define it before reading further.....Now I will use the word in two separate sentences. (1) John was so terrified that he jumped OUT the window. (2) The grocer was OUT of coffee...... Now, it's time for a pop quiz: Does the word 'out' have exactly the same meaning in both sentences? (Hint: The answer is either yes or no)..... Application: Whether the language be Hebrew, Greek, English or Pig Latin, the meaning of words is highly dependent upon how they are used in a sentence. --Hank |
