How is sincere the same as "unmixed, unadulterated, or pure?"Originally posted by QuickeningSpirit:
Salvation is the theme of I Peter, the main subject of 2:2 is growth, then we have what causes and promotes that growth it is the sincere milk of the word:
97 adolov adolos ad’-ol-os
from 1 (as a negative particle), and 1388; ; adj
AV-sincere 1; 1
1) guileless
1a) in things: unmixed, unadulterated, pure
1b) in persons: without dishonest intent, guileless
Uh, gb, Have you missed something in the defintion of sincere?
Man you'd argue with a telephone pole! You argue the semantics of "dakruo" and then turn and deny "adolov"!How is sincere the same as "unmixed, unadulterated, or pure?"
One can be sincerwely wrong or sincerely right. But pure is always unadulterated. The right thing is never wrong. Sincere is not a good choice og words for 2004.Originally posted by QuickeningSpirit:
Since you'd let this world destroy the meaning of sincerety, then that would account for why we MUST get back to the Bible and separate from the world.
Since when is "sincere" anything less than pure, unmixed, unadulterated? Of course in a world full of adultry, I can see it's demise on the coming horizon.
Sincere not pure? HAH!
Thanks for the lesson. That was an excellent illustration.Originally posted by Dr. Bob Griffin:
"sincere" is Latin. Means "without wax". It was stamped on sale of marble statues.
Evidently, unscrupulous sales people would fill cracks in statuary with wax so it would LOOK pure and unadulterated. Then, when sitting in the heat of the sun in your garden, the wax would melt and show the flaws.
We have the logical milk that is to be "without wax" - it will stand up to the "heat" of battle, as it does in our discussions.
No wax here, sincere, yes, wax, no.sincere" is Latin. Means "without wax". It was stamped on sale of marble statues.

I Corinthians 5:9-10. Paul told us NOT to separate ourselves from immoral people who don't know Christ. He did tell us to separate ourselves from those who claim Christ but are continuing in immorality. Jesus, through his life, taught the same thing.Originally posted by QuickeningSpirit:

Yes,l I do, I am gay. But then I ask them to define the word "gay". 99% of them say homosexuals are gays. About 1% catches on and says, "Oh, you know what I mean". I say, "No, I don't know what you mean, are you implying I am a sodomite?" No. "Then I am gay, I'm glad to be saved!" I go on to explain to them what the word really means and how this world perverts everything.Do you tell people you are a gay man when you are happy without any further explanation. If not then you have done the very thing you write against.
No, but I have gone to sports bars to watch the Miami Dolphins play. I often find plenty of people who need someone to listen to them and offer them the love of Christ. I've never been to Amsterdam, but it seems like it'd be an amazing mission field.Originally posted by QuickeningSpirit:
Scott, was that you I saw in the red light district in Amsterdam peeping in the plate glass?
Why run away from the mission field where God has called us?Maybe you separate from that area of immorality and not be associated with them, unless of course you had a Bible in your hand.
Not starting a debate, just noting that Paul nor Christ followed the type of separation that you mentioned.I really can't believe you'd use that verse in the effort to start a debate over separation.
And how in the world does language come into play there. Is the natural change of language somehow antiChrist?No, we are not separate from sinners neither should we be, but we are to be ecclesiastically separated from the world and it's anti-christ attitudes.
I'm so proud of you! really. I don't have that kind of liberty to sit in a sports bar watching a football game. I was in that atmosphere for too long, it's not my area to go, the Lord has me elsewhere, but good for you. hope everything is in order, God's order,No, but I have gone to sports bars to watch the Miami Dolphins play. I often find plenty of people who need someone to listen to them and offer them the love of Christ. I've never been to Amsterdam, but it seems like it'd be an amazing mission field.
Who said I was? I'm right in the middle of the mission field, it's where the Lord has said the fields are already white unto harvest. I am running to the field, not from.Why run away from the mission field where God has called us?
Not starting a debate in a debate forum? Yeah, right.Not starting a debate, just noting that Paul nor Christ followed the type of separation that you mentioned.
When you change the meanings of words, even though the world makes use of the changed words, it is a matter of the slang usage that accomplishes this. To look back to words and diminsh their meaning and to call them archaic is a deviation from truth. Anything that deviates from truth is anti-christ, Christ is the Truth. Slang is not natural, it is the offspring of illiteracy. Illiteracy is bathed in ignorance. It is ignorance of the meanings of words that leads to deception on the behalf of the more learned and practiced at the art of deception. If you want us to give up what is more pure and certain for that which is less understood, tough, we're not going to budge.And how in the world does language come into play there.

Please, we don't need a dissertation on the evolution of language here. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Languages change or die.To look back to words and diminsh their meaning and to call them archaic is a deviation from truth. Anything that deviates from truth is anti-christ, Christ is the Truth.
