DHK: Or an entirely different meaning. Only the context can give the meaning. Words cannot be boxed in so easily in one's imaginary box of meanings.

HP: Here is yet another thing that some try to use to give credence to their private interpretations of Scripture, boxing in their own notions by their 'imaginary box of meanings': context. :thumbsup:

I will ask you again. This time answer me.
What is the meaning of the word "conversation" in Phil.3:20?
"Our conversation is in heaven."

DHK, what would it matter what I thought? If it disagreed with what you desire it to mean, according to you I might be called a heretic, acting in like manner to a cult, be taking something out of context, falsely using a dictionary to establish a meaning that only you can determine is correct, not understanding the GK tense of a verb, ...........and that is only the short list. :smilewinkgrin:

Read a modern translation. It probably won't disagree with what I believe. It will only demonstrate something about words and their definitions, something that I have been saying quite a bit in this thread that isn't sinking in.
