What Does THAT Mean
??
There are lots of words that Christians use for describing what the Bible
means to them, their teachings, their faith, and the Christian way(s) of
life. They're often found in statements of faith and debates about the Bible. Some of these terms are badly abused, others aren't used anywhere near enough, and a few words are being offered here as alternatives to the usual terms. They're all used in such a way that anyone who didn't have a drill sergeant for a Sunday School teacher would find it hopeless to
understand. So, here I go, trying to succeed where others have
failed for 2000 years, to slay the Fire-Breathing Jargon.
The purpose of each definition is that you come to understand a deeper meaning for the word when you hear it or see it used, and when you use them yourself. try this: look at the terms below. Maybe you see one and say, "why would they say that about the Bible?" Or, "what is ...?" Or, maybe "yeah, right..." or "whatever...". Click on it and see; the word may not mean quite what you think. You might even already think this about the Bible but didn't have a word for it. Please give it a try.
