Ken, I'm not sure what
Ken, I’m not sure what you’re referring to here. The original post? The thread has got so long that it’s difficult to work out what the comment is attached to.
In any case, what’s the point of your complaint? Why would you expect Jesus to understand it? Jesus was a first century Palestinian Jew who lacked the dubious benefits of a modern western education and the particular perspective that that affords on the world. On the other hand, if you’re saying that God couldn’t understand it….
And presumably no one is writing here with the ‘unsaved’ man in the street in mind, though it’s worth thinking about. The gap between our internal discourse and our external discourse is probably too large. But it’s not unusual for people to speak in different ways, with varying degrees of technicality, according to their audience.
So why not simply ask whether the average reader of this website understands it?
