On 09/18/10, Jeff Snyder quoted Daryl Stout: Verses - I Will Bring Evi.
I use this verse to show people that the people were so banal in all ways...never mind being against The Lord.
The daughter of the preacher who married my late wife and myself, told of atime where she "got in trouble" for using the word "pisseth"...she thought because it was in the Bible, she'd be OK.
Along the idea of "corrupted words", the term "piddling" is slang for urinating. I never thought the word "gay"...which originally meant "happy" or "cheerful" would come to the connotation of "homosexual".
I think it is safe to say that quite often, the people of the world hold us Christians to a higher moral standard than we sometimes do ourselves. So
many unbelievers are just waiting and trying to find a flaw or a weakness in our personal character, so that they can use one of their favorite words against us: Hypocrite!
Of course, the reason why they do that, is because in their twisted
spiritual blindness and confusion, they seem to think that by exposing our sins, it justifies their own sinful, ungodly behavior.
In other words, they can't discredit the message -- that is, the words of
God -- so they try to discredit the messenger, and they try to find flaws in the Bible.
Over the years, I've had a number of Bible hecklers use verses such as the above, to try to shock me; as if I didn't know those verses were in there.
Ha! They ought to read my series "My God Is A Shocker!". The series shares
some of the unusual stories in the Bible, and some of the unusual and quite unorthodox -- not politically correct -- things that the Lord required His servants and Prophets to do, in order to make a certain point, such as the Prophet Hosea marrying a prostitute.
