Hey - I don't really mind someone using whatever words they want. The Scriptures explain that we are not to argue over semantics. Also, for the most part I appreciate the point behind the prior thread, where lack of harmony (dissonance) often makes church a place we don't want to go to. Is that the people there often seem fake:
I have a bachelor's degree, and so have been around some people that like to use a variety of words in their personal vocabulary. It's all fine, but I have also seen where people like to use their vocabulary as a way of puffing themselves up (being fake). For example let me compare two professors I had - one had his doctorate in political science and he started off the first class boasting about his degree and vocabulary, and said some of the most ridiculous things - like he was telling the class that democracy means death and if anyone wanted to challenge him he would gladly demean them. I dropped that class asap, and was the only class I dropped in my four years there. No use learning from someone like him. On the other hand I had an English class (and I was always a math person instead of an language person) who really impressed me. He started off by explaining that the purpose of language, any language, was to facilitate communication. He explained that while he had his doctorate (just like the political science professor) he did not want people calling him 'Doctor' because 'Doctor' in our language is typically used to mean a medical doctor. So to use it for him is to cause confusion not clarity. Now he was that smart man, not the political science profess who was interested in puffing himself up.
On that same line - when I listen to the Lord He (though being God is on a whole different level of intelligence that us mere people) almost never uses larger words. In fact the genius of the Lord is more in who wonderfully he puts together very simple words to mean so much, and not in using words that tend to puff Himself up. He indeed tends to come across like He comes across in the Bible, with little sayings and parables and not by trying to impress me with His personal vocabulary.
For example consider this saying by Jesus:
Mat 12:36,37 But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
It is a pretty easy bit of writing to read, but what an incredibly deep meaning!
And when He talks to me personally, He never seems to use difficult words but provides saying that get me thinking. Like this saying He gave me:
PRIDE IS A SPIRIT THAT TELLS YOU “YOU’RE DOING GREAT”, AND YOU CAN GET INTO THAT SPIRIT, SO TO SPEAK. CONFIDENCE COMES FROM A SPIRIT THAT SAYS “YOU’RE DOING GOOD”, AND YOU CAN GET INTO THAT SPIRIT, SO TO SPEAK.” SO, ARE YOU TRYING TO DO GOOD, OR ARE YOU TRYING TO BE GREAT? WHAT DO YOU HEAR BEFORE YOU SPEAK?
When we speak we don't need to try to sound "Great" we just need to try and do good.
