@TacomanTxo66741@MarkGrote instead of consulting a contemporary english dictionary for an ancient greek text, here is Strong's lexicon: ἐπίσημος, "marked," "notable," "distinguished," or "illustrious." It conveys the idea of something or someone being marked out or distinguished in a particular way
@jkimballcook ridiculously complicated & contortionist, thanks to christian culture's propensity to invent rules & more rules. agree w/Jesus that treating people the way you want to be treated sums it all up. certainly not easy, but makes it simpler to be an honest christian if & human being.
@DavidEdgington@OmDaosha i'll explain again. the point is to justify your statements; you imply that she must submit even when he is leading them to their demise. you reinforce the patriarchal stereotype of insecure bravado vs. wise maturity when you respond like a rude child instead of an honest answer.
@DavidEdgington@OmDaosha i'll explain it to you, puddin'. based on what you said above, she must follow him off a cliff to their mutual destruction. if this is not how you see things, please provide more information so we can correctly understand you. laying off the insults would add to your credibility.
@WozzleBaby@DrSampler it's simply a sliding scale w/you always being in the right spot, just like anyone to the right or left of you in driving speed or politics are extreme idiots. putting others down is simply a poor-character way to sooth deep insecturities, fragile egos, & sense of lack of purpose
@Jen80092294@Lead_Protect seems very irreponsible to me. you give yourself a pass on critical thinking and responsible decision-making. these things are the domain of being an adult human being.
@DavidEdgington if it's a warzone it's because of adult males with arrested development who act like 6 year-olds brawling over someone crossing over the line in the car upholstery into their side of the seat.
