Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Some movies yield many memorable lines.
Crash, Eddie: Were you killed?
Buck: Sadly, yes. — But I lived!
Sometimes I start to wonder if we even know what we’re saying anymore.
But let’s clarify.
I think Andrew meant unorthodox as in unusual or breaking with convention, rather than unorthodox as in a doctrine at variance with the officially recognized position. But I could be wrong. I do know that we’re losing our grip on the meaning of the word “marriage” — not for talk of extending it (or not) to gay and lesbian unions, but for talk of whether it represents a spiritual or a legal union and whether it’s a contract or a covenant and what technicalities facilitate their binding constitution or allowable dissolution.
I realized embarassingly late in the game that today is Valentine’s day, so today’s post, which was mostly composed yesterday will appear tomorrow, by which time it hopefully won’t be decomposed. It’s about the Ephesians 4 fivefold ministries, as a precursor to further discussion on apostles, apostolic authority, the shepherding movement, and hierarchical leadership structures. At least that’s where I think it’s going.
