Thanks for the comment, Sophia. I agree. It is not that I want to be deliberately offensive to the world, but we only serve to confuse them by adopting their terminology and style of speaking (not to mention confusing Christians who are watching). We would do better to simply speak like the Bible speaks and trust the Holy Spirit to bring about change in hearts.

We can never fully appease those who do not understand us or who are not willing to completely forgive past wrongs when they are redressed. We can only move forward handling future decisions as Biblically as possible. Going overboard to seek the world’s approval will have us seeking approval from the wrong source.

It was aimed in that direction.
