I really cannot seem to make any sense out of this. I
really don't think one can argue that the christians
used all the same definitions and nuances of some
common and inflexible stock of vocabulary words/lingo
of the 1st century. Christians today even understand
common words in a special sense, far exceeding their
usage among the people on the street. My neighbor is a
gracious man, but not in any sense that would resemble
God's CARIS, nor would my neighbor have any concept of
the fullness of God's grace.
