- There cannot be the slightest doubt in the mind of any reflecting
- person but that a much greater amount of error in reference to the truths
- of the Word of God arises from simple ignorance or inattention than from
- any other worse cause whatever. Words, in the course of time, lose their
- original meaning, and acquire a conventional one very often considerably
- different, and which, from constant use, becomes little more than the
- shibboleth of a party. Very many are accustomed to use Scripture
- language without at all being able to understand its real meaning, and
- thus they are rather injured than benefited by their familiarity with
- Scripture phraseology. - Robert Young
