TRUE STORY... I was preaching once on "But GOD!"... a number of places where there were bad things happened, or were about to happen, "But GOD...." intervened, etc....
After giving several examples, I got to Acts 13:29 - And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre
- and I paused, letting that hang in the air a minute.
Then I smiled, and asked, "do you smell a 'but' coming?" Right away, I realized what I had said, so I rushed on, but couldn't help but notice my wife and daughter in the second pew giggling under their breaths.
I would never have PLANNED on using that phrase in a sermon, but it happened.

I don't see that my suggestion was in anyway different from that - beyond the obvious in terms of who is made to feel uncomfortable by the use of the word.

You actually think DeSantis PLANNED on making people feel uncomfortable?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The radical left are simply radically dishonest. The people who follow them are being stupid in following there wrong headed arguments.. . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV
. . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . -- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . . -- 1 John 5:1 KJV

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostThis conversation got me thinking. So here is my suggestion. Since you want to hit out at stupid misunderstandings or misappropriations of words especially as they relate to 'liberal' causes, why don't each of you when you are feeling happy say:
"I'm feeling gay today"
I think that would be a really great addition to your campaign.
Or are you only interested in the challenge when you can offend someone else, as opposed to draw the attention over the misused word to yourselves?

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostThis thread is the Etymology thread where the focus was initially on the word "niggardly". A comment was made about intent to go use the word more or less just to ruffle feathers. And a few more comments made lamenting being unable to use the word safely for fear of 'irrational' consequences. That is the line of thought my comment was addressing. I was not saying anything about DeSantis' intent.

This particular word is probably in the process of evaporating from the English language overnight, sort of like how Gaylord and Adolf suddenly stopped being used as first names."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
