The fact is that only a true master of the material can explain it without the jargon. This needs more attention in seminary preaching classes. |
Lane: this is perfect. You should print this comment somehwere for all to see just as you have it.
The other reason is because the average layperson likes a pastor to sound 'more educated''. SOme people like a Gospel they cannot understand as if it contains so many intricacies that faith by proxy is the norm in so many churches rc and protty alike.
The holy Spirit will have none of this 'scholarship' The thermometer creates some algorithm that sounds so important that the plowman has no clue, but thinks this is what they should believe. Throw in a little greek , hebrew or latin, and you have them in the palm of your hand. Then one wonders why the Lord is not adding to the body.
Repent and believe the Good News, that's what the Holy Spirit says.
