Joy, I understand that the purpose of the thread was to get Biblical light on the distinction: but in order to that, people have to be talking about the same distinction. The Bible doesn't use the terms "generic" and "specific" they're labels applied to something else. But it's going to be hard for someone to provide you with Bible to back up the distinction if you've already defined it in a way that they don't think is defensible from Scripture.

Vanities and disguises have covered us, and thereby we are naked; licenciousness hath inflam'd us, and thereby we are frozen; voluptuousness hath fed us, and thereby we are sterved, the fancies and traditions of men have taught and instructed us, and thereby we are ignorant.
John Donne
