Amazing, the invisible church just got, not only spotted, but a mailing address.

Also, notice that, even though these same people are all a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2 in context, remember), some of them still haven’t converted….
No comment on the use of Greek lexicons.
So, that was, uh, pretty boring. The music was dramatic, though!
Well, there went 10 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. I was hoping from the title that the video would be more interesting and say something really whacky. Like that the invisible church was located in Rome or something.
Hey, sorry. I didn’t bother to listen to the whole thing. It was the first use of “context” that I thought was amazing.
My question is why anyone thought that video would enhance the point being made here (such as it is.) Does video actually make a picture of a Bible, a guy talking, and seeing what’s on his laptop screen, more engaging? It’s also an interesting use of “technology as authority.” It’s not just the use of lexicons that does this, it’s the “when you click on this, you get this…”; the authority of the Great Screen. It’s very odd.
Wow! Just grab a lexicon and find the definition that squares best with your particular point of view. Gee, I never knew that lexical semantics was so easy.
Not just any lexicon will do though. One must make sure that it is the Lexicon, namely, Strong’s Concordance–the universal standard for biblical lexicography.
