Imagine one coming to the garage with the car to have it fixed and being asked what the trouble is, he says it is in the battery, while what he means is the radiator. When he means the generator he would just as soon say carburetor. When he means checking the tires he says checking the sparkplugs. He would not go on very far with that kind of speech before someone would think that he had escaped from the insane asylum. But in our religious parlance we can mix anything and everything and then wonder why we have so much confusion. And we take it a virtue to ignore the meaning of words used by the holy spirit to convey the divine thoughts.
