"(As) the door turneth upon his hinges, so [doth] the slothful upon his bed." Proverbs 26:14This is an example of hyperbole. Hyperbolic statements are intentional exaggerations (Greek = "throwing beyond") intended to make a point without being taken literally. Turning back and forth on his bed, the lazy man is like a swinging door. He moves around but gets nowhere.
κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως. The underlying meaning of this blog is this: the essential unity of Christians worldwide regardless of race, nationality, or religious denomination. There are real disagreements among us but there is a small remnant in every authentically Christian gathering. The Holy Spirit is leading His remnant into deeper understandings of the "meat" of the Gospel and not just the "milk."
