Calm Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Wow! That is a weird interpretation of 1 Cor 6......So if I said, "Don't ye know that ye are handsome?" that would mean "communally" handsome, and not "individually" handsome? Notice what he actually says: But in 1 Cor 3:16-17 it's the church collectively (ye) not the individual.He is not referring to 1 Cor 6 when he is discussing the communal "ye".
zerinus Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Amen to his priesthood... The Hebrew meaning of amen is the exact opposite of Joseph's colloquial English usage.So what? In every language many words are used with more than one meaning attached to them. Just because a word can have one meaning, that does not mean that it should not be used with another meaning that is commonly given to it. That is a pretty banal objection to raise.

That is a pretty banal objection to raise.We are talking about term slippage. I provided a fairly drastic example. Amen is an affirmation, not a farewell as Joseph was using it.
consiglieri Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Amen to his priesthood... The Hebrew meaning of amen is the exact opposite of Joseph's colloquial English usage.President Monson said this twice in priesthood session and, although I gave him high marks for his delivery, I couldn't help but translate it in my head as "let it be so." All the Best!--Consiglieri

All the Best!--ConsiglieriWhy do you think I brought it up? Priesthood session had some other good examples, such as the one about the deacons' quorom president. The speaker applied the verse in Joel regarding young men seeing visions. Joel's usage means that young men will see visions. Not an abstract term, but actual visual revelations. The speaker used it abstractedly, to mean that the boy was developing a grand goal and plan of action for his tenure as president. Not to say that I didn't find the talk inspiring, because I did.
