Hey, it's an easy slio of the fingers, and easy to due.

Now, we need to discuss what is salvation. I've stored on disk a post
which discusses six def'n of the word "saved". Means different things
to different people. Amazing, that we can communicate at all, when
words mean such different things. You've likely seen the email that
makes the rounds, how the English and American military can't
communicate. Like on aircraft carrier, if an American plane is down,
it's broken. English plane is down, it's under deck, in storage.


I agree. Consider the word "prophet." In the Jewish world, a prophet
(sometimes spelled "profit") is one who predicts what might happen. Further,
all prophecy is conditional - it may or may not happen. The prime example of
this is when a whale burped up a bleached Johnah who prophesied "Repent, or
in forty days... I don't even want to think about it!" The people of Nineveh
straightened up and everybody lived happily ever after.

In the Christian tradition, a prophet is a soothsayer, one who asserts that
a future event will take place and all your king's horses and all your
king's men can't do anything about it!
