TJ, here is an example of looking into a concordance and quoting a verse which "
neither supports nor refutes the point proffered." What does "fair and balanced" have to do with a "false balance?" Obviously, my phrase "fair and balanced," in the context of Solomon's retail exchange, is the same as a "
just weight," which is "
His delight."
No offense to
Timotheist, maybe he was supporting my point, I don't know.
Long ago I became disgusted with the practice of "verse wars." They were played too often. I just have not seen any scripture which provides the sweeping judgment of idolatry upon all who ever sat in a LC meeting. The scripture I have seen required huge stretches of inference.
Toledo said it well here, "
Rather that calling it idolatry is forcing a definition that simply does not fit. As much as Cinderella's step-sisters tried, they could not get their feet into Prince Charming's glass slipper."
