The redundant charge is a defense mechanism to self-justify dismissing the ideas rather than engage in "one another" function on these truths. Some idioms come to mind that are commonly used to deprecate ideas that challenge status quo.<br />Ax to grind<br />one-trick pony<br />beating a dead horse<br /><br />When humans have a sense of entitlement to their ministry pay check or their weekly Bible lecture feeding, there a great weakness to despise rather than interact and learn. They have heard or given 50 sermons on prayer or witnessing and don't care about that, even when their prayer life and witness life are almost non-existent. <br /><br />I think you do an excellent job in spurring believers on to love and good works in one another dynamic in a broad spectrum of truth areas. Compared to other blogs by men with titles, offices, and a pay check for institutional maintenance, your responsiveness to those who write is far above par. Most will never respond in any way. For many their only response is to delete the posting. You are an excellent example to the rest of us. It is clearly driven by faith.

Or,<br /><br />Redundant = Repetition of same sense in different words.<br /><br />As long as one has a clear view of where one is headed, a very sound principle of teaching.<br /><br />Maybe someone doesn't understand "redundant" because the third definition means "reached use by date".<br /><br />Aussie Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199918171163666399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-46496307534212020292015-10-20T21:01:48.791-04:002015-10-20T21:01:48.791-04:00Thanks gentlemen.
