How are we pronouncing Live in the L 10 "Live in the Word". Is it used as a verb or an adjective? I can't figure out the golf thing either.Sad

    Is it used as a verb or an adjective?

    In my syntax you need to specify the morphology system used to make that determination [8-|]

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Do we as Forum users get to do that or is that FL's responsibility?

    Just musing but isn't 'live' (the adjective) just one of those lazy contractions of 'alive'?

    The only use of the word as an adjective that pops into mind is in the case of a 'live performance'.

    In the absence of any context I would plump for the verb.

    This is precisely why I think it's an adjective though. An adjective would sound more like a play on words for marketing some new major feature in Logos.
