    You really think it wise to use these exmples?

    I make it a practice not to unnecessarily censor my source. Any complaints should be directed to the publisher Dictionary.com

    No complaints about your source...just don't see how it helps to soothe the animosity.

    Unfortunately I was focused on "5.
    decent; respectable: They gave him a good Christian burial.
    6.
    human; not brutal; humane: Such behavior isn't Christian.
    " and didn't think of how some might pick up other portions. There are parts of behavior of individuals on forums that I still have to stop and force myself to think about because they are so far from my daily experience outside the forums.

    Yes, I know you are on a higher spiritual plane. That's why I offered you another way to look at what you posted.

    More likely just older. Having been the youngest child or a youngest child I amazed at how young one can be and still have a grandson graduate from college.[*-)]

    The new, second part: Recently Logos has become something of a publisher. We create and sell Bible Study Magazine, the Lexham English Bible, HD Commentary, Evangelical Exegetical Commentary, and more. It’s fair to ask what theological perspective is behind these publications. And the answer is “Evangelical Christian.” Logos Bible Software is a member of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, and we subscribe to the Statement of Faith of the Association (http://www.ecpa.org/?page=about_ecpa).

    When Logos Bible Software is the publisher, you can expect that the work does not conflict with this statement of faith. In the future we may choose to publish works aligned with even more detailed statements of faith, in which case they will be clearly indicated.

    I wonder if Logos will not have to be at least a co-publisher of any new evangelical commentary sets for them to be viable.  It will be interesting to see how that plays out in the future. I expect that before the EEC set is complete, we will see a new commentary set on the way with different leanings.
