I agree that there can be multiple meanings across the realm of sacred literature. I am not as interested in the dictionary meaning as I am in the meaning of its particular use in scripture. I would be very easy to simply say that, since gentile, for example, as multiple meanings, I can ignore the message relating to that group in the scripture. There are specific promises and warnings to the Jews, gentiles and to the house of Israel in the scriptures. There are also messages about timing relative to the reception of the gospel. Each of us must choose where we want to spend our time. Right now, my original questions have particular interest to me. Given the well-seasoned gospel veterans on this list, I probably sound quite elementary. Sorry, sometimes for a slow learner like myself, I must take slow deliberate steps and build 'line upon line' Thanks for your insights, Noel Larry Jackson wrote: Gentile has several meanings. The dictionary meaning is anyone who is not a Jew. So when Jew and Gentile are spoken of, many members fall into the Gentile group. Gentile also is sometimes used to refer to those who are not members of the Church. So when Saint and Gentile are spoken of, members do not fall into the Gentile group. So sometimes members are gentiles, and sometimes they are not. Larry Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
