Rex isn't even attempting to apply meaning to words. Everything is fluid to Rex, words have no specific meaning, nor do the sentences he builds out of his fluid words.
Rex doesn't communicate in rigid concepts, he tries to convey some form of emotional context in fuzzy form. I think that he actually *thinks* this way as well. Rex must live in a very interesting world full of flights of fancy and endless mysteries which he doesn't really want to make sense of. A completely alien world to me. I don't know how to exist that way.
I'm just not sure how he survives the daily grind of making money, balancing a checkbook and choosing a Dr. (who isn't a witch doctor).
My meaning starts at the actual Biblical words which I believe are holy and "God" inspired. I superimpose these Biblical WORDS onto life. I do not let life impose its own meanings and disregard the actual pure given words.
A firm "foundation" means to me that I can back up my faith BIBLICALLY with CLEAR words/verses/context that are also corroborated in MANY other places/ways in the Bible so I am absolutely certain that my position is the Bible's actual intended meaning.
I have found doctrinal results in this approach. I have seen thousands of heavily debated contradictions vanish using this approach. Such that my theology has been able to go beyond the queries of men like Martin Luther and the catholic theists because I have taken their directives and followed through on them.
NOW when I read the Bible the words are evident rather than cryptic and steeped in culture. Because I have found the cultural "keys and sign posts" to unlock the text. These are very rare/obscure scriptures that if you just give them a little thought they put into position large areas of understanding. But they need to click or the perspective is not even seen. This is where haughty arrogance can be the stumbling block in these very instances.
Given all of this, it is no wonder we do not speak the same language. This does not mean that I do not use terms consistently and definitively. (Set would certainly catch me on that.) This just means I have a different meaning for many basic words. Words like grace and love (agape) to me have very "extensive definitive" meanings that are rooted in MANY Biblical verses that specifically define them and lock their meanings into place.
These same definitions are inherently non-evident in our modern secular "culture". This is why the Bible is a handbook for terms and for the alignment of a wealth of knowledge that transcends the physiology and philosophy of all ages and sages. Because it is God's wisdom not our own, and "God knows"...
Like just the six words (God's terms) body soul spirit and formed made created aptly define the universe.
For instance some alter/confuse and say, "body, soul, and mind" if you can perceive, this breaks the architecture where the meaning (Biblically) of body, soul(life), and spirit is completely lost. So this is why terms must have definitive meaning and not be substituted or used interchangeably with out careful consideration FIRST.
The fluidity that you sense is the fluidity innate within the Biblical truths when they are perceived (rightly divided) and believed.
