Yet that person knows betterYes as I’ve seen a person who using a lexicon without context from scripture to back it up hence cherry picking . Good sound advice above ?
Lexicons are useful, but when a word has a variety of meanings depending on context, it takes study to determine how to apply the lexicon to the verse at hand.Yes as I’ve seen a person who using a lexicon without context from scripture to back it up hence cherry picking . Good sound advice above ?
That is absolutely trueLexicons are useful, but when a word has a variety of meanings depending on context, it takes study to determine how to apply the lexicon to the verse at hand.
One discussion I saw here was about the word "Draw" and that it has a literal and figurative usage.
A literal use of the word is like drawing a wagon to town
A figurative use is like drawing a moth to a flame
I saw a poster, acting as an expert, but refusing to acknowledge this difference
Yes and obviously, when we are drawn by the Spirit, we are not literally, physically moved thru space.That is absolutely true
a number of lexicons note this figurative use

Only in Calvinists imaginationYou might find this interesting.
The word "foreknowledge" has two meanings. It is a term used in theology to denote the prescience or foresight of God, that is, His knowledge of the entire course of events which are future from the human point of view; and it is also used in the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) to translate the Greek words proginoskein and prognosis in the New Testament, in which instances the word "fore-knowledge" approaches closely the idea of fore-ordination.
