Sometimes people try to move passed a point in an argument by saying "Oh we're just arguing semantics." But semantics are everything. If we can't communicate what we ACTUALLY mean when we speak, then we can't have a real conversation about anything. The words reflect the substance. The words we use are CRUCIAL if we want what we say to have meaning. What do you think? This is inspired from reading chapter 4 of This Hallelujah Banquet by Eugene Peterson.
