Universalist Understanding?

Detailed dictionaries go through a whole range of historical meaning. Origen's usage is important to understanding how the term was used by parts of the early church. That may or may not be a usage we want to accept.

LOL here is your quote
For someone who puts himself out there as the wise old owl of the bunch you really have a hard time with English words.
and now you look twice as bad because not only do you keep saying crap is not slang for nonsense, you post a dictionary meaning showing that it is slang for nonsense, showing you either did not read the whole dictionary meaning, so missed it or you are to proud to admit you made a mistake which everyone is now witness to.
As to the CF they, probably like you, were unaware of the usage of crap being slang for nonsense.
They are probably now aware and I have not been censored since for using it that way, probably because they now know you were in the wrong for complaining that I called what you wrote crap which was the same thing you said of when you called what I wrote was nonsense.
Your stubbornness on this issue is not doing you any favors DA, like I said at the beginning when this all took place and I pointed out to they meant the same thing you should have just said sorry I was unaware of that, but like the song says sorry seem to be the hardest word to say.

I have been mentored and my work has been evaluated by noted professors who had been teaching since before I was born. Your criticism is about as meaningful to me as the buzzing of a mosquito.

look at where it says 2 slang.... do you or do you not see the word nonsense there?

So again your repeated denial shows not just me but every reader reading that you have been shown your error but are simply to proud to admit it.

As I said you do yourself no favor because now everyone can see even when something is there that cannot be disputed you will not repent of your error.

This speaks very bad of you DA.
