[QUOTE="Halbhh, post: 75046986, member: 375234"] Just because sometimes people have a word learned only by usage somewhere, and can have an odd idea of what it means, as a courtesy, I'll give the precise meaning of "progression", the way I use it above: [I]Progression --[/I] the process of developing or moving gradually towards a more advanced state. [COLOR=#000000][URL='http://english.oxforddictionaries.com/progression']--Oxford Languages[/URL] So, of course when I say something is a "step" (I'll quote that very post you responded to below)[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)], and part a "progression", and of course, by definition, I'm not cherry picking... heh heh[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] So....who's cherry picking then? It seems your preferred (cherry picked?? heh heh) scholar [I]didn't [/I]read the entirety of all the Old Testament carefully enough to learn for instance that God was progressively, in a progression, step by step, restricting and reducing slavery, in incremental steps, to finally begin to deal the fatal blows to slavery when Christ came (or that is for those that believe in Him enough to truly listen to Him and do as He says, which He said would be "few" in the very next 2 verses after Matthew 7:12) [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
