RE: “For when the pastor says, ‘Depart in peace,’ He is not saying….”

So strain out a gnat and swallow a camel.

If the vast majority of your audience continues to misunderstand you, perhaps you could speak more plainly? Isn't clear communication key? To what degree must the language in a worship service be encoded in a language that only a trained cleric grasps? Are the mysteries of God so inadequate that we need to add mysteries of our own making? And “how can anyone in the position of an outsider say ‘Amen’ to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying?” (1 Cor. 14:16 ESV)

Furthermore, which prayer does God hear: That which actually comes from the mind of the one praying, or that which would come from the mind of the one praying if only he had the correct and complete understanding of the words he was using?

Thank God that to convey all our feeble prayers “the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” (Romans 8:26 ESV)
