I truly don't mean what you think I mean. Without meaning there are
only words (including God's Words). Even with God's Spirit we all
demonstrate a remarkable capacity to circumvent His Meaning.
 
jt: A couple more thoughts on the above statement. Who do you
think it is who 'circumvents' God's meaning? Who is it who put his
own spin on Matt 4:6? (compare with the original in Ps 91:11,12) 
 
And, without meaning there is no communication just an exchange
of words.
 
jt: Right but scripture teaches "there are, it may be, so many kinds of
voices in the world and none of them is without signification; therefore
if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh
a barbarian and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me., even so
ye forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts seek that ye may excel
to the edifying of the Church" (1 Cor 14:10) and Paul goes on to say
that it is not good to speak in tongues at Church because noone knows
what the person is saying except God.
 
Same with complicated extra Biblical doctrines; if you can't show what
you are saying clearly by scripture then you are as a "trumpet with an
uncertain sound"
