Speaking paraphrastically is often done in an attempt to clearify. Unfortunately, what happens many times is that the object of discourse becomes an afocussed target. Often used by magicians, brightlights and flashes cause vision problems making presdigitation easier. Rather than the lighting making the object clearer, it actually blurs.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, [...]

The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.
Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.
The Greek word epithymeo connotes more than a passing notion, or a fleeting infatuation. It is the idea of an all consumming passion, one [...]

From the 17th Article of the Canons:
The Salvation of the Infants of Believers

“We all get together to worship the same God,” the Rev. Bob Garrard, pastor at First Presbyterian, said.
No Bob, we don’t. You worship a god who opposes himself. God is Truth, not the compromise between oppositional beliefs. What you represent is not what is meant by Biblical reconcilliation. And the Jesus you believe in is [...]

I dare say, that, in such an auditory as this, a number of Arminians are present. I fear, that all our public assemblies have too many of them. Perhaps, however, even these people, idolaters as they are, may be apt to blame, and, indeed, with justice, the absurdity of those who worship idols of silver [...]

Tim Challies has written in Outgrowing the Need for Grace:
Whenever I consider Solomon, I am faced with the question of how a man of such great wisdom and discernment could end his life so far from the Lord.
