When I was in first grade, we had three reading groups. Group one used a yellow book; group two a red book. The third group (the slow readers) read out of the green book. In second grade, where there once had been a third group, we now had the Blue Jays. I am not sure if it felt better to go forward when the Blue Jays were called. Everyone still realized they were the bottom group by seeing who was in the group and by listening to them read out loud. These students could not read any more improved, but they were no longer in the third group. They were now Blue Jays.
Then janitors transformed into custodians, and custodians became to sanitation engineers. I think they are back to custodians. Teachers aids became teachers assistance and secretaries lost their jobs to become administrative assistances. We figured out that the title Miss might seem belitting because it announced to the world that she was not married, while Mr. gave no such information about a man. So we substituted Ms. for all women, but it somehow did not catch on for married ladies. So Miss is now in some circles Ms. It appears to me that all is absent were two letters (is) and the decision of whether this is important depends on what your thoughts of is - is.
We as a group determined that it is not proper to keep individuals in mental asylums. So we closed the asylums and we now refer to many of these same individuals as homeless.
The Lord makes His request very clear when it comes to His command concerning the widows and orphans. But we do not have an orphan problem. We dealt with the orphan problem. Someone perceived all the orphans and renamed them foster care kids. If there were orphans it would be the churches responsibility out of basic obedience, to embrace them. But what orphans? When was the last time you saw an orphanage?
The various ways that we conquer (conceal the problems of societies with language goes on and on. I am sure you have considered a few as you read. But my point is simply this. God gave the orphan to His Church, to love and care for. Adjusting the name does not change the command, and; while we can mislead oneself and each other, we cannot, and are not, misleading God. God knows that what is - is - no matter what we call it.
