Most of the time they know exactly what they're saying and speaking about most are well educated and take seriously their calling. This is why I said a mistake was possibly made. I wanted to open up the possibility of a discussion on what was really said, not one where people call others idiots. I could have done that from the start but where would that have gotten the subject. Guess I should have known that name calling would be the result anyway, it seems that's the typical response here.I sat for a hundred or so sermons by this local Pentecostal preacher ( an ailing family member wanted company). He was always going on about the "fields of corn" as in 2Chronicles 31:5.

He would yell and stomp about how wonderful it must have been to walk through the 7ft tall stalks of corn and see those ears bursting with plump kernels. Obviously he did not know that Maize is a New World crop and corn and old English word for grain. Does this make him an idiot? Yes, for two reasons....
One : He is the same age as me. I was taught this fact in elementary school. He was too busy talking to the Holy Ghost to pay attention in school.
Two : His claim and that of his sheepish flock is that he has an "anointment" to preach. If your authority to preach comes from a higher power you have a larger duty to be accurate. He is an idiot.
Isaac and Esau had corn in Genesis 27:28 (KJV) = "27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed:
28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee."
Maybe they were in Mexico?
