Perhaps, “receive,” is a better descriptive, than “take.”
To put it completely, it is “willingly receive” (both backed up by the bible and proved out by empirical testing in the Christian walk) but again it’s possible to get so quibbly over synonyms one completely loses sight of what’s being discussed — and frankly, Heeler, that appears to loom as a danger in this very discussion. But I got to scoot now. I may look tomorrow again.
