If we go ahead and claim that "Just that within a particular language
at a particular
time words may have meanings that are uncancellable" where a
"particular language"
may indicate a specific sociolect -- "in the variety of English that I

namely that of the upper Midwest of the United States." What in this
case is the
particular language and time of the entire Bible?
