"Bogus"? Means counterfeit, sham???
.... No dunderhead. Bogus means, "false, not real or not legal" So for instance "On investigation, his claim was found to be bogus..." "She produced some bogus documents to support her application..." etc. So Mike's use to state that your interpretation of Romans 1 is false or bogus is quite correct! |
