Usage of colon
0 Hi, 02 br

00 I think th colon functions to clarify, define, or emphasizing the opening of the sentence. Do you the following sentences from the article named 01 i 00 Picture Christ 02 i 00 in the Christiantoday magazine are showing the correct usage when they seem to clarify only some parts of the opening sentences. 02 br

00 How de we banish these devilish images adn see only grace? Luther exhorts us to contemplate the image that saves: Jesus Christ, who "overcame death with life." -- the clause that follows seems to only illuminate/clairty the image that saves (i.e. Jesus Christ). 02 br

00 Again Luther admonished us not to deny our sinfulness, but to contemplate it during our lifetimes, as is taught in Psalm 51:3: "My sin is ever before me." -- again, the clause that follows seems to define only what Psalm 51:3 is or says and not deal with the overall context. 0-
