<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Notice the verses, supra, are describing something in general (home), and then get more specific (which is in a house, which is in a city). A house and a city are not synonymous; a house is <U>in</U> a city. Likewise, a home is not a house; it is something general <U>inside</U> the house. Also, in <U>The Scripture</U> and/or <U>The King James Bible</U>, the word "house" is always preceded by a pronoun, which is possessive (i.e. <U>his</U> house, <U>my</U> house, <U>the</U> house, <U>thine</U> house, <U>father's</U> house, <U>brother's</U> house, etc.), whereas the word 'home' is <U>never</U> preceded by these terms.<o></o></SPAN>

Because a car and a house are something specific (physical), which belong to someone, whereas a 'home' is something in general (spiritual), and does not belong to anyone specifically. This is why 'home' is never preceded with a word that designates it as someone's personal property or possession.<o></o></SPAN>
