Who gets to determine what the “right” definition is?
I used the definition you provided. I also use the definition provided by Scripture.
***Well, since the moderator determined that some of what you said was antagonistic, and I’m the one who started this thread, I’ll posit that I’m the one who determines what the “right” definition is. If you don’t agree with that, start your own thread with your own definition. Your penchant for loaded definitions is contrary to the stated goals of an ecumenical thread. Also, since you claim to be willing to use the definition I provide, then use the definition I provide. Stubborn clinging to loaded definitions is the sign of a disruptor.
Faith: belief without proof.

Is the Biblical definition also a loaded definition?
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Is there a standard theological definition of “Scientism”?
