English! Oh, that's my problem, I've been reading the oldest extant versions of the Holy Scriptures, the ones in Greek. Gee, isn't it wonderful God corrected those errors when the Bible got translated into English. Fancy that He didn't mean eidolon or homoioma, he meant eikon, which are all radically distinct notions in Greek, and finally got it straightened out when it was translated into English. Gee, we're so lucky to be living now. All those supposely holy folk before the 1600's are damned because they based they're doctrines on a faulty text. /sarcasm

English, the language in which we are communicating. The language which you feel free to butcher retro to your butchery of word use in greek and hebrew. Or, praytell, would you wish to make the argument that we are conversing in Aramaic and no one realized it but you in the midst of all the confusion - what with Catholic answers firing salvos on it's own beliefs and all.. LOL.
