How can it be a definition if it is not biblical???

Here’s a quote from the Barnabas, an early Christian who wrote this after the destruction of the Temple but probably before the Bar Kochba rebellion, roughly 70-130 AD

In Chapter 19 he writes:

“Thou shalt not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again, shalt thou destroy it after it is born. Thou shalt not withdraw thy hand from thy son, or from thy daughter, but from their infancy thou shalt teach them the fear of the Lord.(252)”

How does that strike you?

Again, great quote. No wet infants other than diapers (presumably)

“How can it be a definition if it is not biblical???”

A definition can be Biblical. That is different than a specific verse quotation. Surely you will realize that when you give it some thought. The creeds are Biblical. They do not quote passages.
