non-Catholics refuse to believe Catholics when we provide this type of information, so it is best if you finds it out for yourself. Did you have others do your homework for you in school, and if you did, did you learn anything for it?

Haha...I figured you were just blowin' smoke...

Not at all there is a specific definition, and it can be found by anyone that looks. The only one "blowing smoke" is the non-Catholic that has made the erroneous claim..There are over 25 Greek lexicons out there...You have no way of knowing which one if any is correct...

Which Greek lexicon do you feel is correct? Which author do you feel is the most reliable? Why do you feel that your chosen translation requires you to check the Greek? Do you not trust what is written, or who interpreted it for you in the first place?

I have confidence in my Bible and Its interpreters. Rather than trying to look word for word at what is already translated and interpreted, wouldn't it be better to see how the Bible teaches the Way which Jesus is speaking to you about what is in the deepest recesses of your heart?

When a man finds a treasure in a field, he sells all he has to buy that field. What does he do afterward? Does he take the treasure and use it wisely, or does he use the soil to throw at his neighbors? May you find joy in your study, and peace in your heart, and guidance from God toward His Truth- our common goal to love Him and love one another forever in Heaven!

G-d ♡ bless you!
