Who ya gonna trust? Some poster or Google Translator and those Merriam-Webster folks?

I used google and a 60 year old Latin dictionary. :-)

I am truly willing to accept an "official" explanation of the Catholic Church. Sadly, there is none.

Few of us will ever have the time or opportunity to be scholars of ancient languages so it really surprises me that the many works of those that have are so regularly ignored when trying to understand the meaning of words of such an important book as the Bible.

“I used google and a 60 year old Latin dictionary. :-)”

Yep, save them old books, they grow in value by the year. (and Latin hasn't changed in the past 60 years)

Not having the prerequisite fluency in Latin is too big a handicap to overcome with such primitive tools.
