Which one do you recommend?

Secondly, don’t organization often use common words in unique ways? Take for example, the IRS. They use the word “gift” in a way that is unique. Just because it is different from the vernacular, doesn’t mean its use is incorrect.

Likewise, if the Roman Catholic Church uses words whose meanings are different from the common definition, it doesn’t make it a lie or propaganda.

In other words, you may not use it a certain way, but it doesn’t make it wrong.

Something to think about...

We're not talking about what "organizations" mean. We're talking about what God said. He used Greek and Hebrew because they are specific. Like I said. Those word games don't work well when seeking truth from scripture.

If your eternal future depends on it do you want to depend on "different from common definition" or do you want to depend on what God meant?

>>In other words, you may not use it a certain way, but it doesn’t make it wrong.<<

If it differs from what God meant it most certainly does make it wrong.

It may be something for you to "think about". I'll search for the true meaning of God's words.
