C'mon. You know that the concept is found in scripture, even if that isn't the word used. There are all sorts of words and terms that we all use which refer to some Biblical principle
This is exactly what I was trying to point out.
Words have specific meanings. It's very easy to be using a man made root word which distorts the actual words in the Bible.
For example: the Bible does not use the word "accept" anywhere when describing salvation. Yet millions of people say that salvation is "accepting Jesus". In fact, without looking it up, can you describe the actual words the Bible uses to describe how to be saved?
Edited to add: Nor does it use "choose" or "choice" in any verses about salvation, yet those words are also commonly used by millions of people when describing salvation.
If you limit your description to actual words that the Bible uses, would that change your understanding about salvation? For the purpose of this response, I'm not arguing whether I feel it does or doesn't because that is irrelevant to my question -> I'm asking about you.
The question is... do you have vigilance in identifying a filter? Can you recognize a word that is made up by man and do you challenge yourself to ensure that the man made word is an accurate representation of Scripture?
