DAVEH: I've previously wanted to discuss these Perry, but so far I don't recall anybody wanting to have a serious discussion. Are you willing to do so? If you don't like how I defined them, please offer your definition and we can chat about our contrasting views.
My goal in pointing out the LDS meaning v. the Christian meaning is to remind people that when LDS use words, they often mean something different than what Christians mean when they use them. I do not want Christians who do not know the LDS meanings to be mislead into thinking that the Mormons think or believe the same way Christians do. Call me protective, but I feel it is my duty, if I know that someone is being mislead by words, to correct that. You certainly aren't going to tell them that you mean something different.
And, if you want "my" definition, use the Bible and a good dictionary. Strong's, Vine's, and Zhodiates' come to mind.
