Okay but time out time out! There obviously is much more at stake here than the definition of a Hebrew word! What is the source of agitation in back of things in this discussion. Is someone contending for something OTHER than the definition or source of a WORD?

I mean imagine a discussion where all of a sudden the use of the word Baptistry is under fire because it does not exist in the Koine Greek, even though it IS the source of the word. The concept of a PLACE to BAPTIZO certainly would bring the word under the covering of a Biblical concept and word. If someone was really up in arms over the word baptistry and where and when it originated ....I would then be pretty sure that THAT was not the real issue, something else was.
And thats whay I feel here...what is the real ISSUE in back of this?


'Splain it to me.....

Okay time out is over
