INTRODUCTION

The Bible is made up of many thousands of words. Not all words are equal in terms of the significance to the truth that they convey. For example there are hundreds of words that are used only one time to describe a person, place or thing. Yet there are a few dozen words in the NT that have been at the heart of heated debates by committed Christians and the best scholars for centuries. There are cults that take biblical words that many people have heard before but pack their subtle deceptions into the ways that the define the terms.
