We're in the middle of a thread where someone is criticizing the Church for using a particular word and making a claim that anyone that word applies to cannot be a Christian. It seems to me that we should be using the true definition of the word, not what some pro-homo anthropologists would like to make it to be. If we don't do that, we can criticize the Church for saying "Justified" because the Protestants mean it differently.

Whatever the purpose is, the word can be used properly with its proper meaning. I would assume in a theological discussion that's what we would do, not make up definitions on our own or apply someone else's made up definitions.
If not, well, heck, then I think a homosexual is someone who likes cheese and crackers. All's well now!
