The bible is not a dictionary particularly not our English bibles. Even the word Jesus is not his proper name. The way we say Jesus is not even the correct pronunciation. So if you follow the Bible as a dictionary you will get it wrong.
To say a "worldly dictionary", doesn't make sense. It's like saying a "worldly car", or a "worldly house".
Then you claimed my faith is based upon the dictionary because I used the term as found in the dictionary. I'm sorry but that is comical to me and you make me laugh even if that was not your intention.
So for arguments sake, let us use the bible's definition of religion as caring for orphans and widows.
Now, what do you suppose we call Hinduism, Christianity, Islam.. do you have another word for these? You must believe they are not religions, according to the definition of religion given in James.
