@King_eddiie@SamueldSmart@Lawal_oluwadami That's not true Sir.. we can't rely on that argument to show that Ananias in acts 5:1 isn't a Christian.. Acts 18:7, Acts 15:1, Acts 16:17 uses that phrase for believer too.. that's Lucks mode of writing, and the conclusion is in the point of the story
@SamueldSmart@iSamwhillie@meo_joule@ADEBAYOkeh48613@Lawal_oluwadami Okay.. let's say In a court, where two people with the same crime charges are brought to the judge and where to face same judgement but the president or governor grant one pardon, what is it called, and what can you say happen to the two.
@SamueldSmart@iSamwhillie@meo_joule@ADEBAYOkeh48613@Lawal_oluwadami Lol.... U don't seem to be ready to listen so I will pass.. you asked who is the object of mercy and they showed you a scripture that says it's God.... There's nothing partials about mercy in God.. before I give you this analogy what do u understand by mercy

So I’ve been seeing it float around the internet that there are only 2 words in Greek for “worship.” That being: προσκυνέω (proskuneō) and λατρεύω (latreuō). This, I’m afraid, either reveals that the people repeating either don’t know Greek themselves or are operating on an intro 1st-year level of Greek competency.
In Greek, there are several words used to express the concept of worship, each with slightly different nuances. The most common term is προσκυνέω (proskuneō), which means "to worship" or "to venerate" by bowing down or prostrating. Another significant term is λατρεύω (latreuō), which emphasizes worship as obedience and fulfillment of duties. The verbs σεβάζομαι (sebazomai) and σέβομαι (sebomai) focus on the inner attitude of respect and sincere belief in the object of worship. Additionally, λειτουργέω (leitourgeō) is related to public religious service. These terms, along with others like εὐχομαι (euchomai) for general prayer and εὐχαριστέω (eucharisteō) for thanksgiving, form a complex semantic network in the New Testament, reflecting various aspects of worship including adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication.
To say that one of these many words is used exclusively for God and that another is only used exclusively for earthly authorities simply shows an inability or unfamiliarity with how to read Greek within its context.
