    "Like it or not, but from the Bible, that's the truth of the matter and not negotiable."
    In that case your Bible is wrong.
    Fortunately this black and white silly attitude is only your attitude and not a fair assessment or reflection of the breadth, depth and variety in the Bible.
    I may well have to agree with your earlier claim of being pigheaded.

    You should try to broaden your experience because for example your belief that you can just take a word without it's context, paste it into an online "translator" and get the only correct translation is untrue.
    Any decent dictionary will give examples of how a word is used in a variety of ways as well as other words that have similar meanings.
    Even more important in literature where the meaning of words cannot be divorced from their context as the same word can have many different meanings and shades of meaning .. even slang usage, not to mention symbolic or use as a simile etc.

    This is clearly demonstrated if you read an English instruction manual for any Chinese piece of equipment that has not been edited by someone whose first language is English.
