Sometimes Christians will try to substantiate the repent-of-sins "gospel message" (so-called), by referring to the dictionary definition of the word. In this video we will look at the pros and cons of using a dictionary to define words like this, and the problem with words changing their definition overtime in Hebrew, Greek and English.

DISCLAIMER: The King James Bible is sourced from the Hebrew Old Testament (Masoretic Text), many modern Bibles borrow from or even favor the Greek Septuagint text. I do not advocate the Septuagint as the "correct" source of Old Testament text, but it is useful tool to see how early Greek scribes translated the equivalent Hebrew.
