There are a lot of religious terms from the bible and lingo from Christians that are just not used in normal life and language. What is everyone talking about??
Try some simple understandings, especially when you read your bible, it helps.
Modern Lingo – This is how it is used and what is sounds like to many people, not just Christians. Church folk (this includes me) try to be mindful.
