You have just redefined the word "heal" as something only the body can do to itself.
Well, Huggy, not gonna fucking happen here. You repeatedly attempt to make your living here redefining everything so it fits your narrative and then expect everyone to just fall in line. Get real.
look up placebo effect.

Additionally, if words change meanings over time -- and they do, you're right -- then you're asserting that your god's book is open to human interpretation. That renders it less than authoritative, given human imperfection.I think you know what I meant by "old english"

And given the fact that the Bible was written in three different languages, your point about one Hebrew word translating to one English word is, well, pointless.Aramaic became the language of the Jews during the Babylonian exile, only a couple of books were written in Aramaic.
Anyhow, your point is moot, because the example I gave you was Hebrew.

אֵמֻן noun [masculine] trusting, faithfulness (on formation compare Ges§ 84a R. 12). 1. 1 בָּנִים לֹא אֵמֻן בָּם children in whom there is no trusting Deuteronomy 32:20 (poetry) 2. אֱמוּנִים plural abstract faithfulness; ׳צִיר א messenger of faithfulness, trusty messenger Proverbs 13:17; ׳עֵד א faithful witness Proverbs 14:5; compare ׳אִישׁ א Proverbs 20:6; ׳שֹׁמֵר א keeping faithfulness Isaiah 26:2, perhaps also Psalm 31:24 ׳נצד א see I.

I asked for a reputable source. Give me a link from a source specializing in linguistics, not apologetics. An academic source would be ideal, so long as the erudition doesn't aggravate your allergies.
So you want a source discussing Bible translations of the word "faith" with the caveat of not being from a Theological site? Good luck with that one.
