Because definitions are not prescriptive. And it is improper usage of a dictionary to shop around the different senses and give them all equal merit. You are supposed to go and look at the context in which a word is used and be able to infer its meaning. And even if you still care about proper definitions, you need to pull out a Greek concordance and dictionary and research its original usage and meaning, not pull out your merriam-webster.
Oh, so that was what was wrong with your faith parachute, was it? You don't believe the things you say to us. Is it any surprise that we don't believe you when you say them?
