This is an utter waste of time. All of your beliefs are based on your own interpretations. They make it possible for you to read the Bible and not hate the antagonist of the piece. Read the Bible from a literal perspective and you will see things differently. Until such a time as you can manage that, you will continue to make shoddy arguments in order to support your preconceived ideas of god. Good luck with that.
So you refuse to restate your position, you ignore legitimate translation material such as Strong's, Thayer's, Bullingers, or BDag lexicons. In favor of random material that may or may not be consistent with the specific translation of passages from the bible that is actually being discussed. Just so you can harp on a undefined and illusive point that seems to float where ever you wish to argue from.
Which BTW now seems to favor a literal English reading of the bible, rather than correcting my understanding of the Greek. Which means you would have us ignore the original Greek text, in favor of what is easiest for you to understand and argue. You are correct this does seem to have been a great waist of time.
