Semantic gymnastics. They simply twist words that they pretty much made up in an age of bloodshed (and interpretations thereof) to suit today’s ostensibly less-bloody times. They’ve been doing it for their flock for literally millennia.
Just because it isn’t something you want to hear doesn’t make it ‘semantic gymnastics’. And I don’t see why you’re so eager to give validity to the least scientifically compatible form of religious belief.
