“False teachers often redefine biblical words, so we must check to make sure we understand how they are using them or God’s intended meaning of verses becomes lost. Peter described how some people misuse God’s Word with horrifying results. He said, “Untaught and unstable people twist [Paul’s words] to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures” (2 Peter 3:16).”
