Interesting information on the 'original' Greek meanings. My question is did the ancient Greek have many or any words describing 'non material, omnipresence' ? My gut feeling is that they did not considering the type of god concepts that were already in place - Zeus & the pantheon all described as human like entities visiting earth even mating with humans. Take this along with the mounting evidence that many of the scriptures you quoted were probably originally written in Hebrew (cont.)
(cont.) & then translated in to the Greek words available eg. Papias (150-170CE) 'Matthew composed the words in the Hebrew, and each translated AS HE WAS ABLE'.
