Your forgetting the fact words change over time. A word might not change in meaning but we can add new traits to it as time passes. This is evident with many of the phrases used when discussing religion.

2000 years ago many modern words would not have existed, instead they had their similar phrase in another language. As time passes and in translation words gain new meaning determined by those doing the translating, especially a given phrase doesn't make sense or they desire to change it for their own purposes.
