God respects no one.

omg, I did not realize the Athiest were well... lets put it this way, I figured that if someone was willing to bet their eternal state on believing or not believing something they would at least know how to read it.

I have taken Greek, and I can tell you that in the instance of the NT examples you gave the Greek word used for both terms is different and has different meanings.

A good example is the greek words Hrama and Logos, BOTH words are translated "word" in the NT, but having different meaning. Even in English we the would repect in different ways, let alone arcane english.

here ya go, I hope this shows you some light      http://www.thefreedictionary.com/respect
