Confidential (Christianity) - Kimitsu

…When the Greek word mystērion was translated into Latin, it was sometimes written as mysterium, but the Latin word sacramentum, which was used as a ceremonial term in the military and had the meaning of a legal oath, was also used as a translation of mysterion from the time of Tertullian (died around 225), and later became the origin of theological terms in European and American languages. In Japan, Christian churches have translated it in various ways, such as sacrament (Catholic), sacrament, sacrament (Protestant), sacrament (Anglican), and mystery (Christian Orthodox Church). The word mysterion used in the New Testament is the same word as the term used in mystery religions at the time, but it is not used in the same sense. …
