Definition: In the Greek New Testament, "coalbagger" refers to a person who sells or gives false testimony, especially in connection with religious matters. This term comes from the Latin word "cogberatum," which means "to sell out, to betray your fellow Christians." Here's the detailed definition of "coalbagger": - In Greek New Testament literature: This term is used by Jesus and his disciples when they are asked about how they will be able to eat with God. They must "eat bread" (18:4), which is a literal food that was eaten by many people, including the apostles themselves. - In the Christian Bible: The word is used in the Old Testament and New Testament literature to refer to those who betray their fellow believers or whom they believe has betrayed them. It often refers to those who have plotted against God's people. In other words, coalbagger is someone who lies about having eaten bread with Jesus, which he claims he did not do. The implication is that they are lying on the basis of false statements rather than for any genuine reason, making them a figure of shame and detestable among the believers.
