I Corinthians 2:4-5
4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. KJV
4My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power. NIV
so the debate really is over. there's no need to go through long explanations with word maps and charts, no need to find obscure etymologies. The Bible clearly says that it is pointless to do so.
