It's a synonym for truth, or accuracy, nothing whatsoever to do with "the gospels"! While you get a perfect score in vocabulary, claiming the word has "nothing whatsoever" to do with the biblical gospels earns you a failing grade in diachronic linguistics. The word gospel, which comes from the Old English god spel, "good news," has been used to describe something that is thought to be as true as the biblical gospel (that is, undeniably true) since the 13th century. The current idiom "gospel truth" or "taken as gospel" originated in the1600s, when it referred to biblical truths, and has been applied to truth of a more general nature since the late 1800s.

Relax JW...just some light-hearted banter! ? In the context of my comment the word does have nothing, whatsoever, to do with the gospels. And, thanks, but there was no need for you to copy and paste the definition for me! And as far as diachronic linguistics is concerned, that is the study of language change through history, I get more marks than you as the use of "gospel" as an idiom in this context is unconnected to historical linguistics. So relax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No relevance to any of your constant baiting comments you constantly make towards others. But it has the same relevance as US or many other countries simply saying that just because one is incarcerated they may not be relieved of fines and penalties. It is common in many countries 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a different division, immigration is a part of the Royal Thai Police as a whole. You are the one who doesn't understand how an organization works.
