Force \Force\, n. [F. force, LL. forcia, fortia, fr. L. fortis       strong. See {Fort}, n.]       1. Strength or energy of body or mind; active power; vigor;             might; often, an unusual degree of strength or energy;             capacity of exercising an influence or producing an             effect; especially, power to persuade, or convince, or             impose obligation; pertinency; validity; special             signification; as, the force of an appeal, an argument, a             contract, or a term.                         He was, in the full force of the words, a good man.                                                                               --Macaulay.          2.

Strength or power for war; hence, a body of land or naval             combatants, with their appurtenances, ready for action; --             an armament; troops; warlike array; -- often in the             plural; hence, a body of men prepared for action in other             ways; as, the laboring force of a plantation.                         Is Lucius general of the forces?         --Shak.          4. (Law)             (a) Strength or power exercised without law, or contrary                   to law, upon persons or things; violence.             (b) Validity; efficacy. --Burrill.          5. (Physics) Any action between two bodies which changes, or             tends to change, their relative condition as to rest or             motion; or, more generally, which changes, or tends to             change, any physical relation between them, whether             mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, magnetic, or of             any other kind; as, the force of gravity; cohesive force;             centrifugal force.          {Animal force} (Physiol.), muscular force or energy.          {Catabiotic force} [Gr. [?] down (intens.) + [?] life.]             (Biol.), the influence exerted by living structures on             adjoining cells, by which the latter are developed in             harmony with the primary structures.          {Centrifugal force}, {Centripetal force}, {Coercive force},             etc. See under {Centrifugal}, {Centripetal}, etc.          {Composition of forces}, {Correlation of forces}, etc. See             under {Composition}, {Correlation}, etc.          {Force and arms} [trans. of L. vi et armis] (Law), an             expression in old indictments, signifying violence.          {In force}, [or] {Of force}, of unimpaired efficacy; valid;             of full virtue; not suspended or reversed. [bd]A testament             is of force after men are dead.[b8] --Heb. ix. 17.          {Metabolic force} (Physiol.), the influence which causes and             controls the metabolism of the body.          {No force}, no matter of urgency or consequence; no account;             hence, to do no force, to make no account of; not to heed.             [Obs.] --Chaucer.          {Of force}, of necessity; unavoidably; imperatively. [bd]Good             reasons must, of force, give place to better.[b8] --Shak.          {Plastic force} (Physiol.), the force which presumably acts             in the growth and repair of the tissues.          {Vital force} (Physiol.), that force or power which is             inherent in organization; that form of energy which is the             cause of the vital phenomena of the body, as distinguished             from the physical forces generally known.          Syn: Strength; vigor; might; energy; stress; vehemence;                violence; compulsion; coaction; constraint; coercion.          Usage: {Force}, {Strength}. Strength looks rather to power as                   an inward capability or energy. Thus we speak of the                   strength of timber, bodily strength, mental strength,                   strength of emotion, etc. Force, on the other hand,                   looks more to the outward; as, the force of                   gravitation, force of circumstances, force of habit,                   etc. We do, indeed, speak of strength of will and                   force of will; but even here the former may lean                   toward the internal tenacity of purpose, and the                   latter toward the outward expression of it in action.                   But, though the two words do in a few cases touch thus                   closely on each other, there is, on the whole, a                   marked distinction in our use of force and strength.                   [bd]Force is the name given, in mechanical science, to                   whatever produces, or can produce, motion.[b8]                   --Nichol.                               Thy tears are of no force to mollify This flinty                            man.                                             --Heywood.                               More huge in strength than wise in works he was.                                                                               --Spenser.                               Adam and first matron Eve Had ended now their                            orisons, and found Strength added from above,                            new hope to spring Out of despair. --Milton.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Fault \Fault\, n.       1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a             crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with             another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the             circuit.          2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of             rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated             structure resulting from such slipping.          Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have                moved is called the          {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a          {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the             present relative position of the two masses could have             been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane,             of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a          {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so             inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up             relatively, the fault is then called a          {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust},       {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault             is then called a          {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation             measured on the fault plane and in the direction of             movement is the          {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the          {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the          {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the             fault plane with a horizontal plane is the          {trend} of the fault. A fault is a          {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with             the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of             intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal             plane); it is a          {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike;             an          {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike.             Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called          {cross faults}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Crucifixion       a common mode of punishment among heathen nations in early       times. It is not certain whether it was known among the ancient       Jews; probably it was not. The modes of capital punishment       according to the Mosaic law were, by the sword (Ex. 21),       strangling, fire (Lev. 20), and stoning (Deut. 21).                This was regarded as the most horrible form of death, and to a       Jew it would acquire greater horror from the curse in Deut.       21:23.                This punishment began by subjecting the sufferer to scourging.       In the case of our Lord, however, his scourging was rather       before the sentence was passed upon him, and was inflicted by       Pilate for the purpose, probably, of exciting pity and procuring       his escape from further punishment (Luke 23:22; John 19:1).                The condemned one carried his own cross to the place of       execution, which was outside the city, in some conspicuous place       set apart for the purpose. Before the nailing to the cross took       place, a medicated cup of vinegar mixed with gall and myrrh (the       sopor) was given, for the purpose of deadening the pangs of the       sufferer. Our Lord refused this cup, that his senses might be       clear (Matt. 27:34). The spongeful of vinegar, sour wine, posca,       the common drink of the Roman soldiers, which was put on a       hyssop stalk and offered to our Lord in contemptuous pity (Matt.       27:48; Luke 23:36), he tasted to allay the agonies of his thirst       (John 19:29). The accounts given of the crucifixion of our Lord       are in entire agreement with the customs and practices of the       Roman in such cases. He was crucified between two "malefactors"       (Isa. 53:12; Luke 23:32), and was watched by a party of four       soldiers (John 19:23; Matt. 27:36, 54), with their centurion.       The "breaking of the legs" of the malefactors was intended to       hasten death, and put them out of misery (John 19:31); but the       unusual rapidity of our Lord's death (19:33) was due to his       previous sufferings and his great mental anguish. The omission       of the breaking of his legs was the fulfilment of a type (Ex.       12:46). He literally died of a broken heart, a ruptured heart,       and hence the flowing of blood and water from the wound made by       the soldier's spear (John 19:34). Our Lord uttered seven       memorable words from the cross, namely, (1) Luke 23:34; (2)       23:43; (3) John 19:26; (4) Matt. 27:46, Mark 15:34; (5) John       19:28; (6) 19:30; (7) Luke 23:46.
