What do you mean source? That's exactly why they are called what they are. It's been proven a lot in the series. Don't need Ishibumi in an Afterword, or on his blog or twitter to tell you something he's already confirmed. The Longinus all can kill gods and they are name after a person who stabbed a being related to a god so of course they are named Longinus because they can like Jesus who was stabbed, affect god related beings and they can kill gods also as a result. The JD brings out immense power that causes the user to enter a negative state [Issei proved this] and it's been stated as so. The SG were created by God so "sacred" means connected with God as he made them and gear means equipment used for a particular person [in this case a weapon used for offensive or defending]. SG literally means weapon created by God.
