What exactly is the difference in meaning between the Aramaic words RAB [resh-bet] and MAR [mem-resh]?
Both seem to indicate 'master', but as they are 2 separate words there must be some distinction....
Aren't there many saints in the Eastern Church who are addressed as 'Mar'? This would exclude the meaning of Mar being reserved for God only.
