Word play in aramaic and syriac
#71
I have read this entire thread and I must say "Kudos to Brother Burning One, ThirdWoe and Paul". <!-- s:bigups: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bigups.gif" alt=":bigups:" title="Big Ups" /><!-- s:bigups: -->

I notice that Steve seems to think that just because the Aposltes could easily be recognized by strangers as being from Nazareth that they had to be speaking another dialect other than the strangers, but I would like to ask him to consider when Japanese people are speaking United Staes English can it not be deduced that they are from Japan and not the US? Or even the Indian people that answer the phones in Engish (for customer service) are at times hard to understand becuse of their accent, not dialect! Even my father-in-law whom was a Cajun could speak both Creole and English fluently, and which ever he used you could spot on tell that he was from Louisiana (by the way they do not like being called Coon-*sses, yet many a people refered to them by that phrase throughout history). I also know of many other people from Louisiana that speak good US English but their ACCENT also give them away that they are not from Texas, as with my accent is a dead give away as a Texan. And yes I can understand British English with very little problems, as well as Australian English to boot. <!-- sWink --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/wink1.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><!-- sWink -->

And I hope no one takes offense to this (especially since some have no problem calling Assyrians by the S word), but I am reminded of the term I believe I coined, some 40 years ago, to refer to my dad and his four siblings. And may I add that they themselves never got mad when I reffered to them by this term. But before I tell y'all what it is I'll first give a little back ground. My dad and his siblings all graduated college with Master's Degrees. Their dad, my grandpa, did not make it all the way too high school being his mother was a widow and had three sons, so they all ended up going to work instead of staying at home and going to school, as they did not want to be a burden upon their mother any longer than they had too. I personally made it through high school and took some trade school in automotives, so I too have had some formal education myself. But where I have noticed a difference from a young age, even to this date, is that College educated people had little next to no understanding as to the real world as opposed to the lesser educated people I knew. That is one of the main reasons I refused to let my parrents put me through college, being I liked having common sence and did not wish to be brain washed as it seemed my dad and his four siblings had become. It was amazing to me that my grandpa could be so wise and spawn 5 unwittingly chilren. Now I am not saying they have no inteletual abilities at all, but I will say that they, as well as many other college educated people I have met, seem to have lost good sense when it goes against what they were taught in college. Anyway before I made it to peberty I came to the consensus that college made people loose common sense, thus I asked my grandpa one day how it was that all five of his children could become such "educated idiots"?. This was after he and them all differed from him on a subject that he was trying to get them to see eye to eye on. I could see his point clearly yet not one in five of them had the sense to understand what their father, of whom had real world experience on the subject and they only had book learning from people that only had book learning taught to them by other people that only had book learning upon the subject at hand. Anyway this thread reminded me of my dad and his four siblings trying to tell their dad that he did not understand what was going on because their college profesors said other wise. I guess once they pay so much to listen to a proffessor they think they must re-epouse the same so that they would not have to admit that they wasted their time and money in some of the classes they took. By the way my grandpa laughed at my question, and while he could not give an answer he did agree with me in that they where blinded to the truth in that case as well as in others. <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->

So it seems that many a western person endowded with a Seminary background in Scriptures seem to at all cost be blinded to seeing what is right in front of their noses. Especially the ones of whom teach it being if they did admit the truth (that is if they could be so objective to look for it) they would lose their high status amongst their constituents in one fell swoop. They would go from somebody to being a despote in their fellow christians eyes that it is simply unfathomable for their minds to truely be objective to the facts, as oppose to the western conjectured fabrications (one upon another piled upon the other until perhaps they can not see the truth for all the lies in which they've become ingulfed in). I used to be one so I know what it is like being totally engulfed in it, yet thank Eloah I lacked a Simanary degree in it, HallaluYah Awmayn[Strong's #543]. And so I will say, like smokers can not smell the stinch of an ash tray <!-- s:crazy: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/crazy.gif" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy" /><!-- s:crazy: --> , it is not so easy to wake-up and smell the western christianity about one's self when they've been smothered in it for so long, yet still do able if one really tries hard enough. <!-- s:bomb: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bomb.gif" alt=":bomb:" title="The Bomb" /><!-- s:bomb: -->
