Totally NOT a debate about the veracity of the gospels

You said "This is what clinched it for me." Clinched what for you? The realization that the Bible contradicts itself?

Its following on from another thread.

And what in clinched for me was that the bible was at best a record of remarkable events, rather than the inerrant word of God.

In spanish, red is "rojo", puple is "púrpura".
In italian, red is "rosso", purple is "porpora".
In romanian, red is "roșu", purple is "purpuriu".
In french red is "rouge", purple is "pourpre".

Do you see where this is going?
Those damned portuguese mess up the whole thing.... or they're so far away from the center, that they kept the original word for purple and came up with a different one (or kept the pre-latin) for the well known red.

Let's check the etimology department...
It seems the portuguese "roxo" comes from the latin "russeus" which means dark red.

According to other places on the web, russeus means "reddish", or "having red as its color"...

But the original would have been written in greek, right?
According to google translator, russeus (latin) is "κόκκινος", in greek.... And that just means red.
Curiously, google translator also translates russeus to "vermelho" (portuguese), rojo (spanish), rosso (italian), roșu (romanian) and rouge (french).

So there you go... make of it what you will.

That's very nice bullshit! Grade A. And you got in there first too!

However, red remains red. And Purple still means purple.

If I order a car This colour and they deliver one This colour, no amount of semantic argument, explanation, etymology, or anything else will mollify me, because when the Brochure says [/color]red I assume it means red and if I get a car this colour it means there is a mistake in the brochure. Even if the guy in the shop swears up and down that its actually IS red.
