My main problems with English is we tend to transliterate our borrowed words and then give them new meanings. We also tend to generalize specifics and specify generals.

Greek has four specific words translated as "love" that the English generalized into one.

Greek has a general word for deliverance, preservation, kept safe, etc. That the English speaking clergy translates as "salvation(a French word)" giving it a specific meaning the bible never intended complete with a "Gospel(Old English)" never stated in the Greek.

Are you familiar with the saying, "Fucked up like a soup sandwich"? Well, now you are. You pretend to know some sort of information from ancient Greek. Lay down a trail of etymological clues that we can follow to get to some truth that you are alleging. Bring it.

Truly, why do I bother with it? This guy is so full of shit that he sprays it all over this site. Rolleyes
Your crazy! The only evidence I have is biblical Greek and the bible itself! Do you really want me to translate verses of the bible for you on Atheist Forums? I am so full of shit my guts ache but, I'm not stupid.
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
