Book excerpt: Many people today wonder why so many Christians insist on absolute adherence to every word that they see in the Bible. Come with me on a verbal journey in Gods word, The Bible. See for yourself how important the accurate understanding of each and every Biblical word is. Understand in your own soul (your mind) what the substitution of a euphemism can cause. Know what damage the misunderstanding of a single word is able to accomplish in a church and in the lives of people. Discover what the changing of a single word caused in the lives of innocent millions. Find out, for yourself, what these three items of speech, a euphemism, a misunderstanding and a word change can cause. Learn how they bring anxiety, indescribable heartache and sorrow to people whose only desire is to serve Jehovah God. You will be able to see how the change of a single word brought confusion to many people and brought dishonor to the cause of Jesus the Christ. When people sit down to study the Bible they very often read that book with preconceived ideas. They read, with what they have been taught, ever present in the background of their mind. Where they acquired those ideas will all too often decide how they will think as they read. If the reader thinks that the Bible is the word of God it is probable that all too often their reading will be slanted by the denomination in which they were taught. When a person, of this day and age, combines twenty first century church doctrine with the King James English, they come up against big bunches of words which become hazy or even defiant of understanding. Entire passages of Holy Scripture become unintelligible. Those types of passages then force the reader to accept their denominations definition. When a reader reads with those predetermined definitions they will miss many of the answers which they are seeking. You see, the denominational definitions cause most of the questions in the first place. What they discover is that the problems they are trying to solve simply increase in intensity. Those problems almost always bring about the conflict between what they were taught about God and life, and the experiences of the life that they are living. Gods word then creates anxiety and unhappiness instead of bringing quiet contentment.
Download or read book ITALY from I to Y written by James De Franco and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision to write a book about my obersavtion of people and events in my life journey from my native Italy to Austraila was taken when coming out of my work life, I was suddenly made aware that the tools of literacy required were somewhat different from the tools of my trade where sharpness was essential as bluntness was for the book. I apologize on behalf of my tools while I defend the message they convey: I love both Italy and Austraila. But being born in a particular part of the world should not impede or curtail our criticism of it, man's history is a tragic testimony of that where sons and daughters have continued conflicts initiated by their fathers with their own criticism muted by the unquestioned love for the parent couple: Father-Land; thus sadly neglecting the apoltically stateless Mother-Nature.

Download or read book On Not Knowing Greek written by Virginia Woolf and published by Hesperus Press. This book was released on 2024-07-15 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken from The Common Reader, these essays take the form of a series of reflections on diverse literary topics, brought to life by Woolf' s extensive knowledge, lively wit, and piercing insight. "For it is vain and foolish to talk of knowing Greek, since in our ignorance we should be at the bottom of any class of schoolboys, since we do not know how the words sounded, or where precisely we ought to laugh, or how the actors acted, and between this foreign people and ourselves there is not only difference of race and tongue but a tremendous breach of tradition."

Download or read book The Ingenious Language written by Andrea Marcolongo and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Italian journalist pleads her case for learning ancient Greek in modern times. For word nerds, language loons, and grammar geeks, an impassioned and informative literary leap into the wonders of the Greek language. Here are nine ways Greek can transform your relationship to time and to those around you, nine reflections on the language of Sappho, Plato, and Thucydides, and its relevance to our lives today, nine chapters that will leave readers with a new passion for a very old language, nine epic reasons to love Greek. The Ingenious Language is a love song dedicated to the language of history’s greatest poets, philosophers, adventurers, lovers, adulterers, and generals. Greek, as Marcolongo explains in her buoyant and entertaining prose, is unsurpassed in its beauty and expressivity, but it can also offer us new ways of seeing the world and our place in it. She takes readers on an astonishing journey, at the end of which, while it may still be Greek to you, you’ll have nine reasons to be glad it is. No batteries or prior knowledge of Greek required! Praise for The Ingenious Language “Andrea Marcolongo is today’s Montaigne. She possesses an amazing familiarity with the classics combined with the ease and lightness of those who surf the web.” —André Aciman, New York Times–bestselling author of Find Me “[Marcolongo’s] declaration of love for Ancient Greek does more than celebrate the virtues of its grammar, it shows us modern fools how this language can help us understand ourselves better and live a better life.” —Le Monde (France)
