FYI - Written words AND spoken words mean ABSOLUTELY nothing until some form of INTELLECTUALLY established MEANING is assigned to them.  Written communication is JUST as fluid as verbal communication and unimaginable CHANGES in the commonly understood MEANING of any word OR combination of any LETTERS can cause miscommunication.

 

IF I type KKK, or even SAY those letters out loud and the acronym in my mind means "OK, OK, OK" but all you see is a set of symbols and SOUNDS representing a violent white supremacist group, you MAY not grasp the intended MESSAGE and therefore, MISCOMMUNICATION occurs.

 

I smile EVERY time Companion Ivy reminds me that "Q-tip cotton swabs were once called "Baby Gays."  Just so you know."  So we can see THAT particular word (gay) has undergone EXTENSIVE diversion of MEANING in common use practice from originally signifying "Happy"  "Care Free" to the current common use understanding of today.

 

The human mind will always START it's determination of the actual MESSAGE contained in any written or spoken communication it receives with the MOST common current understanding of the combination of LETTERS in written communication or the SOUNDS produced during verbal communication.

 

Seems kinda simple doesn't it?  

 

But in actuality the INTRICACIES of actual communication between ANY two sentient beings whom are ABLE to attempt any communication is ASTOUNDING!  

 

THEN, add to this the NUMEROUS non-verbal or even CAPITALIZATION, punctuation or VOWEL POINT, or verbal accent and enunciation cues within communication and you start to realize the IMMENSITY of the underlying DESIGN going on which facilitates the process of INTELLIGENT, sentient communication.

 

"DESIGN?"  

 

Yes.  Intelligent DESIGN.

 

"By who?"  

 

By the GOOD, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, SENTIENT, Creator Deity of course.

 

"Oh, NOT that idea again.  Science says and has PROVEN that EVERYTHING that IS, or Was or Ever Will Be, is an ACCIDENT!"

 

Well...it is MY personal belief that we were given by our CREATOR the FREE Will to believe whatever we want to believe.  Just keep in mind that if the theories of Quantum Mechanics are in any way a TRUE representative of our current reality, THEN our thoughts may actually cause changes in our physical reality which may GIVE us whatever reality we truly believe in. 

 

But remember, there MAY just be a GREAT WATCHER whose personal thoughts and beliefs ALSO affect our reality.  Believe it or not.  As you wish.

 

No divine design and accidental life & death?  As you wish.

 

As you wish = Repeated dialogue metaphor device of the movie The PRINCESS BRIDE = I love you.  I = I AM,  Love = Agape or Eros (Charity/Mercy/Forgiveness OR romantic emotions), YOU = EWE (Female Sheep) or U = Other (Physics)(Opposite of g)

 

"Yo G!"  (Yo G!)

 

Oops....Back to the Etymological Issues topic:

 

Ancient cultures used PICTOGRAPHIC representations of actual THINGS in early writings to convey THOUGHTS and SOUNDS of verbal words.

 

One of MY personally favorite Paleo-Hebraic Pictographic meanings is of course the tetragrammaton of YHWH given to Moses\Moshe by the Burning Bush whenever they basically asked the authorized representative of El\Allah, "Whom exactly am I supposed to say to the Children of Israel SENT me to lead them out of slavery by the Egyptians?": (Paraphrased)(What They Don't Want You To READ)

 

Y = Hand
H = See or Behold
W = Nail (Or Nail Hole?)
H = See or Behold

 

The combinations of these letters signify the "I AM' reality or the "I AM THAT I AM" or "I AM WHATEVER I WANT TO BE" or as is commonly attributed to the subjective concept of "The GREAT I AM."

 

It is recorded that Thomas, who wasn't present at the first POST resurrection appearance of Joshua The Messiah of Nazareth, DOUBTED.  He wanted to SEE for himself.  

 

His desire was granted Removal of Doubt.

 

For members of the Jewish\Hebrew DIASPORA  whose own Masoretic scribes of the 13th century, REMOVED or OBSCURED the name given to Moses\Moshe because according to the traditions of MEN, this name became TOO sacred to even SAY by anyone other than a member of the Levitical Priesthood.

 

Maybe the religious leaders of that time realized that their current POWER to influence or CONTROL others would suddenly VANISH if ALL members of their faith were ABLE to discover the ROOT meanings of those letters which would suddenly help them realize that their GOD & the MESSIAH they STILL await; has ALREADY come as a lamb to slaughter for thier trespasses; and GONE back to the Realm of the Heavens to take their rightful position as High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek!

 

OH, and this UNAUTHORIZED tampering with the TORAH\Tanakh was carried over into ALMOST every single translation that is commonly used today.

 

Believe it, or not.

 

As you wish.

 

Shalom!
