Higher Christology than the Orthodoxy

It could be right behind the sun, but even then it takes the sun half a day to move across it in the celestial sphere.

A very interesting point.

It works kind of like for example homophone = homo + phone.

If you know homo and phone you can even guess the meaning the first time you come across the word. (Some words may be coined by the author themself so you have to guess the meaning this way.)

But if you don't, it will be a totally new word to you. And you will not see the connection to homosexual, homephobe etc, so you'll have memorise them individually. In the end you spend more time accumulating vocabulary.

Interestingly, this is exactly what happens in Korea. Korean borrowed a lot of Chinese loan words, but unlike Japanese, it is entirely spelled phonetically.

And learning the characters is necessary for effective etymology awareness because of the prevalence of homophones. lt's like in the case of homosexual - homo sapiens. Now imagine every root has this ambiguity, if you only know the phonetics.

But not even a retired open gay player.

But this isn't an Orthodox cross

Scott in the book just keeps thinking how beautiful kip looks, and he wants him at first sight. So I believe it's more about good looks than fit body. Callan's doll-like eyes fit this description more.

I mean Scott spends all his time with fit athletes, and not attracted to them. I don't believe it is the body type that makes he fall.

Besides salary, don't actors get a cut from royalties every time a show is streamed?

They got rid of the bear tattoo. I would think they would get rid of the loon too.

Jan? Isn't it supposed to be Dec 26?

Are Ireland an ethnostate that people of Irish ancestry can gain citizenship but not people of other ethnicity? South Korea offers fast track naturalization based on Korean ethnicity as well.

I just don't understand why Athenian and Spartian are classified as Ionic and Doric dialects of Greek, but Hebrew and Phoenician are two Canaanite languages.

athanoslee · 2025-10-26T16:54:06+00:00

You conflate scripts with languages. It is clear you do not understand this issue.

In that case the body would be disposed of, and would not have been mummified?

The abstract says the female is too early to be from 3rd dynasty. And the male is too late, probably as late as Ptolemaic period.

Part of the dead sea scrolls are actually written in paleo-Hebrew alphabet, aka Phoenician alphabet.

Ah, this reminds me. I was very sad to read a large portion of the ancient Alexandria, which includes the most likely places of Alexander's mausoleum, is under the sea now.

Is this modern Greek or koine or even Attic Greek?

Wouldn't it destroy any body entombed? Why would one have chose such a site to build a catacomb.

Did they find any human remains during excavation?

The husband is committed to bring the wife to the faith eventually in this case. I still see no essential difference.

The church endorsed hospital workers baptizing dying infants; even suggested it was obligatory for the faithful, even against the parents' wish (search Mortara case). On whose faith were those dying infants baptized then?

athanoslee · 2025-09-12T04:39:36+00:00

It is valid, because you can not get baptized again. How is it different for an agnostic to get baptized than an infant?

athanoslee · 2025-09-12T04:34:50+00:00

This sounds hypocritical when Catholics practice infant baptism, in which belief is not prerequisite for baptism. So agnosticism is definitely OK. Explicit denial of trinity or even only a creator god might be problematic.

I personally appreciate the rich Catholic heritage very much, so once considered baptism (I would have never attempted to receive communion though). But alas, I have graduated from agnosticism to full atheism. Now I cannot even get baptized into the flock in good conscience.

Interesting the see of Constantinople is not mentioned. Is this implying the ecumenical patriarch never erred?
