Re: What's wrong with you people?

The recipe depicted is not something recommended for actual consumption, even though it could be made at home. Very much the bathtub gin of absinthe but people who make it will drink the stuff. Then they go very peculiar.

Gale already seems a little peculiar, hence my concern. Although Abraham planted a grove dedicated to the Name of the LORD, the everlasting God, later on groves were made to celebrate all sorts of orgiastic cults. These places may have been superficially pleasant, decorated, wafting spices filling the air and so on but Jesus does not accept that sort of worship. It's not the spices or the pleasant décor, it's the idols.

An idol need not be an actual statue. Of course worshipping or venerating statues is idolatry but God is quite clear about idols in the heart and the sorts of appetites they engender too. This is spelled out for us throughout The Bible; just two examples is enough.

OLD TESTAMENT

EZEKIEL 14 . KJV . look up .. context
1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?

NEW TESTAMENT

COLOSSIANS 3 . KJV . context
18 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

People do not have an inordinate affection statue set up to worship. It is something in the heart. Similarly for the other vices. Someone like Auguste Rodin could probably have produced a bronze representing concupiscence or fornication and his artists' colony sounds pretty much of a pagan grove to me but God is being very specific here. It's about idols in the heart. Sometimes when people suggest things we can see the idols in their heart as though their world is made of glass.

It's wonderful that a loving God has made us aware of these "invisible" idols so that we can see clearly, lest by cajolery we were shattered.

..Thank you Jesus

Thank you Lord

If you're going to tea with her be cautious around muslin bags, which could contain anything, and avoid the homemade absinthe. I imagine there's some around somewhere and remember that as a heretic she is more than happy to worship idols. And idolatry never has any decent associations when described in The Bible.

Obviously, Christians neither make, worship nor bow in the general direction of any idol. "Backsliders" do not have any foothold to slide back from because they were never saved in the first place so they probably worship idols in some form. Catholics therefore are not backslidden.

MICAH 5 . KJV . look up
12a [God speaking] I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand;
13a Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee;
13b Thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
14a I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee:
15a I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen.

God is clear that worshipping the human body, its somatic processes & perceptions, the behaviours it encourages under demonic influence and/or attending temple orgies INCLUDING those taking place in imaginary temples or by pretending that one has become a pixie engaging in secret pixie rites has no place in the Christian life. The Vatican is full of this stuff although there we may assume that secret goblin rites are the norm, cardinals not looking very much like pixies. Their idols are hardly imaginative having originated in Sumer or Babylon and been re-badged so many times that they've probably lost track. I haven't. Here you can see what is waiting to pounce if you visit her grove. For tea.

Then, we could visit a café. Also, I was unaware you could make absinthe at home. And I will be sure not to engage in any inappropriate or lewd acts.

I too am acquainted with oral traditions of sorts. I quite like you Maria, I think if we had tea some time we could find ourselves a common tongue!

If I think I know what you are insinuating, I'd have to turn you down. But, I would love to have tea!

Re: What's wrong with you people?

This was extremely informative! From what I remember, Catalan is a mixture of two languages, but I am unsure of the second. And I learned Spanish in an American school, so it's most likely not going to be 100% one country, but our teacher taught us mostly how they speak Spanish in Latin-America, Mexico, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. And I am well aware of Oral Tradition, so obviously an entire ocean in between 2 groups of people will change certain ways of saying things. Thank you for this information, and have a nice evening!

Re: What's wrong with you people?

I'm so glad I was taught that whatever's worth saying can be said in the language we're using now so why bother to learn some micro-vocabulary savage tongue. Nevertheless some old languages were available. For some reason I was excused Latin so am interested in which of all those variants do Romish heretics use for their doggerel?

[Maria-Rosa]

Re: What's wrong with you people?

It's a descendant of Latin just as Spanish, Italian, Romanian, French, etc. However, due to language contact it does have more similarities with Spanish and French. But never say to a Catalan that his/her language is a mixture of something else. You might end up with a few loose teeth.

Also, don't tell a Catalan that Valencian is a different language. From their point of view it's just a dialect of Catalan. But no self-respecting Valencian person would ever accept that - again, you would be in danger of loosening your front teeth.

FYI:

Thank you! I find this really interesting, so I will continue to learn more about this on my own time, as you probably have better things to do with your time! Thanks again and Have a nice evening!

Re: What's wrong with you people?

As for Spanish. Well, first of all, there are different languages in Spain: Valencian, Basque, Catalan, Galician, and - last but not least - what kids in school learn as Spanish. So in some Latin American countries people refer to the last language as castellano, since it originates in Castile-la Mancha.

Second, as Brother Gonzalez has mentioned, there are plenty of varieties of castellano. I've not heard a person not living in Spain using vosotros; people in each region have a different way to pronounce "ll;" there are words which mean different things in different areas (such as wawa/guagua*, which depending on the area means a baby or a bus); and also there are words which are unique to a specific area (for example llajua/llajwa**, which is the best human invention since agriculture).

I hope that was helpful, María.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the best invention of humanity is the Hamaca Paraguaya.

NO!!! It's a deadly contraption which is practically impossible to get into.

On the other hand, a well-made llajwa burns both on the way in and out, cleaning all the guts on its way.

Re: What's wrong with you people?

Indeed, Brother. For English and American, it's enough to listen to a BBC broadcast side-by-side with Godly Rush Limbaugh. Only a deaf person couldn't hear the difference.
