National Anthem in English only? How about Bible in Greek only?

[jsamuel]

I mean the Bible was originally written in Greek, right? And which is more sacred, the Bible or the National Anthem? I mean one is God's divine word and the other is a song we sing at baseball games. Yet the one that we can't translate is the one written by Key?

1. Abraham and Jesus didnt speak Greek...

[jsamuel]

6. Jesus didn't speak Hebrew either

but that was what the Old Testament was written in

8. Jesus probably spoke quite fluent Hebrew

but the language of the day was Aramaic. He most likely would have spoken in Hebrew when teaching at the temple. The bible as we know it was written in several different languages but I think the one to which the OP is referring would be the Septuagint which was in Greek.

Just for clarification...not trying to be an ass or anything...

10. Jesus spoke English.

He also had a crew-cut, and preached many sermons on the evils of long hair. Like many of our Founding Fathers, Jesus is being attacked by goal-less advocates of the attack on religious anthems. This Neil Young is a prime example.

14. no way, man...

oh wait...you were kidding ??? :)

Jesus with a crew cut...that would change a few of the crucifixes around, wouldn't it?

2. how about mass in latin only? and a nice doiley on my head and gloves?

:rofl:
ok, i'm a little tired and cranky.

4. yeah, I think this immigration thing is getting out of hand

people are really going off the edge here, just like after 9/11

people's opinion of Bush may have changed, but the xenophobia is still thick

(and I am not a proponent of illegal immigration either)

3. Yeah, because if there's one thing we need it is people having...

to take the priest/pastor/minister's word for what the book says rather than reading it themselves! :sarcasm: If you want to go back to 1300, leave me out!

5. Exactly why Martin Luther did what he did...

[emulatorloo]

7. Pay no attention to the dumbshit wedge issue

I doubt bush's nutty base cares about this one.

Now gay illegal immigrants who want to marry you son and give him an abortion, that's another matter.

[Ioo]

9. I am for that as well, because clearly no one is reading it in English...

11. How about Bush's agenda in its original German?

You know...ala Mein Kampf.

13. oohhh snap!

12. I'm sure we'll have to pass a Constitutional Amendment about it

Just waiting for them to come up with that idea...

What we really need right now is for someone to translate it into Klingon!
