Maranatha

This word? [image]

Yes....this word. What do you think of this word? You have given one interpretation of this word. There are others. But if I could draw your attention to the answer you posted....in was contrived.....from what? What group of people would want you to 'believe' that was the only meaning of the word? Has there been others who used that same word for other meanings? Mara natha Maran atha - this is the one you chose.....interesting....yes? Marana tha Ma ran atha You get the point.....others have used this word...it is a brilliant word. Does one group of people get to coopt a word and then call it their own? Cultural Appropriation - laughable word. Q - Do you know what this word means? A - No....I'm not an asshole. 😅 Or does the power of a word belong to *usage among the population?* Who makes these decisions? As we go forward into the future, Ai will be misusing the English language more than it does now. It would be good if more people were cognizant of the manipulation at play in real time....the degradation of truth or even factual information. We were lied to about the nature of the English language, the grammar rules and the spelling system....all tilted by morons. Academics are not necessarily 'intelligent'...in fact....some of the dumbest, stupidest people walking this planet are highly educated 'academics'.  Remember....many academics love Ai....it lets them 'feel' intelligent. 😅 Many who use Ai, are aware of this pattern.....perhaps they use Ai with Intelligent restraint. Something like that. And language and communication, regardless what some DEI Education Minister may say.....is not 'what ever you want it to be." The lack of integrity in the language and its usage.....what is the Potential Good here? Not sure if you are old enough to remember.... How do you spell phone? Look it up in the dictionary? ??? How do I look for it? Sound it out. fone....nope....not in the dictionary. 🤣 What if Maranatha literally meant....Potential Good. What is the Potential Good inside you, and how best might you be able to share that with others? And here we are. Maranatha😇

I was just asking, if that is the word you are speaking of. And then what definition were you using. I've never looked the word up till now and that is what google told me. Then I asked to make sure if this is what you were meaning. "What if Maranatha literally meant....Potential Good." But it doesn't. You could have used the words Potential Good, but you used Maranatha, which doesn't mean potential good. I feel like you really like this word.

Yes....you were just asking....and asking a good question. Greatly appreciated. All good. *"What if Maranatha literally meant....Potential Good."* But it doesn't. *You could have used the words Potential Good, but you used Maranatha, which doesn't mean potential good.* Actually, it does mean potential good....even in English translation. The historical usage of this word was/is not singular in purpose...or usage. In has an algorithm of patterns...each one a different meaning. Even down to alliterative patterns of homonym and homophone. This is technical, but accurate....the pronunciation changes the meaning in the same way a homophone like bear - animal, bear - endure, bare - naked. These sound the same with different meaning. These sound different, with the same spelling - tear - eye drops   tear - rip In ancient times.....people would have used 'coded' words to distinguish in group and outgroups. Did he say....Mara natha or Mar ana tha? This well is deep.  Well worth exploring. And here we are. Peace.😇
