THE ORIGIN OF THE CHURCH TERM (HYMN)




THE ORIGIN OF THE CHURCH TERM (HYMN)

We've Been Hellenized: *Hellenize - to make Greek in character; to adopt Greek ideas, or customs; to imitate the Greeks. (See Greek, Greek Love, Gray)

Hymn (n.)
c.1000, from Old French ymne and Old English ymen, both from Latin hymnus "song of praise," from Greek hymnos "song or ode in praise of gods or heroes," used in Septuagint for various Hebrew words meaning "song praising God." Possibly a variant of hymenaios "wedding song," from Hymen, Greek god of marriage (see hymen), or from a PIE root *sam- "to sing" (cf. Hittite išhamai "he sings," Sanskrit saman- "hymn, song") http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=hymen&searchmode=none

HYMN = HYMEN

HYMEN or HYMENAEUS (Hymên or Hymenaios), the god of marriage, was conceived as a handsome youth, and invoked in the hymeneal or bridal song. The names originally designated the bridal song itself, which was subsequently personified. The first trace of this personification occurs in Euripides (Troad. 311), or perhaps in Sappho ( Fragm. 73, p. 80, ed. Neue). The poetical origin of the god Hymen or Hymenaeus is also implied in the fact of his being described as the son of Apollo and a Muse, either Calliope, Urania, or Terpsichore. (Catull. lxi. 2; Nonn. Dionys. xxxiii. 67; Schol. Vatic. ad Eurip. Rhes. 895, ed. Dindorf; Schol. ad Pind. Pyth. iv. 313; Alciphron, Epist. i. 13; Tzetz. Chil. xiii. 599.) http://www.theoi.com/Ouranios/ErosHymenaios.html



 Etymologies

From Latin hymenaeus, wedding song, wedding, from Greek humenaios, from Humen, Hymen, from humen, membrane; see hymen,Maidenhead.

Hymen(noun)a fold of muscous membrane often found at the orifice of the vagina the vaginal membraneHymen(noun)a fabulous deity according to some the son of Apollo and Urania according to others of Bacchus and Venus He was the god of marriage and presided over nuptial solemnitiesHymen(noun)marriage union as if by marriage

The derivation of the word, "hymen" is a bit more confused. This word for the vaginal membrane could come from hymnos, for wedding song, or from the Greek humen, meaning membrane, or from the god of marriage (Hyman in Greek, Hymen in Latin). It's unsure whether the god took his name from the membrane, or the membrane was named after the god. *Hero - There is a huge difference between the modern definition and the classical definition for this word. In early Greek mythology, a hero is any offspring of a mortal being with an immortal one. The Christian cross and the church (vagina) and the steeple (Penis) Represents one of the sacred marriage symbols.


A hymn is a type of song, usually religious, specifically written for the purpose of praise, adoration or prayer, and typically addressed to a deity/deities, a prominent figure or an epic tale. The word hymn derives from Greek hymnos "a song of praise".

Hymenaios (also Hymenaeus, Hymenaues, or Hymen; Ancient Greek: ?µ??a???) was a Greek god of marriage ceremonies, inspiring feasts and song. He was celebrated in the ancient marriage song of unknown origin Hymen o Hymenae, Hymen delivered by G. Valerius Catullus, which both the terms hymn and hymen are derived from..

Ancient hymns include the Great Hymn to the Aten, composed by Pharaoh Akhenaten, and the Vedas, a collection of hymns in the tradition of Hinduism. The Western tradition of hymnody begins with the Homeric Hymns, a collection of ancient Greek hymns, the oldest of which were written in the 7th century BC, in praise of the gods of Greek mythology.

African-Americans developed a rich hymnody from spirituals during times of slavery to the modern, lively black gospel style.

Now what do you think the church steeple signifies?
1. A steeple or tower in association with a place of worship was a feature of ancient paganism, oriented to sun worship and fertility cultus. A common form, especially in Egypt, followed the geometric figure known as obelisk, which in places served also as a phallic symbol. Phallic worship in ancient Greece centered around Priapus (the son of Aphrodite) ... of this filtration by placing the vulgar phallic symbol upon YOUR church roof ! http://www.remnantofgod.org/steeple.htm Steeples, the pointed roofs of churches, have been included in church buildings since the conversion of Constantine and his proclamation making Christianity the official religion of his state. The origins of steeples, however, have been traced back to several different traditions.

As Goddess-dominated religions made the YONI their holiest symbol, so God-dominated religions adored the PHALLUS. Patriarchal Semites worshiped their own genitals, and swore binding oaths by placing a hand on each other's private parts, a habit still common among Arabs.Words like TESTAMENT, TESTIFY, and TESTIMONY still "at TEST" to the oaths sworn on the TESTICLES.


John 4:22
Common English Bible (CEB)

22 You and your people worship what you don’t know; we worship what we know because salvation is from the Jews.

As Goddess-dominated religions made the YONI their holiest symbol, so God-dominated religions adored the PHALLUS. Patriarchal Semites worshiped their own genitals, and swore binding oaths by placing a hand on each other's private parts, a habit still common among Arabs.  Words like TESTAMENT, TESTIFY, and TESTIMONY still "at TEST" to the oaths sworn on the TESTICLES.

Abraham's servant swore by placing his hand "UNDER THE THIGH" of his master (Genesis 24:9) because "THIGH" was a common euphemism for "PENIS", used in superstitious fear of mentioning the divine organ directly. Myths of male psuedo-birth-like ZEUS'S FATHERHOOD of DIONYSUS-made the offspring come forth from the father's "THIGH". But the meaning was "PENIS", as in the HINDU myth that substituted the lingam for the YONI: god SUKRA (SEED) came out of the stomach of the Great God by way of his penis.

Jewish Rabbi Explains Why Baby Penis Is To Be Sucked

Jewish Talmud Recipe For Pedophilia and Murder

The Bible calls JACOB'S penis the SINEW that SHRANK, lying "upon the hollow of the thigh". Scholars have tried to interpret this limp penis as something else; a severed tendon, or a certain thigh muscle, which Jews were forbidden to eat (Gen.32:32). But medieval translators frankly recognized the PHALLIC meaning of the "SINEW". They said the god-man's blighting touch on Jacob's shrunken member was "to cool the fires of concupiscence".

Biblical patriarchs worried inordinately about the vulnerability of the penis and avoided direct mention of it lest evil spirits be drawn to it.


Old Testament laws reveal a special fear of women's power over the penis. God's commandment was that A woman who grabs a mans genitals must have her hands cut off, even if she does it to defend her husband against an enemy (Deuteronomy 25:11-12).

Why only 9/11 is so atrocious for the new world?




The last of the fullblooded abOriginal Natives of Australia, to be captured and enslaved by the white=Christian so-called new settlers.. a.k.a rather invading christian=white crusaders... anyways these black abOriginals are from the Yolngi/Yolngo tribe's of northern Australia's arnhemland...Behold the True black abOriginal Melanin-blessed Darkskinned Natives of Australia, and amongst the 1st of all human-kind to migrate out of Africa in Ancient pre-historic times of the human migrations of this world we call earth..

The native abOriginals of Australia and Papua, migrated out of north-eastern Africa between the East-African countries called Sudan, Somalia, tanzania and the african Sahara, before the Sahara desert transformed into a desert thousands upon thousands of years ago, even before Ancient Egyptian dynastical times...




When I show pictures like this, of atrocities, actual historical images, i am not infrequently told that i am stirring up hatred. sometimes even black people say this. but who accuses jewish people of stirring up hatred when they show pictures from the holocaust? Don't we also deserve to know about our history? and should not we also never forget or allow the world to forget? is our pain and suffering any less than others? or is this part of our history simply, for others at least, an inconvenient truth?

Here's a quote from Jefferson Davis "It [slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation...it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts...Let the gentleman go to Revelation to learn the decree of God - let him go to the Bible...I said that slavery was sanctioned in the Bible, authorized, regulated, and recognized from Genesis to Revelation...Slavery existed then in the earliest ages, and among the chosen people of God; and in Revelation we are told that it shall exist till the end of time shall come. You find it in the Old and New Testaments - in the prophecies, psalms, and the epistles of Paul; you find it recognized, sanctioned everywhere. "In another area of human rights, many Christian clergymen advocated slavery. Historian Larry Hise notes in his book 'Pro-Slavery' that ministers 'wrote almost half of all defenses of slavery published in America.' He lists 275 men of the cloth who used the Bible to prove that white people were entitled to own black people as work animals."

[James A. Haught, 'Holy Horrors'](I LOVE BEING AFRICAN).

"Long before the invasions of Africa by Asians and Europeans and the subsequent capture and kidnapping of African people and their forcible removal to the Americas, African people migrated as free men and women to the far corners of the earth. This had nothing to do with Pangaea or continental drift. The descendants of these ancient Africans reside by the millions today in Asia, Australia and the Pacific. These are the Black people who so astound and puzzle so many of us today because we have been programmed, some would say bamboozled, to believe that the only reason that Black people exist outside of Africa today is because of enslavement and the rape of Africa. It is time that we step out of this void of ignorance and recognize that we are a global people with rich and diverse histories."

Massacre of Buddhism: Ongiin Khiid

I had no idea, when I agreed to help my friend Susan celebrate her 50th birthday by going with her to Mongolia, that I'd end up standing in a place that would make me feel some of what I felt in Auschwitz-Birkenau: the ruins of the Buddhist temple complexes of Ongiin Khiid in the Gobi Desert.

Susan and I had just finished a three-day horse trek to the lakes of Naiman Nuur so we were mostly focused on getting a hot shower and a restaurant meal -- the short walk to see the local sites was an afterthought. And it was a pretty raucous walk at that, what with peals of laughter from three small boys who kept sneaking up behind us and then running away again when we turned to look. I bother to tell you this to explain how blind-sided I was by my feelings as I began to understand what I was looking at -- and the scale of it.

Ongiin Khiid is now mostly just the smashed remnants of two enormous monastery complexes (Barlim Khiid and Khutagt Khiid) on either side of the only year-round river that runs through Dundgovi province in southern Mongolia. They were destroyed in 1938. What's left of the original buildings and the communities that supported them are the foundations of countless buildings, a few feet of wall here, some broken bits of adornment there.

In person, the ruins of Ongiin Khiid were devastating but, because the buildings were made of the earth at the site, the vast and overwhelming scope of the wreckage is difficult to convey in photographs. There were  ruins as far as you could see. The wrecked altar alcove that once housed a Buddha icon overlooked it all. 

I cannot explain the effect of this site on me. We'd already been to two other ruined and slightly rebuilt monastery sites, Erdene Zuu (pix here) and Tuvkhen.( pix here) They were a mix of sad and hopeful, touristy and sacred, run-down and beautiful. But the raw violence of the destruction at Ongiin Khiid was still visible, still palpable, even though it happened over seventy years ago.
