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.

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.

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).
