talking to yourself in a mirror?
Paul Carus: “The verb means ‘to rub,’ lightly to touch the surface of a body; ‘to bedaub.’ It is commonly used in the sense of smearing the body with oil, as the Greeks were used to doing after a bath. But the idea of ‘rubbing’ is fundamental.”
Actually he is likely citing Homer's use of the verb. that is a verb. The fact of the matter it always was associated with the placement of oil as classical greek use of the same word for its leaders and 'gods' brought forth the common thread of being selected / special - I doubt your insistence on 'rub' holds for these other examples.
The noun Christos properly rendered is Rubbie.
Are you always this stupid, or are you making a special effort today?
George Sarton:
Who was hardly a biblical scholar - a humanist who's world view skewed his readings. You seem stuck in these late 18th / early 19th century humanists idov.
You don’t read ancient Greek so you don’t have the foggiest notion of what you are talking about.
Here are the unimpeachable elements of your Greek myth.
A god with a Hindi name Yeshu.
A second god with an Egyptian name Pet.Ra.
The mother of the god with a Latin name Maria.
And a title of the god which in English means Rubbie.
What century are you in? The twelfth? Get a life.
