Or encounter an ass of a theo opponent; one that throws insults without thinking, then qualifiers are waived. But I am bloody jewish, thats for sure...
Its a big question and i dont have time right now, if you wish, in a day or so? Maybe make another thread?
Even though this one seems like a nice shuk hapishpeshim, people discuss anything here
I'd agree with his general claims in that article, though. נצרתי natsrati looks like a good form for "someone from Nazareth." He made the one mistake at the top (notsrit), but apart from that, he's laid out pretty good information.
smart alec actually i NEVER heard it applied to christians, well, not in my presence, at least
I actually listened to a sermon yesterday online. It was from Moriel Ministries with Jacob Prasch. You can read and listen to it here. It's all about the formation of Christian cults, and I think it would make you think about what you've just asked.
From the standard Christian perspective, what you've just described is no more Christian than Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons, and these are not even standard Christian cults. There are cults within Christianity (Prasch mentions Kenneth Copeland and Kenneth Hagin as examples of cult leaders who came from within Christianity - and represent examples of those who are really Christian but also veered off into cult status). He does a good run-down of what makes a cult leader, and I think listening to it was beneficial.
(Mind you, I find his site hard to tolerate, since he advocates keeping Torah specifically for the purposes of evangelizing Jews, which I disagree with.)
Actually the letters OP used don't spell minim, there's no mem in the word.
What he spelled out was gimmel vav ayin resh yud, without vowel markings I have no idea how that is pronounced.
I went to 2 different Hebrew vocabulary websites and couldn't find that particular word listed.
Any idea what it is? Thanks.
If I ever make it to Israel, the only thing I'll be able to say for sure is "ani lo mevinah 'ivrit!"
no, OP didnt talk about minim at all , the other fellow did mention it
where do you see gimmel, sweetheart ? OP said - and Yonah the Best Linguistic Teacher In the Universe did discusss it- the word
נוצרי
what is the first letter here, tell me please?
Dont worry you will manage with basic english and a few dead presidents; just fine.
PS on a side note -now's your sleep, btw, sister? I remember you complianing about it. have you tried melatonin? helps to bring you back to normal sleeping patterns,in a few nights.
It's pretty common early on to mistake between ע and צ as well as between ג and נ. They're definitely different letters, though.
people do? oh well, no biggie.Uncle Udi mistook some floozie for his wife at my bat mitzvah, and they were much less alike the these letters.. Floozie looked like "samech" and auntie rather like a rather very bony "noon" That was a real problem! But the letters... forgivable.
Yedida, dont lose heart, keep studying and you will get it all right, dear one
It looked like a gimmel to me (bad eyesight) but it could be bet. Even as a bet or vet, I cannot handle Hebrew without vowel markings!! I'm just awed by all of you guys who can read it sans vowels.
My sleep has always been "off." Even in grammar school, I would be awake till well after 1-2am!! I'll try melatonin, is it a liquid, or vitamins?
נוצרי is nun-vav-tsadi-resh-yod. There's no bet, no gimel and no ayin in the word. It's pointed as נוֹצְרִי notsri.
The more you read Hebrew, the better you become -- even without vowels. Also, I would suggest two books for learning Hebrew without vowels: (1) A Textbook of Israeli Hebrew by Haim Rosen and (2) Hebrew from Scratch. Do that, and you'll catch on.
Yonah is just being too shy! at the rate gas goes up if you want to have spare cash you will need to trade the car in for a mule, yedida.
So before you buy books - Yonah has some great free online resources, cover those first. He is a very gifted teacher( i am being sincere, I am not flirting with him!)
If only I had a complete online grammar with exercises and helps that I could distribute. I'd love to be able to just refer you to that type of resource, but I don't have it yet. I get distracted. Right now, for instance, I'm studying Greek with the Athenaze textbook - finished level 1 in two weeks!!! My study group will begin level 2 of Athenaze after maybe a month's break (for review and refreshment). I'm also translating my way through the Apologia Sokrates in Greek. I've been working on my own Greek knowledge rather than building Hebrew exercises.
I'm also in a Hebrew book reading club here in Israel. We're working on the novel הנערה במרפסת ממול, and we read about 50 pages a week and meet every other Monday for discussion and more reading. Our next book is יונה ונער, which I've bought but haven't opened yet. I've heard parts of it are kinda sick.
I participate in my synagogue's chorus every Wednesday, leading the tenor section. That gives me some nice diversion, and I get to listen through my recordings every week to practice outside.
I'm a crazy movie enthusiast, so when I'm not studying or singing (not to mention working and administering my own forum!!), I'm watching some new movie or catching up on the most recent episode of Glee.
The result is that I don't have a load of time to devote to developing Hebrew resources right now. I feel kinda guilty for giving these excuses, but I end up with not much free time at all, especially because I just feel compelled to post on a few forum communities and join in all the excitement of the various places on the 'Net.
One of these days....... My site will be complete, and you'll have a decent Hebrew grammar with loads of exercises and helps. Be'ezrat HaShem!
Well, suppose I wished to name my son the Hebrew word for Christian, should I name them "Notsri?"It's נוֹצְרִי notsri (nohts-REE).
It's from the verb נָצַר natsar, which is a synonym of שָׁמַר shamar, meaning "keep, guard, watch."
