Re: Hebrew is Greek! True or False?

Hi Geoirgios,
here are some answer to your questions,could not find them all,
Aegypte my understanding after some research means 'is An other World',might be wrong you tell me

The name Moses \m(o)-ses\ is pronounced MOH-ziz.  It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "saviour".

 Also possibly (Hebrew) "drawn out of the water" Biblical: name of the Hebrew infant pulled out of the River Nile and adopted by the Egyptian Pharoah's daughter.

Moses later became the great leader of the exiled Israelites.

According to the book of Exodus, Moses was born to a Hebrew mother who hid him when a Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed, and ended up being adopted into the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slave master, he fled and became a shepherd, and was later commanded by God to deliver the Hebrews from slavery.Akhenaten

Akhenaten (or rarely alt: Ikhnaton)meaning Effective spirit of Aten, first known as Amenhotep IV (sometimes read as Amenophis IV and meaning Amun is Satisfied) before his first year, was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. He is especially noted for attempting to compel the Egyptian population in the monotheistic worship of Aten, although there are doubts as to how successful he was at this. He was born to Amenhotep III and his Chief Queen Tiye and was their younger son. Akhenaten was not originally designated as the successor to the throne until the untimely death of his older brother, Thutmose.

Amenhotep IV succeeded his father after Amenhotep III's death at the end of his 38-year reign, possibly after a coregency lasting between either 1 to 2 or 12 years. Suggested dates for Akhenaten's reign (subject to the debates surrounding Egyptian chronology) are from 1353 BC-1336 BC or 1351 BC1334 BC. Akhenaten's chief wife was Nefertiti, made world-famous by the discovery of her exquisitely moulded and painted bust, now displayed in the Altes Museum of Berlin, and among the most recognised works of art surviving from the ancient world.

Aten (or Aton) was the disk of the sun in ancient Egyptian mythology, and originally an aspect of Ra. He became the deity of the monotheistic — in fact, monisticreligion of Amenhotep IV, who took the name Akhenaten. The worship of Aten seems to have ceased shortly after Akhenaten's death.

 

Heliopolis (Greek: λίου πόλις or λίουπόλις), was one of the most ancient cities of Egypt, and capital of the 13th Lower Egyptian nome. Its name also refers to an unrelated modern suburb of Cairo, also known as مصر الجديدة, Masr al-gidīdah (literally "New Egypt"). The ancient city stood five miles east of the Nile north of the apex of the Delta at عين شمس ˁAyn Šams near the Cairene suburb of al-Maariyyah; the modern city of Heliopolis is some distance away. In ancient times it was the principal seat of sun-worship, thus its name, which means town of the sun in Greek .

The city's Egyptian name (shown in hieroglyphs, right transliterated ỉwnw), is often transcribed as Iunu (literally "[place of] pillars"), and was often written in Greek as ν On, and in biblical Hebrew as אן ˀÔn and און ˀĀwen.

Heliopolis has been occupied since the Predynastic Period, with extensive building campaigns during the Old and Middle Kingdoms. Today, unfortunately, it is mostly destroyed, its temples and other buildings having been used for the construction of mediæval Cairo; most information about it comes from textual sources.

According to Diodorus Siculus Heliopolis was built by Actis, one of the sons of Helios and Rhode, who named the city after his father. While all Greek cities were destroyed during the flood, the Egyptian cities including Heliopolis survived. The chief deity of Heliopolis was the god Atum, who was worshipped in the primary temple, which was known by the names Per-Aat (pr-ˁ3t; "Great House") and Per-Atum (pr-ỉtmw; "Temple [lit. "House"] of Atum"). The city was also the original source of the worship of the Ennead pantheon, although in later times, as Horus gained in prominence, worship focused on the synchrentistic solar deity Ra-harakhty (literally Ra, (who is) Horus of the Two Horizons). During the Amarna Period, king Akhenaten introduced monotheistic or perhaps monolatric worship of Aten, the deified solar disc, built here a temple named Wetjes Aten (ws ỉtn "Elevating the Sun-disc"). Blocks from this temple were later used to build the city walls of mediaeval Cairo and can be seen in some of the city gates. The cult of the Mnevis bull, an embodiment of the god Ra, had its centre here, and possessed a formal burial ground north of the city.

As the capital of Egypt for a period of time, grain was stored in Heliopolis for the winter months, when many people would descend on the town to be fed, leading to it gaining the title place of bread. The Book of the Dead goes further and describes how Heliopolis was the place of multiplying bread, recounting a myth in which Horus feeds the masses there with only 7 loaves

Georgios!

I've just found this.

Super, super.

This is so interesting.

Like Benton, my curiosity is now stirred up.

I haven't got time right now, but I hope to come back soon with some info or thoughts.

I find it all absolutely fascinating.

I'm a Christian, but I'm not scared of finding things out.  I want to know why, where, when, who........

I will tell you, before I rush off, that I don't think the "Christian" religion is quite how Jesus meant it to be and the Bible doesn't give the full picture.

I'll have to come back.

I am 100% with that statement that you made.

For a start there are 28 books not in the bible.
If you as a minister why as I did you wil get a responce like, they are not inspired and there is no need to have them as part of the bible.

Truthfully as described by the writings and discoveries from the dead sea scrolls, you will find that those books were set aside for the so called, Learned Ones, or in other words and are believed to be help by the Vatican.

As far as what you said about the Christian religion is not qhite how Jesus meant it to be, I agree 100% on that as man has made all these different Religions out of what they want people to follow and in most cases they want to control people in the religion, they follow.

Hi Sarah, In reference to what you just said here in the forum,"I'm a Christian, but I'm not scared of finding things out. I want to know why, where, when, who........ I will tell you, before I rush off, that I don't think the "Christian" religion is quite how Jesus meant it to be and the Bible doesn't give the full picture." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * May I suggest a book which you can order from Amazon.com or maybe even find in your library. It's called, 'The Lost Books of the Bible'. You see originally when the Catholic or early Christian scholars put together what is now known as the Bible, there were "126 Scrolls", not "66". The other 60 were banned for over 1500 years, circa 400-450 A.D. or so until the late 1970's. They have since been translated into english and many other languages as well, and the book worldwide has entrusted quite a large following, both Christian AND non-Christian alike. I have read parts of it, but not all of it. I liken this to trying to look at a puzzle picture with only half of the pieces completed. You may get a good idea of what is being said, but some important details are more than likely missing. I also understand that of the 60 scrolls, there are 2 by Judas which paint a whole different picture of the man; 4 by Jesus Christ himself (what, they banned words of the Son of God?); 2 more by King Solomon, 2 or 3 by Enoch, and 4 or 5 more by Moses. If you read this book it will not turn you against the Christians, as some would suggest, nor does it fill you with words of the Devil, as written by uninspired men, but rather should bring you a whole new strength of holinesss as you ingest the rest of God's teaching, and use it to re-enforce that which you already know. Let me know if this helps in the future, and I will try to find it again myself, as I know our local library has it. Will talk to you later. By the way, did you read my gardening tips? - Your Friend, Benton

Hello Georgios and everyone else! also!

I am going to spend the time it takes to read this forum thread.... it is very interesting and much here is of interest to me...

I haven't a comment because I just started looking through the discussion.... but from the earliest commetns of Hebrew and Greek.... there isn't a mention

of Aramaic... which is supposed to be the language that was spoken by people who lived at the time of Christ in that area of the world... but I suspect that will come up later in the discussion!

I'm looking forward to a wonderful evening with this topic!

Beth
