How is it different.

My personal view is that America is special. The name means 'House of Eternal Love' for it is Gods house. It is ruled by the district of Columbia which means 'to rule the land of a dove'.

Where do you get this?

A love of words that came from knowing the Word of God. Personal study that led to personal conviction. You don't have to agree nor accept what I believe to be true.

If you will have it, it comes from studying sections of words across languages and how they operate together to give a meaning to a name or word used to name something.

Am is love

Eric is eternal

a is what gives embodiment (see rotund vs routunda)

District means to rule over in a sense of limiting or governance

Columb from latin word for dove

ia is ending given to nations

There is also a constellation called columbia or the dove.

Seek and ye shall find....knock and it shall be opened unto you!

 

 

Dissecting words and examining the meanings of the pieces is simply not how word meanings are determined  Not sure where you got this but it's bogus.  Or just someone's opinion.  You know what they say about opinions.......

[AnythingIsPossible]

Why would the Lord hide something that was meant to be known behind so many years of study ?

 

Sometimes people take what is obvious, that America in recent history has been afforded opportunities, power and wealth that are the envy of many nations and perhaps has sqaundered them this is no secret, i don't have to study any meanings of words to understand that.

 

But if you enjoy the study then that's fine power to your study time.

I agree to disagree with you thank you

While I think that waxing poetic about things is great, I simply don't understand anything but facts. I agree with 'seek and ye shall find'.  So I sought and I found......

 

From earlyamerica.com:

In a further twist of events, America was named after Amerigo Vespucci, a 15th century Florentine merchant who owned a business in Seville, Spain, furnishing supplies for ships, preparing them for mercantile expeditions.

 

From knowswhy.com:

The capital of the U.S. is referred to as the District of Columbia, or Washington, D.C.  By approval of the U.S. Congress, “D.C.,” or the District of Columbia, is considered not part of any state including Maryland or Virginia where it was formerly.  Because of its name, many people have wondered why the capital district is called the District of Columbia.  This particular area is referred to as the District of Columbia because of its former name “Territory of Columbia.”  The old term was a reference to “Columbia” which is considered a poetic term or female reference for the U.S. at that particular point in history.  This term also has its roots in Christopher Columbus who is considered the discoverer of the American continent.

I do not disagree with this. This is all good information. It doesn't change anything I said though. My claim isn't that people knew what they were doing when they named them but I believe God had another purpose in it. When Abraham took Hagar it wasn't Gods idea but rather Sarahs. He had no idea God was going to use it as allegory of the two covenants. We know only little. I believe as I have said. You believe I am wrong. I am OK with that. I could be :-) Thanks for the discussion.

Can I ask how is gay marriage in our country different then the other countries that made it legal. They don't seem to be going through any judgement or any trials, and they had it for a very long time. Why do some people seem to think our country is in more danger then the others.

 

26)  For this cause God give them up unto vile affections: for even their woman did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27)  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use f the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was met.

Romans 1:26-27

Just because we don't see these other countries being judge yet doesn't mean they aren't or won't be for God is longsuffering willing that all should come to repentance.

 

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should to repentance.

II Peter 3:9

Well, you're entitled to believe anything you want but, IMO, it's best to know facts about things.  I'm not sure what Abraham and Hagar have to do with anything but hey, you march to your own drum I guess.

Look at Europe. They have lost their religion. They are being over run by Muslims. Their economies are in shambles. Terror attacks are frequent. And you don't think that this is in any way related to the moral decline (including gay marriage) in these nations?

[Estrella]

Malaysia is also facing this issue

I am baffled to why the focus is on something else rather than the OP. N too often everyone gets angry n start arguing. Come on guys... No offense but please...others would laugh at us.
