Master Thread of Pet Peeves

[ChaimMoskowitz]

What does it mean? I am talking about literal translation.

Birth of Jesus Christ.

I had to double check my calendar, make sure it was really Thursday, not Friday.

That's what happens when you start the new year at the wrong time. 

[ExGingi]

Birth of ... Christ.

And how does that translate?

Once you can give an honest answer to that, refer back to the quote I once posted from Maimonides, and you can answer your questions yourself.

Agreed. You really have seemed a bit off since January

I gave an honest answer but that doesn't fit your argument.

[aygart]

It is a simple question. Why not show me the same curtesy I showed you by answering the simple question you asked? Are you so dishonest that you will not answer any question that doesn't support your argument 100%.

No I wouldn't write that and I took it as a rhetorical question anyhow. You knew the answer.

[ExGingi]

I gave an honest answer but that doesn't fit your argument.

I am not arguing.  You didn't answer my most recent question.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

You will never stop asking questions. If you want the "literal" translation for Jesus Christ (Christ) from me here it is. SON OF G-D!!!

Check your dictionary.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Check your dictionary.

I don't need to check any dictionary. Sorry if it doesn't fit your view.

Nothing to do with my personal view, and nothing to be sorry about. It's just a matter of translation. Though you seem to be taking this elsewhere. BTW, do you know how Christians are called in Arabic? Look it up. It's all about translating the word. If you don't have a dictionary handy, you might look here.

This is all following up on

No. But the term does mean Messiah. I believe I've quoted Maimonides before on this.

Not to you it doesn't. Christmas does not mean Messiah.

I'm out.

ETA:

I just saw this, which I imagine triggered your post. Just looks like

This seems to be more of a sensitivity of yours than the general public.

I don't get my religious beliefs from the dictionary just like you don't. If members want to keep posting with the X their is nothing I can do.

Exactly.

Next popcorn please. It's Friday here.

Pinging me on WA. 

You mean almost 24 hours ago?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

You mean almost 24 hours ago?

No like a couple minutes ago.

[davidrotts63]

No like a couple minutes ago.

You don't like getting pinged period? Or for no reason?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Period as it doesn't help.

Why doesn't it help? If the group is muted you still get notified, and you see it when looking at the group.
