Days of the week
Why do you still call the days of the week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday? Do you not realise that calling the days by those names is pagan worship?
Tuesday means the day of Tır, the old Icelandic god of war. Wednesday means the day of Woden (Óğinn), the old Icelandic Head god. Thursday means the day of Thor, the old Icelandic god of thunder. Friday means the day of Frige (Frigg), the old Icelandic Head goddess. Saturday means the day of Saturn, a old Roman god. Icelanders stopped calling the days by pagan names in the early middle ages... I find it quite amusing that you still do:D |

Re: Days of the week
Children, the 'days of the week' were created by God, not thousands of years later by drunk guys wearing hats eating blubber. Honestly, do you think we got an eskime education?
Typical icelandic learning time: "OPlaf, can I eat that?" "No Gorf, that is dog poo, eat this, it is rotted blubber" |

You are correct that those are what the names originated as, but that does not mean keeping those words in use is a form of pagan worship. If you want to make it that way, there are tons of words in the English language that originate from other languages, in fact, the entire English language is based on different languages. What your saying is that using a word from another society means you are following what that society did. Thats untrue. That would be like saying oh you use the word taco, you must be mexican. God gave us the days of the week, it doesnt matter how we named them, as long as we follow his word |
Re: Days of the week
What it means is that the Norse picked the names of their gods out of a calendar. :rofl:

Re: Days of the week
I don't even know if they got it from the calendar. Really I mean just because Thurs sorta sounds like Thor that means it's really Thors day? And how do they get Odin out of Wednesday?
It's just more liebral lies if you ask me. :thumbdown: |

Ge:11:4: And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Ge:11:5: And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. Ge:11:6: And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Ge:11:7: Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. Ge:11:8: So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Ge:11:9: Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. |
