Days of the week -
02-24-2010, 07:18 PM
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 Tżr, the old Icelandic god of war.
Wednesday means the day of Woden (Óšinn), 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

As a practicing wiccan, I'm proud of it! However, my "true christian" neighbours here in Freehold will be less pleased by this information. Awesome!
An it harm none, do what thou wilt.
And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honour and humility, mirth and reverence within you.
Why I'm no longer a Christian: how the Landover Baptist Church ruined my life!

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"
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

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

What it means is that the Norse picked the names of their gods out of a calendar.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

No, the Pagan Trash is right, those days of the week come from the Norse gods, it is a simple matter of linguistics. However to imply that we are worshiping there pagan gods by still using the words is stupid on his part.

No, he is wrong. Unfortunately Iceland does not have education so everyone there is ignorant.

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.

All anyone needs to know about so-called, "linguistics" is contained in
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.
