Black Spirituality Religion : WHAT is a Jew? THAT is the Question...

Crunchy Stuff,
Wow!!! What you are saying is true in all essence :toast:

According to the Bible and history, Israelis, by name and occupation, are to own what God has given them.

No one could have been chosen to break these truths down but you, trust.

nfinite....
You have become a self-appointed "yes man," and - quite surprisingly - a comedian...:D
 
The Original Sentence:

Palestine, then, is designated in the Bible by more than one name..."


Aqil's changed sentence:

"Palestine is designated in the Bible by more than one name."

Merriam Webster's dictionary definition of the word THEN:


Main Entry: 1then
Pronunciation: '[th]en
Function: adverb
Etymology: Middle English than, then then, than, from Old English thonne, thænne; akin to Old High German denne then, than, Old English thæt that
Date: before 12th century

1 : at that time
2 a : soon after that
: next in order of time
walked to the door, then turned b : following next after in order of position, narration, or enumeration : being next in a series
first came the clowns, then came the elephants>c : in addition : BESIDES
then there is the interest to be paid

3 a (1) : in that case
take it, then, if you want it so much (2) -- used after but to qualify or offset a preceding statement <she lost the race, but then she never really expected to win> b : according to that
: as may be inferred <your mind is made up, then c : as it appears : by way of summing up

the cause of the accident, then, is established> d : as a necessary consequence
if the angles are equal, then the complements are equal>
- and then some : with much more in addition <would require all his strength and then some

When the author of the post uses the word THEN, his meaning is the meaning of definition 3, BY WAY OF SUMMING UP. We can be assured of this because it is the authors CONCLUDING sentence.

A sentence which always sums up the last paragraph and begins the next.

Aqil removing that one word changes the whole meaning of what the author was trying to say.

Very crafty of you, to remove that word, Aqil.
