News / Don't let Poland become like my country, France. [630]

Read the thread (and some people's posts in Random) rather than trying to argue about something that's been discussed exhaustively already today. You keep on doing this, and ought to have figured out by now that it doesn't work. You came too late into the discussion to go over the basics.


You do know that most of the biblical exegesis you've heard is far later than the world in which Christianity changed from being a small sect to a large religion? Or the discontinuity between the Jerusalemites (gone without a trace) and the Hellenistic Christians? All fairly standard stuff.


You can't talk about Christianity without that - it's central to the Theology - read St John's gospel (the first chapter will do if you can't manage all of it)

Anyway, Paulina, if you can find someone who's still prepared to talk to you and doesn't mind playing games, good luck - I'm off to bed since it's a different time zone here by Abraham/Ibrahim's birthplace.

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]

Your post comes from these same websites - and you accuse the Macedonians of being unoriginal!

Yes, that's certainly more accurate.

For the record, Poland and the UK officially use the title Republic of Macedonia.

Read the thread carefully - if you still don't understand, why bother posting?


No. Theologically it comes more from other sources - read up on the logos.

Have a look at the thread


Ditto


Christianity as we know it has far more Theological influences from outside Judaism, even more than its Hellenistic founder St Paul would recognise despite his surviving attempts to reconcile it to earlier Jewish hermaneutics.

Which we've established can't be objectively described as 'Judeo-Christian'.


That process is certainly starting.


Thgis much is true


Less so than Islam, since Christian practice (and theology) has far more outside influence.

That must make all the difference.


Neither is Judaism, except by immigration or Christianity, except by proselytising. All thre come from the Middle East. And don't forget the Bosnians, Kosovars and Albanians.

If it exists at all as a valid concept. And if it does, we can't ignore Islam which is part of the same religious heritage.

Perhaps Modern Greece should be called the Former Serbian Republic of Greece (FSRoG). It has a nice sound to it.

A nice example but in every sense Christian rather than anything we can call Judeo-Christian (very much a Christian rather than a Jewish concept, by the way) - a representation of David would be anathema to religious Jews.

Worth mentioning in the context of this thread that David is an important figure for Muslims also. Like Judaism, their religion also does not tolerate statues.

Your post above occurs verbatim in the following websites:

Most of the other nationalistic crap you've trotted out comes similarly from various other unattributed sources. Perhaps you think that spamming the internet will make people believe that stuff.

Check the forum rules by the way on cut 'n' paste.

Which is a bore for everyone except extreme natiionalists in Greece, which with just a few accidents of history may well be called TFORG (The Former Ottoman Republic of Greece).

Nobody's going to do that - despite how insecure they are.


Who have little or nothing to do with the modern Greeks except for a reconstructed language.

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]


Not 'wanting to' - that's the name of their country, however much nationalists next door find that hard to deal with.

Christians, Jews and Manda.

Yes. A capital city airport with a rail link where you have to get a bus to a nearby village and wait a long time before the train leaves.

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]

None of that is relevant, except perhaps to those Greeks who feel awkward about the name of the Macedonians' country,

I doubt we'll agree on this, however I do wish you wouldn't get stressed about the inevitable. It's their choice of name and the best thing you could do is to be magnanimous rather than petty.

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]

The citizens of the republic of Macedonia, of course!

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]


It was once. Now they have the name Macedonia. That's only a problem for a very small number of people.

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]


That's neither here nor there - the modern Macedonians are the issue.


One thing to be avoided.


So you should be. But don't expect them to change overnight. Once both of you are in the EU, barriers will break down anyway and antagonism over a name will just seem a bad dream.

They were marginalised immigrants - the French riot anyway. And they certainly don't have Sharia in France.

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]


That's everything really.


Why not.


Maybe not regard it as a provocation. Even think of it as a compliment. Does your society look inwards or outwards?

News / Don't let Poland become like my country, France. [630]


Do you think religion was the motivation for those riots? After all, riots are not unknown in France.

News / Don't let Poland become like my country, France. [630]


They do not, any more than they have to respect customs of any religious group that break the law of the land. Don't be so paranoid.

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]

Yes, it's freedom. They have the freedom to choose the name of their country.

I don't suppose they're bothered too much what outsiders think.

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]


They're free to do that.

Just as the Slavic people in Macedonia are free to name their country as they wish.

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]


Is by the by. Countries cannot rest on their laurels - we are judged by the present not the past. In the case of Greece, should it be defined by the age of Sophocles or its present state?

The present day is where we (and the Macedonians) live.

History / Alexander the Great - Macedonski. Poland connection? [254]


Who's doing that? The Republic of Macedonia don't pretend to be anything other than who they are. Greeks should feel proud that someone has chosen a name connected to their disfunctional society - perhaps if they were a bit more sure of their own identity there wouldn't be this issue. Not that it's an issue at all outside Greece..

They might be available on your platform or they might not. The kind of service you get in apartment buildings might not have them. You'd need to know what satellite you're receiving signals from then check online if there are any Indian channels on that. If you can't find out that way, members of the Indian Cultural Association in Warsaw might be able to advise. Otherwise, your only option is streaming online TV and there are certainly Indian channels in various languages available online.
