This is why I always prefer to use 'charity' rather than 'love'. I think charity has a far wider meaning than the modern meaning it typically bears. It definitely includes mercy, imo. I think we've somewhat diminished 'charity' in this day and age which is a shame.
But I suppose the exact word that is used is less important than understanding what is really being said.

It's hard for me to be precise with words, but I think you get my point.
I translate Mercy as a human quality. And Charity is an activity for the benefit of someone, a charitable attitude. Charity as the highest expression of Love also makes sense.

oh my goodness, hope! That isn't what I meant at all. I'm really sorry, that isn't the point I was making. Your English language skills are perfectly fine. No problem at all with your choice of vocab.

I grew up in an era where the 1611 King James (KJV) bible was the standard bible across the UK. And in all state schools a daily Christian assembly was the norm. All the bible readings were done from the KJV. So you grew up with that language as part of your culture regardless of whether you had any interest in Christianity. It was just there.

Corinthians 13 is one of my fave letters in the bible and, bc I was brought up on KJV, that is the version I am drawn to when I want to read it / quote it / think about it. In my lifetime, modern translations have taken centre stage which is fine and proper. I have no problem with that. I understand why 'charity' is now translated as 'love' and it might even be more accurate. I'm not exactly a Biblical scholar, lol. But I think it has a much narrower meaning than charity. But, that said, charity nowadays also has a much narrower meaning in society than it did in my childhood, for example.

Apologies for the TED talk length explanation. I'm really just trying very hard to emphasise that I wasn't referring to your English language skills or vocab choices. I was only talking about changes in the culture of biblical translation and pointing out why I prefer the KJV version of that particular bible chapter. The language and imagery of Corinthians 13 in KJV language is so beautiful, imo.

Suppose to be checking out that blokes thread And i see this thread being updated i come straight back like a moth to a flame
[ ok im going now lol

I'm glad you liked it)
The most interesting thing is that a few days ago was just this holiday of Faith, Hope, Love and Sophia and I really wanted to write about it here, but I doubted if it was a good idea and erased the draft. But today I saw this post @zinniabooklover and remembered about this holiday and it turned out to be a very interesting exchange.
That's why I love this place, there are such nice unexpected moments here ))))))

:/
Wait wait i can do better~~ watch me go emo kid !~~

Those memories will always
Haunt me like a ghost
To put it nicely I hope you choke
A poet of swords but I'm not enuff
To give you an eyesore
It's hard to swallow
With your hands around my throat
I'm sick and tired of, 'Take it off'
You can call me at home
But I know better
Than to answer the phone
When people ask about
The last time that we spoke
I let the stitches do the talking
For the most part
And I leave out how you threw
A lamp through my front window
Just burn the photographs
And bury all the pages that we knew
In short this is a long goodbye
To unexpecting you
Just place all the mine items in the bag
And bury all the pages that we knew
In short this is a long goodbye
To unexpecting you
Even if I spend 2024 listening
To Gnr in my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111111111111

@@mjfanatic777 Hi yep I do because i do but No zin @zinniabooklover is right , my god zin you took me back reading that , well explained there
yeah we have the harvest festival which children [ and this was mostly in primary as i recall in assemblies ,] would have to take a tin of food , maybe beans and or fruit and veg , cereal, nuts - and put it on a ledge basically , and then it gets taken its like a donation you could take anything on that list back then long as it was food, I would come home with a lonnnnng list and it would cause all kinds of problems ~ and it was huge in the 80s in my primary school yeah , It was very pressured to do that in my school. Mr Else. who looked like Dave from Nirvana pretty much made us do it.

Who’s Mr Else?

Hope is the last one.

“Hope is the last thing that dies in man;
and though it be exceedingly deceitful,
yet it is of this good use to us,
that while we are traveling through life
it conducts us in an easier and more pleasant way
to our journey's end.”

François de La Rochefoucauld​

I would love to see it if you wanted to have another go. I'm sure it would be interesting.

@hope
I think this might be an American image.

 

[zinniabooklover]

@hope

I assume this is more of a familiar image for you. Although the colours seem awfully bright, to me.

 

[Agonum]

Got me thinking. We have an Orthodox feast of saints Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia (meaning Wisdom). I love how the holiday unites all four of these values (important concepts). And by that logic, Wisdom is the eldest.
And these names are still used. There are girls with these names.

Love and Hope? Not too common names, are they? Faith I’ve seen, but never in my neck of the woods (British? Northern American?), while Sophia (Sofia, Sofie, etc.) is a common name in many parts of the world. That’s my view, from my Swedish experience. Now fill in the blanks, please!

Wisdom being older than faith, hope, and love… wow, that’s really deep stuff!

The irony is that I don't really know English, auto-translator helps me))) I of course try to check several times, pick up words, but I feel insecure. So I will be grateful and understand if you point out not incorrect things (if there will be any)
And your knowledge is impressive, the way you research issues in depth is very interesting. And I ❤ TED)))))

 

[Agonum]

Mercy is a very important value and human quality. Probably the highest manifestation of Love is mercy, I think so)))))

Yes. It incorporates forgiveness, too.

How about righteousness?

 

[Agonum]

offtopic girls , there are a few leak threads [because i don't look at all that stuff,i don't like ' leaks'~ annoying ] which irk me, but they keep popping up so i keep replying LOL

I haven't seen any mistakes so far. Auto-translator is doing a great job, lol.

Seriously, though. Your posts are fine. Perfectly fine.

I found this very interesting. Thought you might, also.

"The turquoise beaded cross, anchor and heart on this charm from Brittany symbolise the Christian virtues of faith, hope and charity, which are mentioned in Paul the Apostle’s First Epistle to the Corinthians, the seventh book of the New Testament of the Bible.

According to The Catholic Encyclopedia, Faith, Hope and Charity were also the names of three noble sisters who lived in Italy during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian (AD 117–138). Raised by their mother Sophia (meaning Wisdom) to be pious and devout Christians, Pistis, Elpis and Agape (Faith, Hope and Charity in Greek) were brought before the Emperor when they were just twelve, ten and nine years old. They were ... killed ... and ... buried on the Via Aurelia, a Roman road that ran from Rome to Pisa. Sophia wept over their graves for three days, before joining them in death. The memories of these child martyrs and their mother are celebrated on 17 September in the Eastern Orthodox Church."

Righteousness is rather Love for God, which is expressed by his adherence to religious precepts. When a person proves by deeds that he honors God.
What do you think?

Yes, it's a powerful story.
We have this holiday on September 30th, not the 17th, (it's moved two weeks later)
It is curious that in the Middle Ages this day was considered a holiday of women. In Russia, this holiday was otherwise known as the universal women's name day.

On September 30, it is customary to make pilgrimage trips to the relics of Saints Vera, Hope and Love. The main place of worship used to be the church in the small town of Echaux in the south of France, but later the relics of the martyrs were moved to the Champ de Mars in Paris.
