Paganism in Christianity

[QUOTE=TK Burk;585902]Nice try, but you're swinging way too far out there to be making a viable point.

The word "Shekinah" is the "BASIS" for "Tabernacle"? How about the word "Tabernacle" is the basis for "Shekinah"?

Well for the sake of argument in one way I would have no problem with that OTHER thanit would be faulty facts as shekinah has evolved from shakan rather than Mishakan, but would YOU have a problem with it?

Excuse me but how long have you studied Hebrew and Aramaic?

Well I think this would actually be MY quote , at least the second half the first half being the quote of whoever I was replying to.

And I have dabbled in Hebrew and Aramaic as well as Arabic for years (actually lived in the Arabic/Aramaic/ Hebrew speaking world for close to twenty, but of course that would be Modern Hebrew as well as Modern Aramaic and there are differences granted.) But the SOURCES that I drew my quote above from are pretty much renowned and credible sources, including the Strongs Hebrew/Chaldeean reference.

I am wondering am i coming in in the middle of a discussion of someone trying to establish a goddess shekinah type deal? Because that is NOT what I am alluding to, merely presenting some definitions of the word and its etymology from some pretty reputable and widely credited sources.

But I am not tense about any of this, still just trying to figure out what I have stepped into here....
