myth /miTH/
noun
noun: myth; plural noun: myths
1. a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events.

>> No.5316934

>>5316929
2. a widely held but false belief or idea.

>>5316929
>>5316934
I was obviously referring to the first definition. Learn to context.

>> No.5316943

>>5316938
How would I know? The term myth is still generally held to mean the idea is false. Please be more sensitive to my beliefs.

>> No.5316948

>>5316943
0/10

>> No.5316958

>>5316740
Genesis, Judges, Kings 1 & 2, Samuel 1 & 2

and maybe Acts. The OT is better as literature than the NT. Maybe Hebrew is just a better language than biblical Greek.

every time

Also,
>avoid awkward contractions like s/he
>our own pronoun(s)
So they made up a hundred different pronouns to address all their imaginary queer friends, yet they can't invent a simple dual?

This is the only acceptable translation.
