About: The Greek noun ῥῆμα "saying, utterance, verb, word" is analyzed as consisting of the root ἐρ-/ῥε- (er-/rhe-) "say" (cf. εἴρω "I say"; ἐρῶ "I will say") and the suffix -μα (-ma), a suffix used to form nouns from verbs. In the New Testament, this noun is used in such instances as 1 Peter 1:25: “τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα Κυρίου μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα” i.e. “the Lord's utterance/saying remains forever”, or more commonly, "the word of the Lord endureth for ever". Both Plato (c. 428–347 BC) and Aristotle (384–322 BC) used the terms logos, rhema and onoma. In Plato's usage, a logos (often translatable as a sentence) is a sequence in which verbs are mingled with nouns and every logos must have an onoma and rhema. For Plato, every logos was either true or false and in a logos, names included rhema which denotes actions and onoma a mark set on those who do the actions. Aristotle identified three components as central to the proposition: onoma, rhema and logos. These terms are translated differently depending on the context of the discussion - grammar or logic, as in the table on the right. But it was only in the 12th century that grammarians began to think in terms of units we understand as subject and predicate.In Christianity, rhema is used in Bible study to signify Jesus Christ's utterance. The Greek word rhema is useful to distinguish between two meanings of word. While both rhema and logos are translated into the English word, in the original Greek there was a substantial distinction. Rhema is Christ's utterance, while Logos refers to Christ himself. “The words [rhema] that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63).

BARNARD AND INTERVARSITY PRIDE

humansofnewyork:

Outsider’s perspective: A man walks up to this young woman, and asks for her photograph. She agrees. The man backs up, bumps into a few people, but manages to get the shot. He returns to the young woman, shakes her hand, and exchanges a few pleasantries. The man then hands her a business card. The young woman looks at the business card. Then lots, and lots, and lots of hugging.
I get pretty emotional around those HONY fans.

Dear HONY,
Hi, I’m a Columbia student and I’d like to tell you about the head of the classics department up here at Columbia in Morningside Heights. Her name is Gerry Visco and she doubles as a writer for the New York Post. She is the most eccentric, real, no bullshit, and indeed, CRAZY lady I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Just google “Gerry Visco” to see what I mean. She goes around the city and hosts all sorts of alternative parties and writes about them. She has the most unique and loudest fashion sense of anyone I know. It’s crazy, you walk up the the 6th floor of Hamilton hall and enter her office and just see all of these bottles of vodka and weird knick-knacks all over the place. You see this huge iMac and this forest of pink hair strands flowing in every which direction behind it. This is her head. She curses, she yells, she calls people out, yet shes one of the nicest, and most honest people I’ve ever known. If anyone deserves to be on HONY, it’s Geraldine Winifred Visco. She is intertwined with the history of New York City. Name a famous New York celebrity, and she can tell you about some time back in the 70s or 80s when she met them. I don’t know how you’d catch her on the street though. I would suggest walking right into Hamilton Hall and going up to the 6th floor and just talking to her. She’d LOVE the attention.

Although Cracked recently pointed out a rather terrifying implication about the ending of The Iron Giant (1999), I’m still loving Miles Pierre’s above fan art.

‘Why did you do all of this for me?’ he asked.
‘I don’t deserve it. I’ve never done anything for you.’

‘You have been my friend,’ replied Charlotte.
‘That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what’s a life anyway? We’re born, we live a little while, we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.’
