Eze 20:27

"Therefore, son of man, give the people of Israel this message from the Sovereign Lord: Your ancestors continued to blaspheme and betray me, 28 for when I brought them into the land I had promised them, they offered sacrifices and incense on every high hill and under every green tree they saw! They roused my fury as they offered up sacrifices to their gods. They brought their perfumes and incense and poured out their drink offerings to them! 29 I said to them, `What is this high place where you are going?' (This idol shrine has been called Bamah-`high place'-ever since.)

30 "Therefore, give the people of Israel this message from the Sovereign Lord: Do you plan to pollute yourselves just as your ancestors did? Do you intend to keep prostituting yourselves by worshiping detestable idols? 31 For when you offer gifts to them and give your little children to be burned as sacrifices,* you continue to pollute yourselves to this day.

:headscratch: Do they ever read this stuff?

I certainly hope they darken the door of a Church more often than they darken the seats of Tuberville Field @ bds!

No, the sad thing will be when wincrimson comes on here and tries to tell us that they will always be Bamah, and that the Lord declared them MNCs in AD 60. Therefore, they are sovereign from God.

Someone is going to buy that T-shirt and wear it around having NO CLUE the context. Idiot rednecks will ACTUALLY believe it is a sign that God is on their side. THAT is truly sad.

The etymology of the word or name, Alabama, has evoked much discussion among philological researchers. It was the name of a noted southern Indian tribe whose habitat when first known to Europeans was in what is now central Alabama. One of the major waterways in the state was named for this group and from this river, in turn, the name of the state was derived. The tribal name of Alabama was spelled in various ways by the early Spanish, French, and British chroniclers: Alabama, Albama, Alebamon, Alibama, Alibamou, Alibamon, Alabamu, and Allibamou. The appellation first occurs in three of the accounts of the Hernando de Soto expedition of 1540: written Alibamo by Garcillasso de la Vega, Alibamu by the Knight of Elvas, and Limamu by Rodrigo Ranjel (in the last form, the initial vowel is dropped and the first m is used for b, the interchange of these two consonants being common in Indian languages). The name as recorded by these chroniclers was the name of a subdivision of the Chickasaws, not the historic Alabamas of later times.

The popular belief that Alabama signifies "Here We Rest" stems from an etymology given wide currency in the 1850s through the writings of Alexander Beauford Meek. However, the first known use of this derivation appeared earlier in an unsigned article in a July 27, 1842, issue of the Jacksonville Republican. Experts in the Muskogee dialect have been unable to find any word or phrase similar to Alabama with the meaning "Here We Rest."

According to some investigations, the tribal name Alabama must be sought in the Choctaw tongue, as it is not uncommon for tribes to accept a name given them by a neighboring tribe. Inquiry among the early Indians themselves appears to have yielded no information about the meaning of the word. The Rev. Allen Wright, a Choctaw scholar, translated the name as thicket clearers, compounded of Alba meaning "a thick or mass vegetation," and amo meaning "to clear, to collect, to gather up."

Job 41:8-11

Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle, and do so no more.

9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Won't one be cast down even at the sight of him?

10 None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?

11 Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.

I think they're claiming to be God now. I think that's called Blasphemy.

I've been involved in ministry for a long time...and I've never liked "Christian" t-shirts. This HAS TO BE the worst example of it I've ever seen - and no, not b/c it's bammer. Please, please, please, please let there never ever ever be anything remotely close to this with Auburn on it. My goodness, how cheesy...and totally out of context.

:au:

Appreciate the research you did there, JohnDeere. Let's cut to the chase & bring the meaning forward to the present: "thick or mass vegetation clearing/collecting/gathering up" translates to Kudzu Harvesters in the modern parlance.

But I think some of them did a pretty good job of darkening their pants in the seats of Jordan-Hare Stadium last November! :lol:
