A question about nuns.

[didymos]

(...)
Vatican comes from the name of the hill in Rome where the office of the Pope is. It was the location of the tomb of Peter. It has nothing to do with devils.

That still doesn't explain where the WORD 'Vatican' comes from.

'The Vatican Hill takes it name from the Latin word Vaticanus, a vaticiniis ferendis, in allusion to the oracles, or Vaticinia, which were anciently delivered here.'

So basically evil spirits were evoked there, like there are today.

Alexander's Hislop's The Two Babylons is a deep study on pagan Catholicism. Starts with the Tower of Babel, Nimrod and his mother Samerimus. He dies and Samerimus declares him and her self a god and goddess. They erected statues of her holding baby Nimrod of which Constantine later changed the names to Mary and Jesus, along with other pagan god statues that were changed to NT saint names.
Every false god and goddess can be traced back to these two.
Nino is just another name such as Baal, bul, bel. One note, Baal is where we get the word bell from. Remember that next time you hear the church bells ringing. Also the steeple is derived from the Tower of Babel. Yep folks, we are drenched in paganism. And when Luther broke away from the Catholic Church, he kept some of the pagan ideas of which he bequeathed to us unto this hour.
Back to niño. The word nun is a derivative of this pagan deity.
I could go on and on here. I wish I could remember everything I studied on the subject.

I know the word Vatican came from the Latin vaticanos which means dwelling place of devils.
The head gear the pope wears came from the fish god I believe the philistine priest wore. The crocodile head had a play in it as well. Maybe Egyptian priests. Gets kinda complicated.
One thing for sure. None of this stuff can be found in the bible. Not even the catholic bible.

[h=1]Origin of the word "Vatican"[/h]15/07/09 16:07 Filed in: Social | Perception
In the introduction to the book "The Sistine Secrets," it explains that the word "vatika" comes from the pre-Roman Etruscan word for 1) a hallucinogenic plant, 2) a bitter grape that made bad Etruscan wine and 3) the Etruscan goddess who guarded the necropolis on vatican hill. The word vatika subsequently became latin for "prophecy" (referring to female oracles called "Vaticinia") that were connected to these three things. The area which is now St. Peters thus became known as the "Ager Vaticanus" or Vatican Hill. Today, the Italian verb "to prophesize" is "vaticanare", deriving from the Latin. Further, the word "vat" refers to a large tub or cask for storing or holding liquids (such as wine). We might wonder if the grail that held the wine at the Last Supper was holy because it was filled with hallucinogenic vatika wine.

The deeper origin of the word vatika relates to the "tika" or "tikal" dot or jewelry Hindu women (only) place on their forehead to indicate the third eye. The word "tika" then corresponds to the pineal gland (that looks like a pine cone) which is actually an embedded eye with retina in the center of the brain. In more primitive animals the pineal gland has a cornea and locates closer to the top of the skull (corresponding to the Hindu crown chakra) and is thought to help regulate biological activities. In addition to melatonin, the pineal gland is thought to produce a molecule known as DMT (DiMethylTryptamine) which is the most powerful hallucinogen known to exist and appears to be related to dreaming and near-death experiences (see Rick Strassman's book "DMT: The Spirit Molecule"). So, vatika as an entheogenic plant [magic mushrooms or possibly acacia fruit - see below] would then be concerned with the third eye and psychedelic experiences. The swastika symbol found in the Hindu Vedas, Greece and around the world could then refer to the swirling tika, or the vortex ("spirit") said to emanate into or out of the crown chakra in Hindu beliefs. Gives a whole new spin to the term "Holy See" for the Vatican, does it not?

Now it happens that Hindu monasteries are also called vatika. This raises the question could the pre-Roman Etruscans have based their religion on Hinduism and learned how to stimulate the third eye through entheogenic plants? Given that the Vatican was once a vatika for Vaticinia women (probably from India) who drank from a vat of vatika wine to hallucinate through their swas-tika, most religions may well have been derived from ancient Indian shamanism that incorporated entheogenic herbs. The book "Persephone's Quest" seems to support this idea.

The Vatican is an official name for the Holy See. The word comes from the hill which predates Christianity.

The hill was located outside of Rome and was a burial ground. It was named for a Roman god.

The torah was written in Hebrew, I am certain nun was used hundreds of times if not thousands.

Do people really believe this stuff?
The Holy See is located on Vatican hill, which has nothing to do with hallucinogenic plants. That someone would take the ENGLISH word vat and make it something about wine shows how gullible people are.

The deeper origin of the word vatika relates to the "tika" or "tikal"

We can pretty much just stop there. It's not called "Vatika". It's Vaticanus. If tika or tikal are actual Hindi terms they have nothing to do with Italy because India was not discovered by Europeans until the 1500s.

Nun was used 100 or a 1000 times... that makes no sense.

Nun is referenced in I Chr 7:27 as the father of Joshua. Nun is shown there to be a descendant of Ephraim, one of the sons of Abraham and the founder of the tribe of Ephraim. All other references are to Joshua, son of Nun. The complete blood line of Ephraim is given in I Chr 7:20 Now unless Nun had daughters and they would be the daughters of Nun making them Nuns daughter I see no other references to Nun with this exception.

Oh and don't forget it is a Hebrew letter

That's an english pronunciation of a hebrew word, so there is no relation

???????????????? no relation to what

Last, can't you take a joke? He's joking about the letter "nun" and you take is so seriously!

I was going to make the same joke, but you beat me to it!

I have an old college friend who is a nun. She does good things. But let's remember nuns and priests are just people, too, and sinners at that, so they aren't any more special than you or I am.

Most hills predate christianity (duh).

The hill was located outside of Rome and was a burial ground. It was named for a Roman god.

Wrong. You clearly didn't read my last post.

Try to actually address what I say instead of knocking down strawman. The hill's name comes from a Rome god, it's name predates history.

Which part did you find wrong? You actually have to say something ,you know?

That's not ignorance, that's a recognition of something that is logically incoherent.

The only thing that comes close to the nuns of Catholicism, is the vow of a Nazerite they had special rules. Not sure if never marrying was one. But they were dedicated to the service of the tabernacle/ temple.
