Talk:Maranatha

noteworthy?
There are many organizations using the word "Maranatha" in their title. The name "Maranatha" is by no means limited to a single "movement". There are many churches using this in their title. For example, the one I'm attending happens to use this word in their title. The popularity of the name led to some family members to assume the mistakes of another "Maranatha" church to be automatically the one I'm attending - which of course isn't the case.

Sorry to nitpick, but it needed to be said.


 * Agreed. The entire "In Popular Culture" actually falls under WP:TRIVIA and WP:NOTABILITY and needs to be removed. I'll see to it. אמר Steve Caruso 18:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

dispute on translation & sources

 * Not sure where Harry gets his info from, (Note [1] hyperlink) but in reading his article I looking up one of his quoted verses 1COR 10:13 and Harry's UPPER CASED rendition does not even remotely resemble my NAB version which is "10:13 No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it." Beware.

The above note may be valuable, but tone jarringly non-encyclopedic. Perhaps add cite with a date? Add {cn} note?

Occurences?
Also, it is worth mentioning that the first sentence suggests that the word only appears once in the new testament ("...occurring once only in the New Testament"), but then two locations are cited (1 Corinthians, and Revelation)? --76.179.50.192 (talk) 01:29, 17 March 2009 (UTC) Steve

Spereration of the words
In the Peshitta i have in front of me [AENT], the words are divided as 'Maran Atha'.

However, since they didn't seperate the words in ancient times, and everyone simply knew how to read it, it is indeed possible that it is supposed to be 'Marana Tha'.

Is there a dispute on this?

Which version is more widely supported? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.180.14.220 (talk) 22:15, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The Clementine Vulgate also has Maran Atha (meaning, "the Lord has come"), but the same caviats about ancient word separation apply to the Vulgate as well as the Peshitta. Rwflammang (talk) 18:07, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Moving article to 'Marana tha'
Hi everyone,

I've decided it would be a good idea to rename this article "Marana tha", because the NIV translation at 1 Cor 16:22 has a footnote transliterating the Aramaic expression in the Greek as Marana tha.  Arjun G. Menon  ( talk  · mail) 16:37, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Correcting article title to 'Maranatha'
It would be better to have the title reflect the reality of the text itself (maranatha) and let the debate over how to split the phrase up take place in the text of the article. The title of the article should not take a position based on one conclusion of the debate and thus exclude the 'maran atha' position (which I actually conclude is the more accurate meaning).

 * ✅ I agree, the previous move to Marana tha was pov. I have undone it. --Lambiam 17:40, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Moronic Editorial Interjection
A few years ago some fool cluttered up the place with a big text box saying ''This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (July 2011)'' The topic is a single word, a hapax legomenon yet, of undoubted validity and unknown precise meaning. How many citations can such a creature possibly support?
