Mistake? The thesaurus clearly tells you that the word "Delicate" and "feeble" are synonyms, and you are still yapping on about what again? undecided

Please go waste someone else's time with this ridiculousness ojare! undecided

Are you trolling or being serious here? does a word being the synonym of others make them 100% the same? A synonym can be an exact word or nearly the same word, in other words, they aren't 100% the same.

Synonyms of man may include “male”, “guy”, etc. Can they be used interchangeably in all sentences? And are they factually the same in all contexts?

Please stop the unnecessary arguments.

I know a pretty Delilah. The last I heard of her she slept with her best friend's husband on their wedding night birthing triplets nine months later..

That said girls with other names have done worse. A neighbour called Ruth killed her husband with acid. Yet the biblical Ruth was a virtuous woman.

Delilah means delicate in both Hebrew and Arabic. Once a not very popular name because of the biblical character Delilah many parents now look pass the biblical stigma. In the US it has griown to become one of the top names starting with D.

Off record Anini wasn't named Barnabas yet the difference between him and a rat was the position of the tail.. Upbringing and environment affect people more than the names the bear. Many people called Jesus in Southern America dont know the name of the first book of the Bible..
I like your style of writing. So interesting and sound great.

Was she not an idol worshipping palestinian and are palestinians not descendants of Ishmael. If they are, what is their religion today ? Is it christianity or islam ? If islam, why are u offended that your idol worshippr sister in faith, was the one who seduced an anointed servant of God. Dagon was their god and where samson killed over 3000 of the idol worshippers was in Gaza and where is Gaza today, my educated heathen friend?

Delilah means Delicate.. You sound as though her parents named
her feeble for the sole purpose of encountering Samson. The act accured after she had been born and named..


Names are prophetic in bible days
janez means sorrow and he suffered. jacob means swindler and he swindled.

In Africa, it has to do with ignorance really. There are plenty of females with "Delilah" for a name elsewhere who share nothing in common with the biblical dame of the same name. undecided

Why do you have to name your children after Jewish, Arab or English names as Africans? How many of these foreign indoctrinators bear African names?

Using foreign names makes you muderfuckers look like pets that see named by their masters and owners. And that is why you act like pets in reality, with no sense of your own and direction.

Delicate means breakable easily broken..feeble mean"WEAK. no.strenght

a plate is strong but delicate . but it is not weak.

but a feeble person refers to weak in strenght

read the verses i posted in other translations

Hebrews 12:12 KJV
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees

Hebrews 12:12 (NLT)
12 So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees
.



Delicate and feeble mean the same exact thing but are used in different contexts.

When speaking of something weak but with a positive connotation, you would say delicate, and when negative feeble.

READ JUDGES 16 AND U WIL SEE GAZA THERE BUT FOR CLEARER UNDERSTANDING, U CAN ALSO READ CHAPTERS 14 AND 15 AS WELL AND U WIL SEE THAT THE WHOLE THING WAS AS A RESULT OF A DEBACLE BETWEEN ISRAELITES AND THE PEOPLE OF PHILISTINE, WHO ARE THE PALESTINIANS OF TODAY. THE WHOLE THING TOOK PLACE IN THE PROVINCE OF GAZA AND GAZA IS STIL ON EARTH TODAY. THE PROBLEM B/W ISRAEL AND PALESTINIANS BEGAN THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO AND WIL SOON CONSUME THE 3RD PART OF HUMANITY (OVER 2BILLION LIVES) GLOBALLY WHEN ISRAEL DESTROY AL AQSA MOSQUE IN EAST JERUSALEM IN THEIR BID TO BUILD THE 3RD JEWISH TEMPLE. THE GLOBAL RELIGIOUS WAR THAT WIL ERUPT WHEN THE MOSQUE GOES DOWN, WIL BE LED BY RUSSIA, CHINA AND IRAN AND THESE NATIONS ARE ALREADY IN ISRAEL'S BACK YARD IN SYRIA. EVEN THE MIGHTY AMERICA WIL BE TURNED INTO RADIO ACTIVE ASHES BY RUSSIA FOR ITS SUPPORT TO ISRAEL. BIBLE SAID IT ALL
