And of course, Noam Chomsky is a communist-socialist, so yes, he does not favor freedom of speech. I studied many of his books in college. The guy is so impaired that he must have his graduate students write his books as special projects. Noam cannot write. My English professors were shaking their heads at his faulty grammar, and were pointing out his mistakes so that we would not repeat them. In fact, we spent hours doing tree diagrams to point out Noam's glaring lack of proper grammar.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Why don't you say what you mean?

Yes, why would you bring Noam Chomsky into the Intra-TOC Private Discussions?

He is of Jewish descent, not an Orthodox Christian at all. In fact, he is an atheist.

And what is strange about his atheism is that he states that our ability to communicate by words is inherent.

That language is built into us.

Yet, he does not know the Word of God, Christ Himself, our Creator and our Redeemer.

Yes, we are made in the very image and likeness of the Word of God, Jesus Christ, so yes, language is a very part of our being as we were made to worship God. How can we worship God without language? How can we worship God without sacred chant? How can we worship God without the Holy Scripture, which is called the "Word of God."

And the Word was made flesh ...

And we will soon honor and prepare for the Holy Incarnate One, the Word of God, with the Nativity Fast which begins on November 15, (Old Calendar).

O Blessed Lord, Glory to Thee.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
