Definition: | From ancient Greek κανών (kanón) meaning "measuring rod, standard for carpentry/building". Hence, a literal translation from ancient Greek is as the "carpenter's standard"--an obvious association to the false claim of Jesus being a carpenter as first created by the ROMAN CULT into CATHOLIC CHURCH liturgy from the 12th Century onwards. The word pre-dates its use in ancient Greek back to Hebrew קנה (qaneh) = "reed" and Akkadian qanū = "reed". In common legal usage, a "canon" represents a law of the CATHOLIC CHURCH. |
