'Speaking of "Things that Are #Not" as though they Were' ... #Romans4Seventeen a long, complicated way of saying "Issuing Orders!" | @BlueLetterBible @theBibleHub

I 'compulse' Romans 4:17 beneath the study of #Not, but first ... |That word| seems important; so I found out a little more about |that word| (below-linked to the post that brought |that word| to my attention) and share my findings with you below---and you might start/continue the discussion in the comments.

... and I have to mention that a lot of help (a share of revenue, extra topics from magazines & advertising, etc.) comes from WowApp: Using the Wowism Community's Fairness to Prevail over Economic Greed

The word |Not| is built on ancient words that mean "in No Way" (see |Naught). 
The Bible uses '|Not|' to translate the Greek μὴ (mē), and I'm sure several other Greek- or Hebrew words (which I'll add here if I can't find any other resource that just lists them all).
just like #HaveNot #ForgetMeNot #Cannot #Notwithstanding #Whatnot
