Jews are not authoritarian to non-Jews. (Is 'gentile' still a word. Is it a slur now? Haven't heard it since childhood- was neutral)

Gentile is still a word. Not used so much as a slur. More "Goy" is used. I hate that word. Literally means "nation".
-
From gens gentis - a people.
-
Goy is direct from the Bible. We are a "goy kadosh" which is holy nation. Never knew about etymology of gentile.
-
It's the word used in the Latin translations of the bible to describe non-Jewish peoples.
-
So it's the Latin version of "goy". How does it describe the Israelites? Exodus 19.6
-
Gens sancta
-
That makes total sense. Who knew you could learn stuff from gentiles?!
-
And I have two words of Hebrew!
