What do anyone of you think is the meaning of the sentence Ave Caesar nos morituri te salutamus?
This is latin, not spanish. It means "Hail Caesar, we who are about to die salute you."
There's no such phase as 'red fide' in Latin. An alternative may be 'redite', which is the imperative plural of 'redere' ['to give back']. Another alternative may be 'redidi' ['I gave back'], which is the first person singular form in the present indicative of the same infinitive.
Sola fide is a Latin exclamation that when translated to English means "by faith alone". If your question is with relation to a religious (Christian) remark that was supposed to be made by somebody centuries back, then it's not that entirely accurate. The remark was made when this ex-Catholic seminarian stated that salvation is "sola fide", that was when he misquoted the Holy Scriptures. There wasn't any verse in the Holy Bible that states this rule clearly.
It is clearly stated in the epistle or letter of St. James to the Christians that faith AND works is the way to salvation. For faith WITHOUT good works is dead.
However, if your questions is just plainly "sola fide" that is to be used for another discussion, then my first sentence above will suffice.
AnswerThe phrase 'sola fide' is simply Latin for 'by faith alone' and was used in connection with the reformation doctrines espoused by Martin Luther and others. It has reference to the clear Biblical teaching that salvation is by faith alone and not by works of the law.
Both Luther himself and others since him have incorrectly understood the Epistle of James to somehow contradict this as it refers to the place works have as evidence of genuine salvation.
The phrase was used in connection with others such as 'sola gratia' (by grace alone) and 'sola scriptura' (by scripture alone) to describe some of the central tenets of the reformation teachings as opposed to the Roman Catholic position. One of Luther's chief concerns was to 'protest' against the system of works which had arisen in his day and to point the way back to a simple, more Biblical position. The phrase 'sola fide' was thus primarily used by way of contrast with a position involving salvation by works.
What is 'Omnia mei dona Dei' in English?
All my things are gifts from God is the English equivalent of 'Omnia mei dona Dei'. In the word by word translation, the noun 'omnia' means 'all'. The possessive adjective 'mei' means 'my'. The noun 'dona' means 'gifts'. The noun 'Dei' means 'God'.
How can 'ex facto' member be defined?
A member from the facts is the English equivalent of 'ex facto' member. In the word by word translation, the preposition 'ex' means 'from, out of'. The verb 'facto' is the past participle of the infinitive 'facere'. It's used as a noun in the ablative case, as the object of the preposition. It means 'fact'.
Actually, a more likely form is the phrase 'de facto'member. In the word by word translation, the preposition 'de' means 'from, of'. So the translation reads as 'according to the facts'.
What is the Latin meaning of the word sacrifice?
Sacrifice comes from two latin words Sacrum and Facio. it literally means "to make sacred".
