Hank, I agree with you. The truth is, nobody knows for sure how the name of God was originally pronounced. Nevertheless, many prefer the pronunciation Jehovah. Awabakal - Yehoa Bugotu - Jihova Cantonese - Yehwowah Danish - Jehova Dutch - Jehovah Efik - Jehovah English - Jehovah Finnish - Jehova French - Jehovah Futuna - Ihova German - Jehova Hungarian - Jehova Igbo - Jehova Italian - Geova Japanese - Ehoba Narrinyeri - Jehovah And the list can go on. Even though the modern pronunciation Jehovah might not be exactly the way it was pronounced originally, this in no way detracts from the importance of the name. It identifies the Creator, the living God, the Most High to whom Jesus said: "Our Father in the Heaven, let your name be sanctified." Matthew 6:9 |

Hi Ray, In the New World Translation it reads; "YOU must pray, then, this way; "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified*." * Or, "be held sacred; he treated as holy." Gr., ha.gi.a.sthe'to; Lat., snc.ti.fi.ce'tur; J17,18 Hebrew., yit.gad.dash', "let be santified." John 17:1; Jesus spoke these things, and raising his eyes to heaven, he said: "Father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you." In this verse, Jesus is asking his "Father" Jehovah, to glorify him "Son", Jesus, that your son may glorify you." I don't see no Trinity in this verse! sisterkath |

Hi Ray, I agree, I don't see why we can't talk under peaceful conditions. Did I say anything "out of the way"? May I ask, just what are you trying to tell me? We are all guilty before God; and those who vaunt it over the frailties and infirmities of others little think how many things they offend in themselves. Let us learn to be severe in judging ourselves, but charitable in our judgments of other people. Matthew Henry's sisterkath |

Ray, I feel I did address my point to Hank, but not maybe to you! Do you have something against me Ray? I never said that "Abba" was not in Greek! Matter of fact, I am looking at it now. Father, customary title used of God in prayer, Abba, approximating a personal name, framed by the lips of infants betokens unreasoning trust. Gather expresses an intelligent apprhension of the relationship by he child. The two together express the love and intelligent confidence of the child. Mk 14:36; Rom 8:15; Gal 4:6 I don't see how this relates to what Hank and I were talking about! Could you please tell me? OOOOO but make it easy, so I understand!! sisterkath |

Hank, If its not in the Bible, don't belieave it. But it certainly teaches Trinity. I'm sorry you think that. Maybe you can explain to me, how you came about the Trinity? sisterkath |

Hank, Was I ahead? There is but one "Almighty God" and he name is, Jehovah. There is but one "Son" and his name is, Jesus Christ. I do not agree with the Trinity, and say that Jesus is Jehovah. Nice try, trying to put words into my mouth. One last note, before I leave this board, Acts 13:41; "Behold it, YOU scorners, and wonder at it, and vanish away, because I am working a work in YOUR days, a work that YOU will by no means believe even if anyone relates it to YOU in detail." 1 Corinthians 8:5,6; For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God, the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him. 1 Corinthians 11:3; But I want YOU to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God. Philipians 2:5,6; Keep this mental attitude in YOU that was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. Colossians 3:17; And whatever it is that YOU do in word or in work, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, thanking God the Father through him. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is ONE God, and ONE mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:23; Further, turn down foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing they produce fights. Last but not lest, Acts 2:21; And everyone who calls on the name of JEHOVAH will be saved. |

28 | Please explain the Trinity | Gen 1:2 | sisterkath | 77339 | ||
Could someone please tell me, how does one explain the Trinity and how does one preach the Trinity? I am finding it very hard to understand the Trinity. In my research, I find that Trinitarians are not in agreement, among themselves. Where is the Trinity in the Bible? It is very confusing to me and the only thing that comes into my head is 1 Corinthians 14:33 "God is not a God of confusion." Why can't the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin scholars explain the Trinity? sisterkath | ||||||

31 | Caleb was a man filled with the Spirit. | Num 14:24 | sisterkath | 75111 | ||
The NIV Study Bible, says at Numbers 14:24: "my servant Caleb has a different spitit," Caleb seems to be singled out; perhaps the words of vv. 7-9 were his, and he was joined in them by Joshua. Caleb's ultimate vindication came 45 years later. (see note on 13:22; see also Jos 14:10) 13:22-----Hebron. The first city the spies came to in Canaan. The parenthetical comment about the city's being built seven years before Zoan in Egypt may have been prompted by their amazement at the size and fortifications of the city that was so closely associated with the lives of their ancestors four centuries before this time. In the stories of the ancestors of their people, Hebron had not been a great city, but a dwelling and trading place for shepherds and herdsmen. desecendants of Anak---Three notable Anak descendents are mentioned as living at Hebron. The Anakites were men of great statue, their physical size brought fear to the peoples. In a later day of faith, Caleb was to drive them from their city (Jos. 15:14; Jdg 1:10) Jos 14:10-----"Now then, just as the LORD promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the desert. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! |

32 | What country controlled the use of iron? | 1 Samuel | sisterkath | 76092 | ||
Holman Bible Dictionary (Iron) states; Older scholars taught that the Philistines held an iron monopoly over Israel. Increased availability of iron corresponds to the period of Philistia's collapse, and 1 Samuel records that the Philistines prevented smiths from working in Israel (1 Sam. 13:19-21). However, excavations in Philistia have uncovered no more iron implements than in Israelite cities. This suggests that the prohibition of smiths in Israel may refer to workers in bronze rather than iron or that for a period of history the Philistines had an economic and perhaps technological advantage, being able to control the iron industry. |

33 | Queen of Sheba's Home Today? | 2 Chr 9:1 | sisterkath | 77605 | ||
In order to know who "the Queen of Sheba" is today, I will give you other scriptures, and you can compare them. 1 Kings 10:1 Now the queen of She'ba was hearing the report about Sol'o'mon in connection with the name of Jehovah. So she came to test him with perplexing questions. Or, "with riddles." Isaiah 60:6 The heaving mass of camels itself will cover you, the young male camels of Mid'i'an and E'phah. All those from She'ba--they will come. Gold and frankincense they will carry. And the praises of Jehovah they will announce. Luke 11:31 The queen of the south will be raised up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Sol'o'mon, but, look! something more than Sol'o'mon is here. sisterkath |

34 | Almighty and Mighty God | Is 9:6 | sisterkath | 77945 | ||
Hi Tim, At Isaiah 9:6 Jesus Christ is prophetically called 'El Gib.bohr', "Mighty God" not 'El Shad-dai' "God Almighty, which is applied to Jehovah at Genesis 17:1. The plural form, 'e.lim', is used when referring to other gods, such as at Exodus 15:11 "gods". It is also used as the plural of majesty and excellence, as in Psalm 89:6; "Who can resemble Jehovah among the sons of God", bi.beneh' 'E.lim'? That the plural form is used to demote a single individual here and in a number of other places is supported by the translation of 'E.lim' by the singular form The.os in the Greek Septuagint; likewise by Deus in the Latin Vulgate. Among the Hebrew words that are translated "God" is 'El, meaning "Mighty One; Strong One." Ge 14:18. It is used with reference to Jehovah, to other gods, and to men. It is also used extensively in the makeup of proper names, such as Elisha; meaning "God is Salvation" and Michael; "Who Is Like God?". In some places 'El appears with the definite article; ha.'El', literally, "the God" with reference to Jehovah, thereby distinguishing him from other gods. Ge 46:3; 2 Sa 22:31. The word "Almighty", itself shows a higher ranking, Ezekiel 32:21. sisterkath |

35 | Almighty and Mighty God | Is 9:6 | sisterkath | 78041 | ||
Hi Tim, How can you say what I posted is imaginary distinctions between words? And your right, there is only one true "Almighty GOD, Jehovah. Not, Jesus his Son. How many times must Jesus say, "I am the Son of God, before YOU will belieave it? At "the end", we all will know who the "true god" is. I put my faith into the same GOD, whom Jesus prayed to while on earth, whom he loved and obeyed. You disagree with the WTBTS, not JW's. YOU disagree with the organization, not the people in it. For it is written, "Love Thy Neighbor". JW's only have one GOD and that is Jehovah. Not the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Who is right? What is written in The Bible, Jehovah. I don't ignore any word that is written in The Bible. sisterkath |

36 | Is Jesus Gods son? | Matt 3:17 | sisterkath | 71007 | ||
At John 17:3; [Jesus prayed to his Father]: This is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God ["who alone art truly God," NE], and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent." (Notice that Jesus referred not to himself but to his Father in heaven as "the only true God) John 20:17,RS: "Jesus said to her [Mary Magdalene], 'Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." (So to the resurrected Jesus, the Father was God, just as the Father was God to Mary Magdalene. Interestingly, not once in Scripture do we find the Father addressing the Son as 'my God.")

38 | taking out time to show them Christ . | Mark 1:17 | sisterkath | 77604 | ||
trueheart, Yes it is very loving to bring others to Jesus Christ, but as Jesus Christ made known, to all that would listen, his Father, Jehovah is the one who sent him. Jesus was send to make his Fathers name known, Jehovah. At John. 12:44-50 But Jesus loudly declared. The one who believes in Me does not (only) believe in and trust in and rely on Me, but (in believeing in Me he believes) in Him Who sent Me. And whoever sees Me sees Him Who sent Me. I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes in Me (whoever cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me0 may not continue to live in darkness. If anyone hears My teachings and fails to observe then (does not keep them, but disregards them), it is not I who judges him. For I have not come to judge and to condemn and to pass sentence and to inflict penalty on the world, but to save the world. Anyone who rejects Me and persistently sets Me at naught, refusing to accept My teachings, has his judge (however); for the (very) message that I have spoken will itself judge and convict him at the last day. This is because I have never spoken on My own authority or of My own accord or as self-appointed, but the Gather Who sent Me has Himself given Me orders (concerning) what to say and what to tell. And I know that His commandment is (means) eternal life. So whatever I speak, I am saying (exactly) what My Father has told Me to say and in accordance with His instructions. Amplified However, Jesus cried out and said, "He that puts faith in me puts faith not in me (only), but in him (also) that sent me; and he that beholds me beholds (also) him that sent me. I have come as a light into the world, in order that everyone putting faith in me may not remain in the darkness. But if anyone hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I came, not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that disregards me and does not receive my sayings has one to judge him. The word that I have spoken is what will judge him in the last day; because I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak. Also, I know that his commandment means everlasting life. Therefore, the things I speak, just as the Father has told me (them), so I speak (them). New World Translation sisterkath |

Hi, If I may share with you what Matthew Henry's Commentary Book says about these two verses. Now in what this good woman did, we may observe. 1. Her deep humiliation for sin. She stood behind him weeping; her eyes had been the inlets and outlets of sin, and now she makes them fountains of tears. Her face is now foul with weeping, which perhaps used to be covered with paints. Her hair now made a towel of, which before had been plaited and adorned. We have reason to think that she had before sorrowed for sin; but, now that she had an opporunity of coming into the presence of Christ, the wound bled afresh and her sorrow was renewed. Note. It well becomes penitents, upon all their approaches to Christ, to renew their godly sorrow and shame for sin, when he is pacified. Eze. 16:63. 2. Her strong affection to the Lord Jesus. This was what our Lord Jesus took special notice of, that she loved much, v 42, 47. She washed his feet, in token of her ready submission to the meaanest office in which she might do him honour. Nay, she washed them with her tears, tears of joy; she was in a transport, to find herself so near her Saviour, whom her soul loved. She kissed his feet, as one unworthy of the kisses of his mouth, which the spouse coveted, Cant. 1:2. It was a kiss of adoration as well as affection. She wiped them with her hair, as one entirely devoted to his honour. Her eyes shall yield water to wash them, and her hair be a towel to wip them; and she anointed his feet with the ointment, owning him hereby to be the Messiah, the Anointed. She anointed his feet in token of her consent to God's design in anointing his head with the oil of gladness. Note, All true penitents have a dear love to the Lord Jesus. |
