1 | How often is God's name omited? | Ps 83:18 | jolo | 219504 | ||
How often did the translators omit God's name? And if we know it now why do we not use it in newer translations? | ||||||

Dear jolo, The translators did not omit God's name. Instead, they gave us the English equivalent. The tetragrammaton occurs something near 7,000 times in the Old Testament. Even the Septuagint substituted Greek letters for the Hebrew. Sometimes in English we speak of the Father as the Great I AM, for "God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.'" (Exodus 3:14a); and Christ stated clearly "Before Abraham was born, I am" (John 8:58). People do no dishonor to the Lord by using their own languages. Even the name Jesus is Latinized. The name for the Holy Spirit in Greek is Hagios Pneumos. When we use the terms common to our own language we communicate more clearly. That is essential, for we are told in Scripture, "For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle? So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air." (1 Corinthians 14:8-9 NASB) In Him, Doc |

Dear jolo, I fail to see what any of that has to do with Bible study. My friend this is a sola Scriptura Bible study and if the holy writ isn't good enough for you, as is, then you are in the wrong place. Apparently you have come here with some sort of agenda or ax to grind. Are you a JW? John |

I do have an agenda--to understand the sacred scriptures. I thought that was the point of the forum. Holy writ is the point. Sorry if I have offended anyone. What part of my post was not about the Bible? | ||||||

How about answering my question? Are you a JW? | ||||||

You have answered my question twice now with a question. Please answer my question, are you a JW? | ||||||
9 | How often is God's name omited? | Ps 83:18 | jolo | 219524 | ||
Neither have you answered mine. Of course I am a witness for Jehovah, the most high over all the earth, aren't you? |

That doesn't exactly answer it. Are you a JW? Yes or no? As far as your first question goes: though your post was technically about the Bible, you stated that the holy writ is -as it has been given to us by God in His inspired word- "negligent" and that decisions of what is in it's sacred content are "arbitrary", thus, trifleing with it's inspired, sacred content. That, my dear, jolo, is unacceptable, according not only to the TOU but the word of God itself, as it also warns us very sternly about such practices. Please familiarize yourself with the Terms Of Use, (TOU) we all agreed to when we reregistered to this forum. And I repeat once again so you don't forget and attempt to deflect to another subject once again with, yet another question: Are you or are you not, a JW-?? John |
