1 | Why is the ground declared holy? | Ex 3:5 | MAC702 | 112557 | ||
A place is made holy by the presence of Jehovah. (When appearing to men, he manifested his presence by means of angels representing him; Ga 3:19.) Moses was on holy ground as he stood observing the burning bush from which an angel representing Jehovah spoke to him. (Ex 3:2-5) Joshua was reminded that he was on holy ground when an angel, the prince of the army of Jehovah, materialized and stood before him. (Jos 5:13-15) Peter, referring to the transfiguration of Christ and to Jehovah’s speaking at that time, called the site “the holy mountain.”—2Pe 1:17, 18; Lu 9:28-36. | ||||||

What makes you think that the voice wasn't that of God Himself? Exodus 3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. The word Lord is from the Hebrew Yehovah and the word God is the Hebrew word Elohiym. The word malak, which is the Hebrew word for angel isn’t even mentioned in this verse as you would suggest. You stated"an angel representing Jehovah spoke to him" CDBJ |

Good question. In referencing Galatians 3:19, it shows that the Law was transmitted through angels. In the giving of the Law by Jehovah to Moses, it just plainly says that He told Moses the Law. So, apparently it is leaving out HOW Jehovah did so, but is later learned in a comment by the apostle Paul. In reality, the HOW is not nearly as important as the Law itself, and I wouldn't argue you one way or the other. It can make sense to apply the same HOW to most circumstances when Jehovah spoke to men, but this deatil should probably have been skipped for lack of substantial evidence either way and no great discussion value. But "Lord" is from the Hebrew ´Adho·nai´ Jehovah (from YHWH) is used completely separately in the Old Testament; compare the original ASV, instead of the newer NASB. Even in the NASB, you'll find places where sometimes LORD is in all-capitals, and sometimes not, yet both might be referring to Jehovah God. There is a reason. You may make this a separate thread if you wish, or I would welcome a E-mailed format which would be easier to get into more lengthy discussions. |

Hello MAC702, I noticed that you haven’t filled out a personal profile on the forum yet. It makes it a lot easer to talk to someone when one knows exactly where he or she is coming from and where they stand. It also helps to know if a person might have a hidden agenda and thus a reason for answering the way they do on the forum. All those that have been on the forum for any length of time have filled one out and it sure makes it nice. You can click on the author of any post and get better understanding of the individual that you are posting to; please consider this. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Wow, I'm actually lucky I found your reply. I must admit this forum is rather difficult to navigate through and keep your place. Maybe I'm just not seeing the easy way. I'll look for the profile spot. Thanks. | ||||||
