1 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | Morant61 | 74017 | ||
Greetings Greg! I have no problem with the practice of using YHWH, but I don't personally prefer it for one simple reason. Neither Hebrew, nor Greek, is my native language. :-) When the New Testament was inspired by God, the authors did not use 'YHWH', or 'Yeshua'. The NT authors used Greek terms for both. So, I figure that when I am speaking English, I should use English terms as well! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, Yes, I do not think it is a major issue. I just think it is a matter of respect. I think we all would prefer that people say our names in English rather than some other language. There are some studies I have seen on the origin of the terms "Jesus", "Lord" etc. but I have not pursued it thoroughly. I think its easier to use the exact name He gave and that avoids confusion or any suspect etymology. I believe YHWH chose Hebrew for very good reason. I am beginning to learn the basics of the Hebrew language. From what I understand, once you do there are many different levels of understanding contained in the original Hebrew text. Shalom, Greg Boone |
