1 | Why not use Yahweh for LORD? | Bible general Archive 1 | Scribe | 39779 | ||
It is an english translation. If they were to translate all Hebrew words to Hebrew. Would not that be an exercise in futility? I suppose there is a degree of sincere reverence in many that wonder which name is correct when addressing God. But since Jesus said Eloi on the cross, when he called out to My God., where does it end? We are talking about God here not man. God does not go by a proper name like Tom or Joe. When men asked God's name he answered with Covenant personalities. I AM, which means I am all that you need God to be to you. If you will obey me in faith | ||||||

please human reasoning allows us justify using titles....1 Corinthians 2:7...the spirit searches the "depths" of god.....one of the ten commanments....was not take his name in vain....anybody can be called a teacher or lord!..like in the english parliament what do they call leaders....lord!....how about when in school when there is a substitute teacher...still a teacher but a substitute...not the original...just like humans or so called christian substitute his name....if you claim to be a child of god....Read Isaiah 52:5,6.....common practice among so-called religious folks...it is high time we know his name and honor him...by using it....you will "never" convince a person who has been taught by the spirit to use any "excuse" to not call the him by his name....no dictionary...man made book...or reference...or theologian or translator to do it...in the bible whole thoughts..not words must be translated....Read jeremiah 23:26-27...how long will the people forget my name! | ||||||
3 | Is the New Testamen a man made book? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 39839 | ||
Greetings Jmscott2! So, is the entire New Testament simply a man made book? The men who wrote the New Testament wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, as God moved them. If your concern was as important as you seem to think, God would have had them quote the OT passages by simply transliterating each occurance of YHWH. However, He didn't. He inspired them to translate the word YHWH as 'Kurios' or 'Lord'. So, it wasn't just men! It was God who did it! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Jmscott! Thanks for the response my friend! But, I'm not sure I follow what you are saying! :-) My point is simply this: 1) The NT is the part of the inpired Word of God 2) The NT translates YHWH as Lord. 3) Therefore, it is okay for us to translate YHWH as Lord in English. If this is carnal reasoning, I'm sorry! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

good morning tim....i ask you again did god translate or inspire?..and if he did inspire men to write the bible...what men were inspired....and today are the translators inspired?...that is why John 14:26 is so important to pay attention to...men can translate.....god inspires....by holy spirit!...so again how many bibles have translated by men in different languages.....or better yet does god inspire the reader by holy spirit the things of him?...read 1 corinthians 2:4..and verse 10,13 this is what one "has" to realize...especially...no human wisdom will you understand god.....only those who posses the spirit!...somebody on a earlier jumped on me for not captializing the name "God"...now only a carnal person would look at words and not whole thoughts........ | ||||||

Greetings Jmscott! I'll answer your question my friend, if you will then answer my question. You asked, "i ask you again did god translate or inspire?..and if he did inspire men to write the bible...what men were inspired....and today are the translators inspired?..." Allow me to answer all of these questions. 1) God inspired the authors of both testaments to write exactly what they wrote. This includes their choice of words when they translated OT passages into Greek. Thus, the 50 times that YHWH is translated as 'kurios' in the New Testament is a translation inspired by God. 2) The only men inspired were the authors of the canonical books found in the Old and New Testamets. 3) Translators today are not inspired, though I do believe they can be led. My point again is very simple. The NT translates 'YHWH' as 'kurios' 50 times. This translation is inspired by God. Thus, when we translate the Hebrew into English, we are followings God's pattern if we also translate (as God inspired the NT writers to do) 'YHWH' as Lord. Now, would you answer my question please? Is the NT wrong to translate 'YHWH' as 'Kurios' or 'Lord'? If it is okay for 'YHWH' to be translated as 'Lord' in Greek, then it is okay for 'YHWH' to be translated as Lord in English. It is that simple my friend. If God wanted the NT writers to do as you have been suggesting we must do, then He would have had them transliterate 'YHWH' rather than translating it. But, He didn't - did He? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Jmscott! So now you are saying that the New Testament wasn't originally written in Greek! Even the Scriptures your refer to support you contention my friend. Look at Mal. 1:6. It says that the priests had shown contempt for God's name. How did they show contempt for God's name? Look at verse 7! They offered defiled food on the altar. They didn't mispronounce God's name, they ignored His commands. The New Testament was written under the inspiration of God Himself - in Greek. He translated 'YHWH' as Lord. You can argue around the facts any way you want my friend, but the facts won't change! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

13 | Is the New Testamen a man made book? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 40144 | ||
Greetings Jmscott! There is no debate concerning what God's name is in the OT - it is YHWH! We both agree on this. The issue is whether or not YHWH can be translated into English as Lord. My contention is that God Himself translated YHWH as Lord in Greek. Therefore, it is an acceptable translation for English as well. Now, you did not respond to my last question: Was the NT originally written in Greek? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
