1 | Why is it too sacred to pronounce today? | Deut 6:5 | MAC702 | 227797 | ||
Where did this prohibition to "pronounce the sacred name of God" come from? Throughout the Bible, there are quotations of the people saying God's name, using it, not just writing it down. (Ruth 2:4) And, look! Boaz came from Bethlehem and proceeded to say to the harvesters: “Jehovah be with you.” In turn they would say to him: “Jehovah bless you.” There is no pretense that Jehovah is the correct pronunciation in Hebrew. It's not even an attempt to do so. It is simply consistent with all other English names in the Bible. If someone insists on Yahweh, there should be no problem with that, but inconsistency would seem interesting. Most use it as an excuse to not use God's name at all, probably because it sounds funny since most are using a Bible that has removed it and they are therefore not used to seeing it. Others like their God to seem more impersonal, without a name. |

2 | Aren't there differences? | Bible general Archive 4 | MAC702 | 220129 | ||
Do you have some scriptural or other support that specifies your reason for Paul's statement? In that scripture, Paul actually says: "The women are to keep silent in the churches (plural); for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says." Also, aren't there significant differences between judging, being a Queen (one with practically no ruling power), and sponsoring missionaries (please specify); versus teaching the Christian congregation during meetings? Wouldn't even women writing books about their faith and reaching out to ones who are not believers be different than acting as teachers WITHIN the Christian congregation? Paul might seem to think so as he also recommends female ministers (as opposed to pastors) such as Phoebe at Romans 16:1. |

So do you advocate following all provisions of the Law that are not expressly overruled in the NT? This would include how to cure "leprosy," etc. | ||||||
