201 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | Truthfinder | 96741 | ||
Hi Christian7, In Isaiah 9:6, I would capitalize all the proper nouns in that sentence, as that would be proper English grammar. All the proper nouns would include Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace since the context dictates that by prefacing it with "and his name will be called". Truthfinder |

202 | Jesus is wisdom argument leads nowhere. | Rev 3:14 | Truthfinder | 96928 | ||
Hi Pastor Glenn, Yes, Glenn, In Luke 4:8 or Mat 4:10, Jesus quoted that verse of Deut 6:13 in reply to Satan where he says: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” I see here that Jesus is saying that the acceptable worship to the Sovereign One of the universe should be Jesus’ Father, Jehovah and to direct our worship to him (Jesus as the universal Sovereign) would be contradictory to this mandate. How do you read it? . "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."' Since yhvh is replaced here in Mat 4:10 (yhvh is in Deut 6:13) in the translation you quote from, with the Hebrew word adonai or Greek kurios, do you subsequently conclude that Jesus was telling Satan to worship himself (Jesus)? If so, then that’s the whole point of our discussion. Originally yhvh was in the Bible over 6,000 times for a reason. That reason was to maintain the Father’s, the Almighty God’s true identity. You also ask: By your theology it seems that any angels could have stepped in and died for our sins. But what angel would have had power to get back up from the dead as Christ did by His own power? Jehovah God sent his only be-gotten son as John 1: 1 identifies as the “Word” and also says he was “with” God. John 1:14; 14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of undeserved kindness and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, yes, he actually cried out—this was the one who said [it]—saying: “The one coming behind me has advanced in front of me, because he existed before me.”) 16 For we all received from out of his fullness, even undeserved kindness upon undeserved kindness. 17 Because the Law was given through Moses, the undeserved kindness and the truth came to be through Jesus Christ. 18 No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is in the bosom [position] with the Father is the one that has explained him. This verse also tells us Glenn, that man has “seen” Jesus but not God. It tells us too that Jesus, the only-begotten god has explained the Almighty God. The unparalleled “unity” in thought and love is there between Jesus and Jehovah. That is why Jesus could rightly say in John 14:6; 6 Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If YOU men had known me, YOU would have known my Father also; from this moment on YOU know him and have seen him.” 8 Philip said to him: “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him: “Have I been with YOU men so long a time, and yet, Philip, you have not come to know me? He that has seen me has seen the Father [also]. How is it you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me? I stress again the point that Jesus makes in verse 10, “I am in union with the Father”, not that he is the Father, Almighty God. 1 John 2:5 shows that we as mere men also can be in union with the Father by saying, . 5 But whoever does observe his word, truthfully in this [person] the love of God has been made perfect. By this we have the knowledge that we are in union with him." I honestly believe that if the Jewish scibes has not changed the original "inspired Scriptures" that this difference of thought would not be here between you and me. Truthfinder |

204 | Our name erased or added to Book of Life | Rev 13:8 | Truthfinder | 87972 | ||
Does "all" always mean "all"? Here's a couple of examples where it does not. 1) Let's read Paul’s words at 2 Timothy 1:15, evidently written from Rome about the year 65 C.E., and may indicate that the strong persecution then beginning to rage against the Christians on the part of the Roman authorities had now caused many of the Christian ‘men of Asia’ to shun association with the imprisoned apostle Paul, turning away from Paul at a critical time. The expression “all the men in the district of Asia” can not imply a total turning away of all Christians in Asia, because Paul immediately thereafter commended Onesiphorus, who was evidently a resident of Ephesus. 2Ti 1:16-18; 4:19. 2) Jesus' words as found at Mr 14:36, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; remove this cup from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want.” Yet, Titus 1:2 tells us that "God cannot lie". Thus "all" must be relative in certain situations. Truthfinder |

207 | Isn’t this playing with the text? | Rev 22:18 | Truthfinder | 79234 | ||
Hi, Obviously you didn't read what I provided. It showed from authoritive sources that the "orignal" NOT merely Greek copies of copies must have had God's name. When these scribs changed it to kurios, that was wrong. Please re-read what I provided. The Jewish tradition was wrong. The Jews with their traditions put Jesus to death! They were no longer God's people and are not today. Truthfinder |

208 | Originals? | Rev 22:18 | Truthfinder | 79343 | ||
Originals, As you know Tim, of course there are no "originals" of either the Hebrew nor Greek texts. The following is what I said in a previous post: The text located in the U.S.S.R.,not the original but namely, the Codex Leningrad B 19A, used for Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), vowel-points the Tetragrammaton to read Yehwah´, Yehwih´ and a number of times Yeho·wah´, as in Ge 3:14. The edition of the Hebrew text by Ginsburg (Gins.) vowel-points YHWH to read Yeho·wah´. While many translators favor the pronunciation "Yahweh," the New World Translation continues to use the form "Jehovah" because of people's familiarity with it for centuries. Moreover, it preserves, equally with other forms, the four letters of the divine name, YHWH or JHVH. The practice of substituting titles for the divine name that developed among the Jews was applied in later copies of the Greek Septuagint, the Latin Vulgate, and many other translations, ancient and modern. Therefore, A Greek-English Lexicon, by Liddell and Scott (LS), p. 1013, states: "ho kyrios,Hebr. Yahweh, LXX Ge. 11.5, al." Also, the Greek Lexicon of the Roman and Byzantine Periods, by E. A. Sophocles, Cambridge, U.S.A., and Leipzig, 1914, p. 699, says under (Ky´ri·os): "Lord, the representative of YHVH. Sept. passim (scattered throughout)." Moreover, Dictionnaire de la Bible, by F. Vigouroux, Paris, 1926, col. 223, says that "the Septuagint and the Vulgate contain KURIOS and Dominus, "Lord," where the original contains Jehovah." Regarding the divine name, A Compendious Syriac Dictionary, edited by J. Payne Smith, Oxford, 1979 reprint, p. 298, says that Mar·ya´ "in the (Syriac) Peshita Version of the O. T. represents the Tetragrammaton." Concerning the use of the Tetragrammaton in the Christian Greek Scriptures, George Howard of the University of Georgia wrote in Journal of Biblical Literature, Vol. 96, 1977, p. 63: "Recent discoveries in Egypt and the Judean Desert allow us to see first hand the use of God's name in pre-Christian times. These discoveries are significant for N[ew] T[estament] studies in that they form a literary analogy with the earliest Christian documents and may explain how NT authors used the divine name. In the following pages we will set forth a theory that the divine name, YHVH (and possibly abbreviations of it), was originally written in the NT quotations of and allusions to the O[ld] T[estament] and that in the course of time it was replaced mainly with the surrogate KS [abbreviation for Ky´ri·os, "Lord"]. This removal of the Tetragram[maton], in our view, created a confusion in the minds of early Gentile Christians about the relationship between the 'Lord God' and the 'Lord Christ' which is reflected in the MS tradition of the NT text itself." For these reasons and others, the long list of Bible translations also "restored" the Divine Name in what is believed to be only what was in the original. Truthfinder |
