21 | John8:24 and John8:57-58 | Ex 3:14 | DBR | 127129 | ||
¡°THE BEING¡± Ex 3:14 LXX According to John When writing John 8:58, the apostle was not quoting from the Greek Septuagint Version, a translation of the Hebrew Scriptures made by Greek-speaking Jews of Alexandria, Egypt, before the birth of Christ. Let anyone who reads Greek compare John 8:58 in Greek and Exodus 3:14 in the Greek Septuagint, and he will find that the Septuagint reading of Exodus 3:14 does not use the expression Eg¨® eim¨ª for God¡¯s name, when God says to Moses: ¡°I AM hath sent me unto you.¡± The Greek Septuagint uses the expression ho On, which means ¡°The Being,¡± or, ¡°The One who is.¡± This fact is clearly presented to us in Bagster¡¯s translation of the Greek Septuagint, at Exodus 3:14, which reads: ¡°And God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING (ho On); and he said, Thus shall ye say to the children of Israel, THE BEING (ho On) has sent me to you.¡± According to Charles Thomson¡¯s translation of the Greek Septuagint, Exodus 3:14 reads: ¡°God spoke to Moses saying, I am The I Am (ho On). Moreover he said, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, The I Am (ho On) hath sent me to you.¡± Thus this comparison of the two Greek texts, that of the Septuagint and that of John 8:58, removes all basis for trinitarians to argue that Jesus, in John 8:58, was trying to fit Exodus 3:14 to himself, as if he was Jehovah God. O yes, the Greek expression ho On does occur in the apostle John¡¯s writings. It occurs in the Greek text of John 1:18; 3:13 (AV; Yg), 31; 6:40; 8:47; 12:17; 18:37, but not as a title or name. So in four of those verses it applies, not to Jesus, but to other persons. However, in the Revelation or Apocalypse the apostle John does use the expression ho On as a title or designation five times, namely, in Revelation 1:4, 8; 4:8; 11:17; 16:5. But in all five cases the expression ho On is applied to Jehovah God the Almighty, and not to the Lamb of God, the Word of God. For example, Revelation 1:4, 8 (AV) reads: ¡°John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is (ho on), and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne.¡± ¡°I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is (ho on), and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.¡± Revelation 4:8 applies ho on to the Lord God Almighty on his heavenly throne, and Revelation 5:6, 7 shows that the Lamb of God comes to him later on. Revelation 11:17 applies ho on to the Lord God Almighty when he takes power to rule as King. Revelation 16:5 applies ho ¨n to the Lord God when he acts as Judge. Hence John 8:58 fails the clergy as proof of there being a ¡°triune God,¡± for in that verse, as well translated by Dr. James Moffatt, An American Translation, and others, Jesus was saying merely that he had had a prehuman existence in heaven with his Father and that this prehuman existence began before Abraham was born.

Here is what the Septugint says at Ex 3:14, that is said to be from where Jesus quoted from: English translation of the LXX And God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING; and he said, Thus shall ye say to the children of Israel, THE BEING has sent me to you. Notice the emphisis is on "The Being" not "I am" or God called himself "THE BEING." Thank you for your interest and all who have helped me with my questions. DBR |

26 | What reason? | Ex 3:14 | DBR | 127471 | ||

27 | YHWH, God's only name | Ex 3:14 | DBR | 127504 | ||
I agree with you as this is seen in the KJV 1611 Edition of the Holy Bible at Psalm 83 (LXXXIII) vs 18:- "That men knowe, that thou whose name is IEHOVAH: art the most High ouer all the earth." And:- THE NAME OF GOD THE FATHER "The NAME of God is described as his holy name more often than all other adjectival qualifications taken together. It was this sense of the sacredness of the name that finally led to the obtuse refusal to use 'Yahweh', leading as it has done to a deep lose of sense of the divine name in EV (with the notable exception of the J.B.). The holiness of the name, however, does not remove if from use but from abuse: this is the reason why revelation of the divine name must never confused with any thought of magical power with the divine. Far from man being able to use the name to control God, it is the name which controls man, both in worship Godward (e.g. Lv 18:21) and in service manward (e.g. Rom 1:5). The NAME is thus the motive of service; it is also the message (e.g. Acts 9:15), and the means of power (e.g. Acts 3:16; 4:12)."-'NEW BIBLE DICTIONARY', second edition p.813, also see p.430 DBR |

29 | Samuel cursed because he saw a medium? | 1 Sam 28:6 | DBR | 127892 | ||
I would seem that the Scriptures do not agree with your conclusion? NASB 1 Chr 10:13 So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it, AMB 1 Chr 10:13 So Saul died for his trespass against the Lord [in sparing Amalek], for his unfaithfulness in not keeping God's word, and also for consulting [a medium with] a spirit of the dead to inquire pleadingly of it, DBR |

It would seem in the above texts from Numbers and Job they the Bible does call animal souls, but in the sense that they are souls not that they have an immortal soul or "soul" can be another word for "life" (living things) when we x-ref KJV and AMP of Job 12:10.

Perhaps to answer your question we all could think on the question what did Jesus put first in his life after he was babtized by John, what do we think? AMP 1 Pet 2:21 For even to this were you called [it is inseparable from your vocation]. For Christ also suffered for you, leaving you [His personal] example, so that you should follow in His footsteps. DBR |

34 | infant death | Is 7:16 | DBR | 127566 | ||
Acts 24:15 and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. The very sad event of a infant dying is not forgoten by God, Even though the young one was not able to have faith he or she would be ressurected as an unrightious one (due to the situation beyond thier control) with a view of growing up and find out about God until old enough to make thier own choice. What a Loving God. DBR |
||||||
35 | infant death | Is 7:16 | DBR | 127577 | ||
What doe logic say, the same person that died must be resurrected, e.g. if a 50 yr old died then surely a 50yr old would be resorted as that is what they are, so if a 10yr old died the a 10yr old must be resurrected as they is what they are anything other than that cannot be the same person, is that not so? e.g. Lazarus was resurrected Lazarus as with all the resurrections recorded in the Bible including the ones that where young children, they contunued growing into adulthood as far as we know.

36 | Can you specifiy some scripture? | Is 7:16 | DBR | 127615 | ||
E.g. Mark 5:22-23 Now one of the presiding officers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came and, on catching sight of him, he fell at his feet 23 and entreated him many times, saying: “My LITTLE daughter is in an extreme condition. Would you please come and put your hands upon her that she may get well and live.” 1 Kings 17:23-24 Elijah now took the CHILD and brought him down from the roof chamber into the house and gave him to his mother; and Elijah then said: “See, your son is alive.” 24 Upon that the woman said to Elijah: “Now, indeed, I do know that you are a man of God and that Jehovah’s word in your mouth is true.” In the above we see children ressurected and as the scritpures do not say they died again so after then it would be logical to asume the grew up to addulthood, thus my comment "as far as we know." DBR |

37 | infant death | Is 7:16 | DBR | 127618 | ||
I put down what the scriptures say to me, you may or may not agree. At Revelation 20:12-14 is recorded John’s vision of the earthly resurrection: “I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.” I would seem that some mentioned in the above have need of judgment as they have made thier mind up on somthing that God has to judge. DBR |

38 | infant death | Is 7:16 | DBR | 127619 | ||
Psalm 37:29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it. Prov 2 For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. Proverbs 2:20-22 The purpose is that you may walk in the way of good people and that the paths of the righteous ones you may keep. 21 For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. 22 As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it. This seems to speak of and earthly judgment to me and as the scriptures clearly state the unrighteous will be brought back they cannot go into heaven as they are unrighteous so in would appear that the only place left would be this earth and as ignorance can be a defence with the Loving God of the Bible then it would seem that further opportunities must be available other why not leave the unrighteous dead dead, why else bring them back, it seem logical to me. I know you as Hank and you make some interesting comments some I agree with some I do not, you know me as DBR I made some comments you may agree with and some you may not, like the 1st century Christians had their views so do we but it the Bible that matters you and I in fact all of us are at best worthless speck of dust but, what the Bible say that’s everything, that’s enough for me.

(Luke 23:34) But Jesus was saying: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Furthermore, to distribute his garments, they cast lots. (John 16:3) But they will do these things because they have not come to know either the Father or me. (1 Timothy 1:13) although formerly I was a blasphemer and a persecutor and an insolent man. Nevertheless, I was shown mercy, because I was ignorant and acted with a lack of faith. DBR |

Looking a long way back in time in the below would cover the long dead as they can well be included in the time scale coverd by Pauls comment. Acts 17:29-30 “Seeing, therefore, that we are the progeny of God, we ought not to imagine that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and contrivance of man. 30 True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent. Daniel 12:2 And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up, these to indefinitely lasting life and those to reproaches [and] to indefinitely lasting abhorrence. Thus to be judged for good or bad John 5:28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which ALL those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice "ALL" in the above would seem to indiscriminate as to weither they are good or bad.
