Subject: WHERE TO FIND ALL THE NAMES OF GOD |
Bible Note: Jesus’ plain statement to Satan the Devil: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” -- Matt 4:10. See also Luke 4:8. And Jesus here is quoting Deut 10:20, so for him to quote means he would say what was originally written. Matthew was originally written in Hebrew, and the Hebrew texts here uses God’s name also, which is in English Jehovah. J1-14,16-18,20,22-24 (22 different Hebrew texts that use God’s name here)The Sacred Scriptures, Ethel Edition uses “Yahweh your Elohim”, which is a transliteration of the Hebrew not a translation of God’s name. Thus, Jesus did use God’s name. Sometime during the second or third century C.E. the scribes removed the Tetragrammaton from both the Septuagint and the Christian Greek Scriptures and replaced it with Ky´ri·os, “Lord” or The·os´, “God.” 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.” By the way, I have to disagree with you again when you say "If you ask the jew people of the real name of God they dont have idea about Jehovah", isn't true, as this is brought up in first year Hebrew class by Jewish instuctors, but is exactly what I've expained to you. How the "Hebrew" was pronounced is not certain but several possibilities are acceptable as my Hebrew instructor made plain so long as the consonants are used. I hope this helps you. Truthseeker |
