Bible Note: Greetings Sid, "To: Makanos: I am primarily a Bible expositor." Would you mind telling us a bit more about your background? "All of the conservative Protestant expositors had to begin by editing the translation; because they are all so bad." I disagree with this statement as nonfactual until you can provide me with some concrete support. "They are all so bad because they have retained thousands of KJV errors." I disagree with this statement as nonfactual until you can provide me with some concrete support. "They have four names of God wrong because the KJV had them wrong." I disagree with this statement as nonfactual because it simply is not true. "However, the Internet is full of websites with the proper translations of these names." Show me. "James Strong identified "Elohim" to be "plural gods"; both pagan gods, and Father and Son. Matthew Henry and Robert Jamieson agreed. The webmasters of these sites also agree; but they think that we should stick with status quo." I disagree with this statement as nonfactual because it simply is not true. "William D. Mounce's lexicon identified "Christos" to be "Anointed." Show me. "The Interlinear Bibles all read "Iesous" instead of "Jesus." The British invented the letter "J" in about AD 1725." I disagree with this statement as nonfactual because it simply is not true. "HWH is "to be." The prefix "Y" reads "he." HYHA is "I Am." God taught this to Moses. HWHY is "He Is." Moses taught this to Israel." Show me. "Jesus came teaching "I Am." Peter confessed, "You are Anointed, Son of God." Hebrews reads, "Who being radiance of the glory ... of essence of Him" - Heb 1.3; and other similar verses." I am unable to follow any coherent line of thinking here. "The Jews did not believe in "The Son of God" - Psalm 2.7." Please clarify. "They changed the names of God (plural Gods, He Is) in the Septuagint." I disagree with this statement as nonfactual because it simply is not true. "The "traditions of men" is the great stumbling block." Please clarify. "I have translated, and interpreted, all of Ecclesiastes." Oh really? In what capacity? "Death given" (10.1) is about the death of Israel being prophesied in Verse 3.2." Please explain further. "Matthew Henry and Andrew Fausset agree with this interpretation of Verse 3.2." Show me. "Please believe me, that I do not speak foolishly or recklessly." The jury is still out on that, until complete, in-depth and mentally coherent explanations can be given for what you have written above and in your other posts. "Respectfully submitted."
