Bible Note: Hi Tim, I agree, however would God have instructed it to be written almost 7000 times to only be left out because of inproper vowel placement? Jesus name in hebrew was pronounced Yeshua or perhaps Yehoshua, the truth is no human knows for certain. It cetainly was not Jesus. In Greek, l.e.sous' and in Italian Gesu [pronounced Djay.zoo']and so on. But must we stop using the name of Jesus because most, or all of us do not know its original pronunciation? No translator has suggested this. Would it show honor to Jesus to remove all mention of his name in the Bible and replace it with a mere title like "Teacher" or "Mediator"? So similiar comments can be made regarding all the names we read in the Bible. We pronounce them in our own language and do not try to imitate the original pronunciation. We say "Jeremiah" and not "Yir.meya'hu. Similarly we say Isaiah, although in his own day this prophet was likely known as Yesha.ya'hu So would us being his creation have the right to leave his name out of the book he authored because of pronunciation? Example: Psalm 83:18 in KJV used to read: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. And now the newest KJV reads: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Lord, art the most high over all the earth. What sense can we make of this? Lord is a Title and is not God's name, a big no no for KJV. and that is just one example, all other modern bibles are doing the same thing. Do these translators of the KJV and many others do not understand what is telling us in Revelation 22:18,19? |
