Bible Note: Taleb, Heuristic #1: The first conclusion you jump to is not necessarily the correct one. When I said "You do not have to believe Paul is an unbeliever to explain his writings" I was separating myself from your relative. He said Paul was an unbeliever, I say he was a believer---separation. A little more reflection would have spared us both 3 paragraphs. Quote:"Your questioning the facts about Yahweh not being in Scripture prior to Exodus is understandable. A lot of other people are surprised about that fact too. (Especially the JW’s. who over uses the name (?) Jehovah.)" Taleb, I clearly stated, "The Creator is referred to 141 times in Genesis alone as YHWH (Strong's 3068)." Hueristic #2: "slow down, take a deep breath, slowly let it out. Again. Again. There, now the blood should flow easier and that should make it easier for you to understand the simple basics" of the English language. Enough. I do not want to banter with you Taleb, it is non-productive. Here are the two witnesses: Exodus 6:2 "And God (0430) spake (01696) unto Moses, (04872) and said (0559) unto him, I am the LORD: (03068)" Genesis 15:7 "And he said (0559) unto him, I am the LORD (03068) that brought thee out (03318) of Ur (0218) of the Chaldees, (03778) to give (05414) thee this land (0776) to inherit (03423) it." If you look up the Strong's number (3068) next to LORD it will show YHWH. Admittedly, the reason for a discrepancy may be where the vowel points are placed but it is YHWH. I am trying to respond to your "law vs commandment" but I am not sure I understand it. All I was saying about law/commandment vs Torah/mitzpat was just as we have a "Bill of Rights" (law/Torah) it is comprised of individual rights such as "to bear arms" (commandment/mitzpat) Taleb, I welcome a productive discussion of anything that concerns you. By the way, I sense you may think I am a JW, I am not. Greg Boone |
