Bible Note: Greetings Truthfinder! Everything you just wrote is pure speculation my friend. Every copy we have of Matthew, and the rest of the New Testament, is in Greek. Every time YHWH was used in the Old Testament, the New Testament translates it into Greek as 'kurios'. We can speculate what they may have done in the LXX. We can speculate what Jesus may have said originally. We can speculate what Matthew may have been originally. But, the fact remains, all of the Greek manuscripts use 'kurios' for YHWH. So, I will continue to believe that YHWH is simply the Hebrew word, and that we are under no obligation to use the Hebrew word in an English, Greek, or any other translation - any more that we are required to use 'Iysous' for Jesus. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
