Bible Note: Greetings Truthfinder! The problem with this whole issue is quite simple. The New Testament was written under divine inspiration. It was written in Greek. So, it doesn't matter what the LXX did, or what 1st century Jews did. All that matters is that in the inspired text of the New Testament, 'YHWH' is translated as 'kurios'. There isn't any Greek manuscript evidence for anything else. So, God inspired the writers to use 'kurios' for 'YHWH' - it is really as simple as that my friend. Just because you disagree with what they actually wrote doesn't make them wrong! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
