Subject: Is their a good LXX translation |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, I have really looked into this because John 8:24 is a verse that I use for witnessing to people as I think it's important to believe that Jesus is Jehovah. However, I have always felt a little uncomfortable trying to get people to accept and understand that Jesus is the Son of God and God at the same time. I'm also following your other feed called "die in your sins" and might jump in from time to time as I see this feed has moved. I found a good greek Septuagint online and it seems Andy is right in that the text reads "Thus you shall say to the sons of Isreal, HO ON has sent me to you". I e-mailed my pastor and he said he "misspoke" and thought that EGO EIMI was in the place of HO ON. I have actually heard other preachers preach on this and have said that Jesus claimed the same name EGO EIMI that's in the LXX. I have thought a lot about this today and think that Andy has a great point on this as far as titles go. It convicted me that I should be researching a lot more for myself especially since I found some great websites. I hope you had a good turkey day! Servetus |
