Bible Note: Hi, Morton... You will know, of course, that the Old Testament (OT) is written predominantly in Hebrew. Whereas the New Testament (NT) is written in Greek. Consequently, you will not find the Tetragrammaton in the NT. However, when the NT quotes the OT, it does so by and large from the Septuagint (LXX). So, how does the LXX translate Yahweh? It does so with the Greek word "Theos" (Strong's number G2316) Therefore, how do we find the word "Theos" being used in the NT? "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God [Theos] with us)." (Matthew 1:23 ESV) You might want to avail yourself of a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and work through all these references yourself, drawing out the necessary connections. You will find that such an exercise will serve to instruct you far better than what is given to you by others. However, you will find further instruction by studying Church History. In this context, you might want to start with Athanasius. Often the old creeds and confessions deal most effectively with the message of Scripture in the light of Scripture. Nevertheless, as I stated before, this topic is frequently discussed in the forum. You will find many, many postings on this question, from about as many different perspectives as you can imagine. In Him, Doc |
