Subject: Did God write the NT as well as the OT? |
Bible Note: Greetings Eschaton! Don't get me wrong my friend! I fully believe that both testaments are God's word! I keep asking Jmscott because it is his contention that it is improper to translate the Hebrew word 'YHWH' as Lord. However, the NT translates this word as 'Kurios' or 'Lord' 50 times when the New Testament writers quote from the Old Testament. Therefore, if both testaments are God's inspired word, then 'Lord' is an acceptable translation of 'YHWH' - since God Himself translates it in this way. Personally, I fully believe that God has protected His Word - not in the sense that translations are inspired, but in the sense that the transmission of the text through time has been protected by God.
