Bible Question: Did the original version of the Bible have 5 additional books, and the name, Jehovah was found instead of God? If so, who had the power and authority to remove these 5 books, and replace Jehovah with God? Why? Thank you. JC |
Bible Answer: Janice C Where did you get that information? First five books were not deleted from the Bible. There is a section called the Apocrypha that is contained in some bibles but not others. It is collection of stories that were deemed not inspired, and since it existed in Jesus time I think if He saw they were unfairly eliminated He would have said something. There are other Books mentioned in the Bible but they have never been found. There are those that claim to have recovered them but that is true nonsense. In any case The church fathers at the leading of the Holy Spirit called the Bible complete. The word Jehovah is a made up word. Tyndale in 1500’s added the vowels from Adoni to the Jewish Tetragram for God YHWH . The laws of Latin linguistics pronounce Y’s as J’s hence the word Jehovah. That very briefly is the story. EdB |
