Subject: Does anyone have a good way to explain t |
Bible Note: Hi again Pastor Glenn, ……….This is why it is better to set trinity discussion aside for now as we determine the question of Jesus being Jehovah. This is the key. Since it is your favorite version, I want to know what the NWT has to say in Psalm 102.……. ………Yes, it is wrong to change the scripture. But, this is a brick wall to say which side is changing it……. Well, I do not know of any Bible scholar that will honestly admit that the original texts did not contain the tetragramaton, do you? I can not come to any other conclusion that these changes by Jewish tradition were seriously wrong and worse yet has mislead untold millions to confusing which “Lord” the Bible is referring to when “Lord” is used. The NWT among many other translations makes this matter clear and simple, by restoring “Jehovah” where it was originally in both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. "An in depth study of Hebrews 1:8, shows first that it is addressed to the Son of God, but can be rendered either, “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever,” or, “God is thy throne for ever and ever,” since there is no verb “is” in either the Greek or in the Hebrew at Psalm 45:6, from which this is a quotation. In keeping with its principles to honor God and remain consistent with the rest of the Scriptures, the New World Translation here reads: “God is your throne forever.” " ……….I would like to know whether you see the NWT is consistant in translating to “God is your throne forever.” in both places: Psalm 45:6, as well as, Hebrew 1:8. What does it say? The same with Psalm 102:25-27 compared to Heb 1:10-12? …….. Well, let us see. In the NWT Psalm 45:6 reads, 6 God is your throne to time indefinite, even forever; The scepter of your kingship is a scepter of uprightness. 7 You have loved righteousness and you hate wickedness. That is why God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your partners. Again this verse: That is why God (Jehovah), your (King of Israel, also Jesus) God (Jehovah), has anointed you (worshipper of God, King of Israel Solomon, also fulfilled in Jesus) with the oil of exultation more than your partners. Notes: for Ps. 45:6 of the NASB Study Bible says, “Possibly the king’s throne is called God’s throne because he is God’s appointed regent. But it is also possible that the king himself is addressed as “god.” (2 Sam. 19:21) … as a title because of his special relationship with God.” end quote. In this same footnote it says that other men are referred to as “gods” in the Bible. It concludes saying, “In Christ, the Son of David, it is fulfilled.” And Heb. 1:8-12 reads, NWT, ” 8 But with reference to the Son: “God is your throne forever And Psalm 102:25 reads, NWT, 25 Long ago you laid the foundations of the earth itself, And the heavens are the work of your hands. Here the psalmist was talking about Jehovah God, but the apostle Paul applied these words to Jesus Christ as you say in Hebrews 1:10, 11 As it turns out, these words apply to Jesus, for he acted as Jehovah’s Agent in creating the universe just as Colossians 1:15, 16 tells us. So Jesus, too, could be said to have “laid the foundations of the earth.” Yes, all three were involved in creating the universe and man. (Let us..), God’s active force or holy, God’s Son and he himself. Truthfinder |
