Subject: Greek-Hebrew New Testment use Yahweh? |
Bible Note: Greetings Tara1! You wrote: "The answer is yes. Hebrew manuscripts contain YHWH but Greek manuscripts of the New Testement no longer exist that have what must have been the original." The Hebrew manuscripts contain the tetragrammaton because it is Hebrew. The Greek manuscripts do not contain it because they are Greek, not Hebrew. We have literally thousands of Greek manuscripts for the New Testament. Some of them date back to the first and second century. They all translate YHWH as 'kurios'. There was no conspiracy to 'remove' YHWH from the Greek texts - it was never there to begin with! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
