Subject: Greek-Hebrew New Testment use Yahweh? |
Bible Note: Hi, Tim: Surely you don't believe that the beneficient Santa Claus of the Sky whom we call God would have any objection to His all-wise and all-knowing creatures adding a few words to His word here and taking away a few words there! I mean, if adding a few YHWH's to the Greek New Testament will make us feel better, what's wrong with that? Isn't the aim of Christianity to make us feel better, to make us feel all warm and fuzzy-wuzzy inside? Why, Jesus gave His life on the cross so that we could all be happy, healthy and rich. So what's wrong with doctoring up the biblical text until we have it the way we want it, so long as it makes us happy? Shouldn't we formulate our own theology first, get it so that we'll be as happy as pigs in the sunshine, and then rewrite those annoying portions of Scripture that conflict with our own tailor-made theology? We will feel good and be happy when we do. Never mind what Scripture says about this practice. After all, God is good and loves everybody. We don't have to worry about God condemning people to Hell for corrupting His holy word. He wouldn't do such a thing as that! Or would He? --Hank |
