Bible Note: a humble messenger: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I might be wrong, but do you belong to the "Yahweh Assembly" group or denomination? I have read their material, and what you say is what the materials say that have read. Have you read the introduction to the NASB? There is a very good explimation as to why the name of Yahweh was not used by the Lockman Foundation translators. I personally would have no issue if the NASB or the NIV or for that matter the NKJV used the word Yahweh. As Long as using that name was not a dogmatic as a demand for salvation or required for worship. Having dealt with this issue before, the big problem for me is the "Yahweh Assembly" has become so legalistic and dogmatic, there can be no dialogue in a kind respectfully way. I have not found a single requirement for salvation in the New Testament, that we must use the name of Yahweh to be saved. However the Yahweh materials I have read seemed to require using the name Yahweh to be a believer. I do not want to make you feel disrespeced or that I am being unkind, but is this how you understand salvation, and using the name of Yahweh? I am not wanting to debate you on using the name Yahweh. I just would like to know if that is your bellief. Thank you for your response. justme |
