So, brandon, I take it you've stopped using the word and replaced it with Elohim.Have you?

I know.

I very much doubt anyone will ask you to leave. I know they won't. But when you first said the pattern for you is: You go on a forum and talk about baal gad and get kicked off, I asked what you would do when no one did kick you off, no matter what you said. I think you may somehow be disappointed that you're not being kicked off.What do you…[Read more]

You have a photo memory? Cool.Can you speak hebrew?

· Jesus Christ compared a rich man’s difficulty in getting into the Kingdom with a camel that is trying to get through a needle’s eye. Did Jesus have in mind a literal camel and a real sewing needle?Two of the three Scriptural quotations of this statement are quite similar. According to Matthew’s account, Jesus said: “It is easier for a camel to…[Read more]

One of his greatest deception, is convincing people he doesn't exist–like any good criminal would.

Here's an interesting question and one that will help Elijah's case.When the Greek Septuagint (Hebrew Scriptures or Old Testament) was written in Greek, was the divine name kept in Hebrew?I actually think it was.

My point exactly. We are born of flesh, sinful, and live in an imperfect world literally covered in dung, spiritually, and physically. We will never be able to scrape all the dung off our bodies literally or figuratively. We can only do what is reasonable. Is it reasonable to give up English and speak Hebrew? Is it reasonable to stop…[Read more]

There's a difference between those that try to hide God's name and substitute it with titles like LORD and GOD and you who say that lord=baal, so we shouldn't use the word “LORD” at all in reference to Jehovah.Elijah writes:”You also seem to forget that YHWH said in ( Hosea 2:16-17) that He was going to REMOVE the title NAMES OF BAALIM out of…[Read more]

Isn't it pronounced just like Elijah, except the “J” sound is replaced with a “sh” sound?

Brandon, Elijah wrote:”No, I'm saying this word ” Baal =Lord ” should NOT be used as a noun title name INPLACE OF or SUBSTITUTE for the Name YHWH=Yah.”When we think of the word “baal,” the thought of false gods come to mind.No, of course we shouldn't substituted LORD for the Almighty's name. Nor would it make much sence to substitute “baal” for…[Read more]

I've always pictured Satan as more of a business man, wearing a suit, and not a red one. I've pictured him well arranged in fine dress with hair combed. 2 CORINTHIANS 11:14“And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.”Isn't that horns and tail thing from Dante?

Elijah, I believe those who want to serve Jehovah out of a clean heart will one day be joined in a pure language.Although not written in scripture, it would make some sence if we returned to the original language, one untainted. There will be no divisions in worship, politics, language, etc. Mankind will be truly united. (Just out of…[Read more]

Right, so you admit that it's the same, and the same line of reasoning.THANKYOU.

Thankyou Elijah.That may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me….on this forum.

I'm going to floss, then off to bed for me.Night.david

For years, I've heard the illustration of: If you have a glass of clean fresh water and put the smallest drop of poison in it, would you drink it?Of course, one would say no. No paganism allowed in true worship.I can't believe this, but Elijah has forced me to come up with another interesting illustration along the same lines. Man, I can't…[Read more]

THE GERMAN WORD: GOTTBack in 1796 Dominikus von Brentano used the divine name at places in his German translation of the “New Testament.” Consider, for example, Mark 12:29. Jesus had been asked, “Which is the foremost commandment?” Brentano’s translation then reads: “The foremost commandment, answered Jesus, is this: Hear Israel! Jehovah, ou…[Read more]

DO YOU EVEN HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? Please stop saying they are pronounced the same, as though that means anything at all. Oh, they're pronouced the same. Yes, you've said that about 20 times. So?Look up the word: homonyms.You say I picked nothing apart, but only gave one of the words…..OK, then explain the following post, which was several…[Read more]

In his Historia Ecclesiastica (Ecclesiastical History), the fourth-century historian Eusebius quotes Papias and Irenaeus of the second century and Origen of the third, all of whom ascribe this Gospel to Matthew and say that he wrote it in Hebrew. George Howard, professor of religion at the University of Georgia wrote concerning the belief that…[Read more]
