OK, it's an hour later. I'm awake.I'm sorry Nick. I understand what you're saying. And I agree. But that's not what I was trying to get at.“Those knowing your name will trust in you, for you will certainly not leave those looking for you, O Jehovah.”—Psalm 9:10Does ‘knowing God’s name’ involve merely an intellectual knowledge that God’s name…[Read more]

Right, in regards to your first responce, yes, “hallowed be thy name.” Or, in modern english, “let your name be sactified,” or held as holy. Of course God's name is holy. Holy Holy Holy is Jehovah of Armies. But it's not treated as such. Ever since Satan smeared God's name with reproach it has been treated that way. Being removed from Bibles…[Read more]

The Name Was ThereWe can be sure that the apostle Matthew included God’s name in his Gospel. Why? Because he wrote it originally in Hebrew. In the fourth century, Jerome, who translated the Latin Vulgate, reported: “Matthew, who is also Levi, and who from a publican came to be an apostle, first of all composed a Gospel of Christ in Judaea in the…[Read more]

GODS NAME IN THE “NEW TESTAMENT”THE position of God’s name is unshakable in the Hebrew Scriptures, the “Old Testament.” Although the Jews eventually stopped pronouncing it, their religious beliefs prevented them from removing the name when they made copies of older manuscripts of the Bible. Hence, the Hebrew Scriptures contain God’s name more of…[Read more]

GOD'S NAME AND BIBLE TRANSLATORSEARLY in the second century, after the last of the apostles had died, the falling away from the Christian faith foretold by Jesus and his followers began in earnest. Pagan philosophies and doctrines infiltrated the congregation; sects and divisions arose, and the original purity of faith was corrupted. And God’s n…[Read more]

GOD'S NAME IN THE BIBLEWHERE DID IT GO AND HOW DID IT GET THERE?JESUS AND GOD'S NAME.The first language used in writing the Bible was Hebrew, and when the Hebrew language was written down, the writers wrote only consonants—not vowels. Hence, when the inspired writers wrote God’s name, they naturally did the same thing and wrote only the con…[Read more]

Near the end of the Bible, we find these words:“If anyone makes an addition to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll; and IF ANYONE TAKES ANYTHING AWAY from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take his portion away from the trees of life.”—Revelation 22:18, 19; see also Deuteronomy 4:2.W…[Read more]

This is in responce to Cubes first statements.YOU DON'T FIND THE NAME FOR GOD IN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES (OLD TESTAMENT) OF MOST BIBLES TODAY. THIS DOESN'T MEAN IT WASN'T ORIGINALLY THERE. NEITHER DOES THE ABSENCE OF HIS NAME IN THE GREEK SCRIPTURES IN MODERN BIBLES MEAN THAT IT WASN'T ORIGINALLY THERE.Jerome, in the fourth century, wrote:…[Read more]

“While men were sleeping his enemy came and oversowed weeds…” I'm interested in the timing of this statement. When did it begin? While men were sleeping. Looking at history, it seems that when the apostles who had been acting as a restraint against apostasy fell asleep in death, the congregation became spiritually drowsy. Since this…[Read more]

When scriptures such as this are looked at, they are often placed in our time frame. And people you speak to that have a different view than you will apply that sort of scripture to you. It can be applied to our time. But these words to the Romans were meant for the Romans specifically and written to them so they could deal with what was going…[Read more]
