Mike,It is most likely, according to what Josephus said, that Paul spoke in Aramaic and wrote in Aramaic, then had what he had written, translated into the Greek for those who spoke in Greek. He may even had an interpreter when he spoke to the Greek speaking men and women. Paul might not have even spoken Greek, or maybe only a little. I'm going to…[Read more]

Your welcome Mike.

BD,I did not say there was a time when the only begotten God didn't have a name, I said that there may have been a time that He hadn't been given it yet.As an earthly example, again, I could have decided the names for all five of my kids before I even conceived the first. Each child was officially given the name when the birth certificate was…[Read more]

Hi Mike,I know that there is an Aramaic interlinear of the whole NT through Bible.cc. I'm not sure if it is all from the same manuscript or not.

This never makes a person God himself, although that doesn't rule out being called theos. But THE Theos and theos are 2 different…[Read more]

Mike,Here is what Gill says about your 'Dan' question:and pursued them unto Dan; the Jerusalem Targum is, to Dan of Caesarea, meaning Caesarea of Philippi, as in the times of Christ and his apostles it was called; which at first had the name of Leshem, or Lais, and was not called Dan until the times of the judges, Judges 18:29; wherefore, if the…[Read more]

Ok Mike,I will have to get to that later.

Mike,Again, the HRV says there is only one YHWH Yeshua the Messiah. In other parts of the HRV, the Father is called YHWH. So you have to read it as there is one YWYH Yeshua, the Messiah, because there is only one YHWH Yeshua, the Messiah. There is one YHWH, the Father with the one YHWH Yeshua. The one YHWH, the Father in this verse in 1 Cor 8:6 is…[Read more]

David,There are about 65 pages in the intro to the Hebrew Roots Version that has a lot of good information in it.

The only way I know to find it is to go here: http://www.angelfire.com/hi2….es.htmlThen…[Read more]

No Mike, I suggest He spoke in Aramaic.

Hi Gene,Greek interlinears are good but there is plenty of evidence that the original NT was written in Aramaic/Hebrew. So an Aramaic interlinear would be better then. The way to find it is to go to here: http://bible.cc/matthew/1-1.htm and then put in your Bible verse that you want to read in the search box, then scroll down to the…[Read more]
