Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 18 2012,23:27)His Greek version contained the Tetragrammaton in archaic Hebrew – i.e. the Paleo script.It has long been thought that the NT was written in Greek, with the exception of the Gospel of Matthew.  This is from the JW's:Jerome, in the fourth century, wrote the following: “Matthew, who is also Levi, and who from a…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 18 2012,21:09)He was called both because He was both Lord Yahweh Yeshua and Lord Yeshua, both deity and human.That is good that you are looking into this, Mike.I'm not aware of any Greek, Hebrew, Latin, or Aramaic evidence that Jesus was ever called “Lord Yahweh Yeshua”, so it is irresponsible of you to keep claiming it…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 18 2012,21:06)………..that which was 'brought forth' had to exist prior to being brought forth in order to have been brought forth.Didn't God “bring forth” the heavens, the earth, and everything in them too?

No, we are told specifically to stay away from those who dabble in the black arts. But that doesn't mean the black arts are fake. Consider the girl who had the spirit of prophecy in Acts 16:16-18.

Quote (terraricca @ Aug. 18 2012,18:09)I do not see that their is any electricityWell then, I don't know what to tell you anymore.Scripture teaches these things:1. The SPIRIT goes back to God who gave it.2. The SOUL goes to Sheol to sleep with our fathers.3. The BODY counts for nothing and decays.

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Aug. 18 2012,17:19)“Since the word “theos” in the phrase “the Word was God ” is not preceded by the article “ho” (the God), as are the other two uses of theos in verses 1 and 2, it can be understood as an adjective rather than a noun; “the word was mighty”. Theos is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word “elohim” which…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 18 2012,15:50)Clearly the one spoken of in John 1:18 is the same one spoken of in 1 Corinthians 2:11………..So when Moses made God known to the Israelites in the wilderness, he was also “the Spirit of God”?I don't think it's as “clear” as you claim, Kerwin. Don't forget that Jesus explained God to us, AND THEN sent…[Read more]

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Aug. 18 2012,15:09)……..the word translated as 'god' does not always give reference to an actual being, person or mighty one, but can also simply refer to power, strength or might.So then you agree that the word “theos” in 1:1c does NOT refer to the person of God mentioned in 1:1b as “THE theos”?Good for you, Frank.Now you…[Read more]

Here's some more from Wikipedia:The Tetragrammaton was written in contrasting Paleo-Hebrew characters in some of the oldest surviving square Aramaic Hebrew texts, and were not read as Adonai (“My Lord”) until after the Rabbinic teachings after Israel went into Babylonian captivity.This seems to futher support my theory that there wasn't an actual…[Read more]
