I tried.

On one of the threads referenced by Zayit, I noted a specific erroneous teaching about Hebrew. Either Rood does not know basic Hebrew (in which case he is not qualified to be a Hebrew roots teacher) or else he is deliberately being misleading. Either way I don't believe that he should be defended.

I concur Shmuel. I saw a copy of his latest book, and in it he stated the following as fact.

"ROOD-imentary Explanation
Y'shua: a common, compound name in Hebrew (in English, "Joshua")
Where does it come from and what does it mean?
Yah: the short form of the name of the Almighty---Yahweh
Yeshua: Hebrew for "salvation"
Yahweh -- Yeshua: commonly contracted, Yahshua
Yahshua" Yahweh is our Salvation".

Do you want to take apart this supposedly Hebrew grammatical explanation Shmuel, or should I?

Okay, 2 problems here:

1) this discussion is about a man who denies the divinity of Messiah, something that is forbidden on this forum.

2) this thread has turned into a discussion of an anti-messianic site. We don't allow links to it posted, so claims cannot be backed up.

Therefore, this thread is closed.
