Credentials do not matter, even some of the apostles were unlearned men and had no credentials,
Their credentials were that they were chosen and taught by the Messiah, and they passed what they learned down via the word of God.
although if it does matter, I happen to be an intelligent man in terms of the world, as I am a software engineer by trade and am highly sought after by fortune 500 companies here in America and very good at what I do and very successful, so I am not just some idiot Joe Schmoe reading some text and surmising whatever I want to surmise. I am smart, I study things thoroughly in detail,
There's a difference between being smart and being an expert. I'm pretty smart by human standards. I'm really good at troubleshooting computer problems (former job) and writing marketing materials (current job), but if someone wanted to know how to fly an airplane I woulds refer them to somebody who knows how to do it.
The same goes for Hebrew and Greek translations. I've done my share of studying, and can use a lexicon/concordance as well as the next person, but there are people who have devoted a lot of time to studying the root languages because they want to know the truth. I respect those people and the fact that their opinion carries a lot more weight than mine by virtue of the fact that they have taken the time to learn and know what they are talking about, not because they're "smarter than I am" or vice versa.
but because I want to know the actual truth, not what some hypocrite teaches behind a pulpit.
I'm sure there are lots of hypocrites behind lots of pulpits, but that certainly doesn't account for every church in the world, or even the U.S., or even a specific state, city, or town. There is nothing in the doctrine of the mainstream orthodox church that cannot be supported by strong scriptural passages.
I especially despise and loathe pastors of megachurches that teach their doctrines, while then flying in their private jets, while Iesou Christ did not even have a pillow to lay his head on.
Despise and loathe are very strong words, and words that are strongly spoken against when applied to people.
Also, these original texts are publicly available online and any person can look them up and study them. This being in the burning bush was indeed an angel, and called himself by name, YHWH. I did not come up with this, its in there. I do not claim to be anyone special, but I do have some insight. And I've chosen to share this insight over the past few months, as I felt compelled to do so.
As you yourself have acknowledge, prepositions didn't exist in the original Hebrew language. Thus, interpreters insert prepositions where the context makes the meaning clear.
In this example, after God [Elohim] called to Moses from the midst of the bush, He [Elohim] named Himself YHWH
. Similarly, we read in Genesis that God [Elohim] created the heavens and the earth, and in chapter 2 that the LORD God [literally Elohim YHWH] created the heavens and the earth. Thus YHWH is seen already in the OT as a specific person of the being Elohim.
