Tradition of men

[ArmyMatt]

"Using this template {{small capitals for the Hebrew name for God (the Tetragrammaton, יהוה), transliterated as YHWH) or Jehovah (English pronunciation), as it is translated in the King James Bible and other English Bibles: the LORD. This name is a rendering of the distinctive personal name of the God of Israel.

The all caps or small caps writing differentiate this from "Lord" in normal type, which is the standard translation for the Hebrew epithet אדני (transliterated Adonai), meaning "Lord". "

*And doesn't this subtopic of the Name sum this whole discussion up in a nutshell, so to speak? Contrasting the Design of Elohim with the designs of men.

gotta love using Wikipedia as a resource.

that being said, this very reference you make speaks of the translation of the King James Bible, which was not the Bible of the Apostles.

You're right, theirs had it in Hebrew.

still not YHWH, which doesn't directly translate to Lord or LORD.

The traditions of men...

Why not...oh, because they don't honor your tradition...

 

[ArmyMatt]

You're right, theirs had it in Hebrew.

actually they had it in both Greek and Hebrew, but they wrote the NT in Greek.

The traditions of men...

not really, YHWH does not directly translate as Lord or LORD.

 

[ArmyMatt]

Why not...oh, because they don't honor your tradition...

no, because it's not good research. and the Apostles didn't write in King James English. honoring my tradition has nothing to do with that.

It was/is Rabbinic tradition to use haShem, which your tradition, pretty much, honors by not using YHWH.

I know, just like Jesus does not translate to Yahshua.

*Is there a way I can give my own post the winner icon?

If you need to do that, you are by definition a loser.

But, you can't tell me you never wanted to do the same...or maybe just tempted a little bit?

you don't know that much about us. we do use YHWH.

 

[ArmyMatt]

Jesus is just a linguistic difference. it's not a direct translation, just the Greek version of the name. it's not the same difference as between YHWH and Lord or LORD.

Any good that might possibly come out of something I posted would only be by the grace of God. I don't have high expectations of that happening however, as my posts tend to have too much of me in them and not enough of Christ.

So for a few weeks now I lay on the floor next to my sons bed to help him sleep. I just read this entire thread over the time I was there.

Wow...

I mean... There has been alot of great stuff said here but other comments...

In anycase, most of Orthodoxy in America is comprised of converts, specifically from Protestantism. Ill just say those of us who are, theres a reason we left.

I can only speak for myself here but tracing Christian history back to its roots there is one church thats stands tall. The one True Church.

What if we ALL prayed like this?

Happy Pesach!!!
