I'm asking questions but you guys keep ignoring them. TYPICAL APOSTATE TACTIC! I'll ask again! Why was the Tetragrammaton not used when the New Testament quoted the Old Testament?

Don't bother with his comments because I already know what they say.. He didn't influence and certain verse translation.
I'm sure you know about the Coptic Translation, which translated John 1:1 to "a god" in 200-300 AD. Harwood, 1768, "and was himself a divine person Newcome, 1808, "and the word was a god Thompson, 1829, "the Logos was a god Goodspeed 1939 "the Word was divine
You're basically says it cannot be translated this way, and that is false. Translating to "Word was God" actually destroys the Greek Grammar. -

fifi40 I know what apostate means, and I'm using it in the correct term. Yes, all apostates don't believe in the trinity, but they do turn back to false teachings. AuldSoul I'm saying Jesus didn't lead us to himself, meaning to glorify him.. He lead us to the Father.

AK - Jeff All pure assertions? You're saying all the bible researchers comments are all pure assertions? A lot of non-bias bible researchers will tell you that they aren't assertions. Its not a assertions, sorry.. Its a fact. Clearly, you just deny what information they found, and you reject the obviously. Typical apostate.

AK - Jeff Johannes Greber didn't influence the John 1:1 translation. Also, many translations and translators translate John 1:1 to a god or a divine being. Yes, well over 30 Bibles/Translations. eclipse Understand what I said - I said show me a verse!

eclipse I know all about it, so you're just wasting your time quoting someone else post. AuldSoul I already heard this many times, so you don't even have to bother. What you're not getting is that why was didn't the Tetragrammaton appear in the New Testament when the Old Testament was quoted? Also have a look below. "Matthew, that is also Levi, that became an apostle after having been a tax collector, was the first to write a Gospel of Christ in Judea in the Hebrew language and Hebrew characters, for the benefit of those who where circumcised that had believed. It's not know with enough certainly who had then translated it in Greek. However the Hebrew one it self is preserved till this day in the Library at Cesarea, that the martyr Pamphilus collected so accurately. The Nazarenes of the Syrian city of Berea that use this copy have also allowed me to copy it". From the Latin text edited by E.C.Richardson, published in the series Texte und Untersuchungen zur Geschicte der altchristlichen Literatur, vol.14, Lipsia, 1986, pp.8,9. In Aquila’s Greek version, dating from the second century C.E., the Tetragrammaton still appeared in Hebrew characters. Around 245 C.E., the noted scholar Origen produced his Hexapla, a six-column reproduction of the inspired Hebrew Scriptures: (1) in their original Hebrew and Aramaic, accompanied by (2) a transliteration into Greek, and by the Greek versions of (3) Aquila, (4) Symmachus, (5) the Septuagint, and (6) Theodotion. On the evidence of the fragmentary copies now known, Professor W. G. Waddell says: “In Origen’s Hexapla . . . the Greek versions of Aquila, Symmachus, and LXX [Septuagint] all represented JHWH by ????; in the second column of the Hexapla the Tetragrammaton was written in Hebrew characters.” (The Journal of Theological Studies, Oxford, Vol. XLV, 1944, pp. 158, 159) Others believe the original text of Origen’s Hexapla used Hebrew characters for the Tetragrammaton in all its columns. Origen himself stated that “in the most accurate manuscripts THE NAME occurs in Hebrew characters, yet not in today’s Hebrew [characters], but in the most ancient ones.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry for my stupid quote! Anyways, here it goes! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nimzo, Why do Jehovah's Witnesses deny so much that the Bible plainly teaches? For instance: Jesus is the mediator for all mankind, yet Jehovah's Witnesses teach that he is only the mediator for 144,000. For instance: Jesus said his disciples would be persecuted for his name's sake, yet Jehovah's Witnesses have never been persecuted for the sake of Jesus' name. Ever. For instance: Every Christian has a responsibility to use their own powers of discernment and to reach their own conclusions in order to mature spiritually, yet Jehovah's Witnesses claim that a "mature christian" will not "harbor private ideas" about Bible understanding. (Hebrews 5:11-6:3) And you stand at the sidelines of spirituality asking after the nature of God, as if the nature of God is more important than a relationship. You have a King, High Priest, ransomer, redeemer, savior, and yoke-bearer with whom you are doctrinally forbidden to speak. Exactly what kind of personal relationship can you possibly have with Jesus, given that you can't speak to him? Respectfully, AuldSoul -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow, ignore the the teachings? Wow, thats funny! False Christians deny most of the Bibles teachings! HAHAH! Mediator - Show me a scripture where that says he is a mediator for all mankind. Persecution - False. The Jehovah's Witnesses have always persecuted for his name sake because they are the only ones doing his will. Who else is doing the Will of the Father and of Jesus Christ? Theres many things that goes with this, but this is just a few. "Exactly what kind of personal relationship can you possibly have with Jesus, given that you can't speak to him?" What Kind of question is this? How can you have a relationship with God, when you don't recognize the father? Jesus led is to the Father, he didn't lead us to himself. We always have a relationship with God and with Jesus Christ to what we pray about and to who we pray through.

I don't see no happy face. :| Anyway, I'll just use the persons name. eclipse How can you say that they inserted Jehovah's name? Do you know the NT quoted the OT where Tetragrammaton is used? I guess you think they pronounced it Lord and not YHWH. Riiight ;). The proof we have today is the oldest manuscripts of the book of Matthew, where the Tetragrammaton is used.
