Ok have you ever been asked this question in regards to Isaiah 43:10 ?

by StoneWall in

how could god have always existed since it plainly says near the end of that verse before me there was no god formed?.

here is the quote from the nwt and i also looked it up on numerous other translations and they all used the word before.. .

isaiah 43:10. you are my witnesses, is the utterance of jehovah, even my servant whom i have chosen, in order that you may.

Spike Tassel

Jesus' role as secondary god is true, based on the established holy scriptures, and even pronouncements by the only true God himself.

can anyone confirm what i read on another website that the aid to bible undertsanding, 1971 pages 884-885, admit that the term jehovah is a combination of yhwh and the words adonia and elohim and that scholars generally favour "yahweh" as the correct pronunciation?.

is this correct?.

Spike Tassel

Pronunciation is not the key issue about Jehovah and his name. He even has the nickname Jah, after all. He's quite tolerant (loving) about how people pronounce his name. He'd be fine with us using "He-causes-to-become", as long as we keep our facts straight.

Logically, the vowels in "Jehovah" are e,o,a in that order. This does NOT reflect "a,o,ai" of Adonai [=Lord]. But it DOES reflect e,o,a of Eloahh [=God].

Romans 10:13

by PSacramento in

we all know that the passage from paul's letter to romans, romans 10:13 says:.

"all those who call on the name of the lord will be saved".. now, in the nwt they translate that as jehovah instead of the word "lord", because this is a quote from joel 2:32 and in the ot the tetragrammaton yhwh is used, which the nwt translates as "jehovah" (not only the nwt does that, the asv,yng and dby, do it also in regards to joel).. however, of the 16 translations i have seen, all translate that passage in romans as lords and all the commentaries i have read so far, point to view that paul was applying that passage to jesus, being his name that is salvation.. commentaries by james, fausset and brown, by matthew henry and by barnes, to name only 3.. comments?.

Thanks to Stephen for his elegant summary of this Topic.

The Last (Lord's) Supper

by PSacramento in

i wanted to ask this question beacuse at the last memorial supper it caught my attention more than it ever did:.

why do some (not just the jw's) believe that judas did not partkae of the lord's supper, the bread and the wine?.

in the synoptic gospels of matt, mark and luke, there is nomention of judas being sent away, indeed in luke jesus says "behold the hand of the betrayer at the table with me".. while in john judas is sent away, he is sent after the supper, though it is not clear if this was the lord's supper since there is no mention of the the partaking of the wine and bread in john.. help would be greatly appreciated.. .

Jehovah with his perfect memory could easily provide a video for each and every event if He so chooses. It's His show. He runs it how He wants, when He wants. Timing is everything with Him. Even Jeus must wait on Jehovah's timing.

two witness ruling ?

if a paedophile commits a crime against a junior there has to be, according to the watchtower two witnesses for action to be taken.. if one party of a marriage commits adultery, does there have to be the same, (two witnesses) before action is taken?.

if not........................ kt.

And why some "repentant" people continue to exist outside the JW organization without a way in.

Whether the WT is, in fact, in error is still debatable. A video of the event would be just what we need, with English subtitles.

Christ is the chief agent Jehovah uses to fulfill his written Word, after all.

Isaac may show amibivalence, as the record shows and as I have so pointed out, even if he denies it. Isaac is not God, I agree. The org is like the wheat and the chaff. The final separation hasn't taken place, I suggest.

errors of significance will be properly set straight in the fullness of time. On Jehovah I wait.

John 8:58 (NWT) reads:— Jesus said to them: "Most truly I say to YOU, Before Abraham came into existence, I have been."

The key in Philippians 2:11 is the phrase to the glory of God the Father because, as Jesus stated himself:— The Father is greater than I am.( John 14:28)
