  @tec: Aww thank you... I don't know why my computers have suddently thrown this wobbly. Myelaine, bless her, has been hand walking me through this (HAVE A GRRRRREAT HOLIDAY IN B.C. MYELAINE!).

  If this interim post, makes it, then I know that the P.C at work is compatible to this forum, but the problem exists on my home computer (different email there too).

  Nice for me to be back in kindergarten, tec.

  @Essan: I am disappointed in your rhetoric. I have no desire to enter into melodrama... just to understand the point of view of others.

  Psalm 2, reads absolutely perfectly to me... Almighty God and his begotten Son, I am assuming is Jesus.

  This thread Jesus is Jehovah/Jehovah is Jesus. NOT according to the Psalmist. Again, please, end 45 years of trying to understand Trinitarian circular argument. How is a Trinitarian to explain Psalm 2, please? I am the pupil here.

  @Snowbird: I have read Exodus 3:14 and John 8:58. I beseech you to read John 8:57 to put the following verse into context and then read up on the translation of the verse. You will be enlightened. Jehovah is not Jesus, honey....

  but, Jesus is the Son of God, our appointed Saviour, begotten of his Father... Psalm 2 et al

  P.S Hugs to you and all happiness with Mr S.

  @Essan: *thanks for the empathy*

  I have read your reply, thank you, (and already submitted mine!)...

  Whenever I read the Scriptures I try my best to put myself in context with the people of the time. In a difficult situation the first question I ask myself is "What would Jesus have done?"

  The letter to the Galatians was written around 40-50 AD, and I am aware of the struggle that already existed in that region and Paul's great concern for the brothers. That is why I wanted to focus on the Jewish mindset...

  After your critique... could you please attempt to explain to me Psalm 2...

  I have tried to understand this with "Trinitarian" eyes, as I have many of the references made by Paul and others to the Psalms.

  To me the reading is so simple... but, I am willing to accept a Trinitarian view.

  How possibly can Jesus be Jehovah? I await your considered reply. Thanks

  @Essan: I don't know why I should apologise for the fickleness of this forum and its relationship to my PC... but I will, in deference! My apologies.

  It is hard to maintain continuity of discussion on boards like this... but you did have a shot at trying to understand my own stance in this matter. I have no desire to enter into character assassination, just to evoke different points of view. I am sure you will agree there has been an interesting set of opinions offered.

  I was trying to bring the reader back to Galatians 1:8 and the warning of "another Gospel". ... to a Christian Jew listening to that letter from Paul.

  Then, I wanted to ask your opinion of that man's understanding of PSALM 2.... the whole of it, not an individual verse.

  I am withholding comment deliberately, other that to say, that I have tried my very best to read that Psalm, and many others with a "Triune" concept in mind. It just does not work.

  Jesus and Jehovah CANNOT be one and the same. That is my stance. In human terms, I see it as a loving Father and Son relationship, with all the Royal trappings and tributes. My Bible reads easily... I am quite happy to have others chip away at it, and consider those opinions... after all as many have stated here, we are not going to level a 2000 year hot debate with one posting on a dissident notice board.

  Thanks for bearing with me and my computer.
