  Yet another Septuagint manuscript using the divine name found

  by slimboyfat in

  2. bible

  larry hurtado mentioned on his blog that yet another early manuscript of the septuagint has been found that uses the divine name instead of lord (kurios), this time representing the divine name with ancient hebrew letters (yhwh) in what is the earliest extant copy of the psalms in greek.

  hurtado argues that the use of the definite article before the divine name indicates that the manuscript relies on earlier copies that used lord (kurios), but the fact remains that all the earliest copies of the septuagint that have survived use some form of the divine name and none use lord (kurios) as a substitute.

  that's about ten out of ten for manuscripts of the septuagint earlier than mid-second century c.e so far.. http://larryhurtado.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/new-oxyrhynchus-manuscripts/.

  the drama continues, i log on to facebook this morning and notice that i have about 20 some odd personal messages from people calling me an apostate to they will return to me when i return to jehovah.. all of this based upon my brother informing others that i have "apostate thoughts".

  my mother also encourage long-time famil friends to "unfriend" me because i have taken my stand on the side of satan... wow.

  don't you just love this international brotherhood.

  It is almost as if I am watching a TV show. Like this was never suppose to happen to me. The good part is, I am not really hurt...

  Moving on is going to be easy for me because I have my wife and kids in tow so nothing else really matters

  I plan to gather them all up in an email and send said email to everyone I knew.

  I will then change my facebook account and go underground.

  I dont hate these people, I hate what they have become

  Here are my favorites:

  From a longtime family friend: My dear brother,

  I have heard news that you have decided to turn your back on the one true organization because you were not recognize for your own abilities. This reminds me of Korah. Do you know what happened to him? Do you wish this to be your outcome? Surely you love your children and what about <wifes name>?

  Your selfish course will cost them their lives if you continue to allow your pride to cause you to deviate from the faithful slave. <blah blah blah>

  You must ultimately ask yourself what is more important, the stroking of ones own ego, or the life of your family?

  ================================================================================================

  When I read this email I recieved from <someone who hasn't offically spoken to me in 3 years> my knees came weak! Tell me this isn't true. I will wait call from you. Until then I can no longer speak to you.

  ==============================================================================================

  Yo,

  Your brother told me you are against Jehovah now??? I am done with you.

  ============================================================================================

  I would go through more but it just seems useless

  @StAnn - Sometimes, to live a life of integrity, you have to be willing to lose those who love you conditionally.

  Where has the money gone??????

  after all the real estate sell offs, im confidently sure that the wts must be a flush with cash (well at least for the present time).

  i cant believe how blissfully un-aware the local dubbies are about where the money has gone and what it is been used for.

  so my question is where has all this money gone??

  It is actually becoming fun to see just how low people will stoop who said without hesitation they would give their life for me. If my wife wasn't onboard this would probably send me into a fit - thank GOD that she is with me

  this is a letter i received today with my brother turning on me based on something that was told to him by my crazy mother.

  he works for me, yet has not spoken a word to me in months because he is a self-righteous little dick.. .

  what i would like to know from someone who knows the law, is it possible i can sue him if he pressures people to not work with me because of my religious beliefs????
