Re: YWHW rendered in oldest LXX?

Well several of the manuscripts from the Dead Sea have YHWH in Paleo-Hebrew letters in the midst of Babylonian Hebrew text (although I can't remember which ones exactly from the top of my head), and the curious manuscript 4QSam c ( 4Q53 Samuel ) uses four large dots • • • • in place of YHWH in its t...

Re: First-Fruits the Third Day?

Hi Theo - I go through this in detail in two of my blog postings: Acts 20:7: Did they really meet on a Sunday? ; and Yahuweh’s Feasts: Fixing the dates Part 1 These are then discussed in the two following topics: Topic 1 | Topic 2 If you have any further questions after reading the following, let us...

Re: YWHW rendered in oldest LXX?

It is certainly true that Yahuweh is rendered as YHWH in the Oldest Greek Manuscripts - not only in Hebrew letters, but Paleo-Hebrew letters!

Re: General Yahushua Questions

SeekingYah's (welcome, btw! :)) last statement pretty much nailed it on the head: "Furthermore, even if it were, the Scriptural evidence still seems to support it" - this, I think, being the main thing that we should be seeking to understand: what does Scripture (and therefore Yahuweh Hims...

Re: General Yahushua Questions

Well, I personally have no idea what a "Shaliach" is.

I also couldn't find the word listed in Scripture either.

Give us a hand with this one, Miles :)

Re: thanks for the DSS transcriptions

You are truly welcome, seraph. It's as much for me as it is for other people. You won't find better and clearer transcriptions of any of the Scriptural DSS anywhere else :) If you want some fantastic quality images for the remaining manuscripts that I haven't got around to transcribing just yet (let...

Re: General Yahushua Questions

Is "el gibbowr" the correct Hebrew term in Isaiah 9:6 translated "Mighty God"? I know you've dug into the DSS so you would definitely know. If so, this doesn't have to mean YHWH does it? 'el Gibbowr is certainly "Mighty God" (or even "Powerful/Strong/Valiant God&q...

Nope. The Messiah has to be God. He wasn't to be referred to as "Immanuel" for no reason :)

Re: General Yahushua Questions

Well, no, the idea of "man/god" is certainly not a Greek one. For the Greeks, they didn't believe in a one Supreme Being, but a Pantheon of 'gods', whom could do whatever the heck it was that they wanted. The demigods such as Perseus, Hercules etc., etc., were the offspring of a god with a...

General Yahushua Questions

I was sent an email recently by a close friend with some pressing questions that he, and several others around the globe, have concerning Yahushua and His relation to Yahuweh. I thought it would be good to start some open discussion on them, to see whether we may be able to reach some sort of consce...

Re: Do You Believe ...

I have, and I gotta say that I'm sick and tired of seeing the same old tired arguments brought forward with absolutely no proof. Let's take the "Virgin myth" stories. The first one mentioned is apparently the "Virgin Queen" of Egypt "Mut-em-ua" giving birth to a Pharaoh...

Re: Do You Believe ...

Rob pretty much said it. "Young Woman", "Virgin" or "sexually inactive" are actually all meanings of the Hebrew 'almah/עלמה in Isaiah 7:14: no one has actually proven that when 'almah/עלמה is used in the Tanakh, it doesn't mean "virgin" in the place that it's ...

Re: feast of weeks

Just another person confirming that Firstfruits and Pentecost always fall on a Sunday, and that the counting of 50 starts from the day after TheSabbath, and not just from the day after Unleavened bread :)

I like how your brother writes, Robdavid. Crystal clear, and very easy to understand :)
