Dear Doug,

 

Please remember that not all members of this list share the same religious views. No-one is expected to hide his or her beliefs, but a pre-condition for discourse on this list is that "members will not use B-Hebrew as a platform for advocating a faith commitment" (from the list rules). Your post below comes very close to this. Please respect the rules so that discussions such as the one that you have been so active in can be allowed to continue.

 

 

Thank you,

 

Yigal Levin,

Co-moderator, B-Hebrew

Yes this thread could go on forever, unfortunately I am not a Hebrew scholar , but have gained a great deal by being a subscriber to your list.

 

May I offer this , if you are a believer in Jesus and lean to Hebrew then you seem to feel a need to keep more to OT and find it a bit hard to let go where as those of us who base our faith on tat how the NT reflects the OT, then how Gods Hebrew name was translated or not translated is irelevant, for to us this name יְהוָ . remains as   יְהוָ .or is now addressed as Lord. 

 

And as believers now we confess Jesus is Lord. The name of Jesus is now the name of our Messiah.

 

Our proof is not in translation but in statements like,

 

Col 3:17 do every thing in word or deed in the name of Jesus .

 

That leaves no other name needed, all our worship must be directed at the name of Jesus.

 

Acts 4:12 Therefore there is no other name by which men may be saved.

 

Phil 2:11 Jesus has a name above all names.

 

Same again, not a translation problem there , just a simply statement.

 

We need no other name than Jesus , thats how it was for the years from the Septuagint till Jerome , and till a resurgence in Hebrew due to the Masoretic study in about the 6th century .

 

Many thanks to all subscribers who show such patience ..
