William Tyndale was a biblical scholar in his time. His translation of the Bible was a challenge in his day, as the Church did not want the Bible to be translated into the common languages of the people and persecuted those who tried to do so. Tyndale could not translate the entire Bible, but he...

Checking on one of the first English versions of the Bible, translated directly from manuscripts in the original languages, I found the William Tyndale's Bible, made by him between 1522 and 1536. This is his translation of Exo. 3:13,14: Tyndale Bible in old English: Exo. 3:13 Than sayde Moses...

I was talking about Christian biblical writers and witnesses of Jesus at the time, not about the Jews. Didn't you know that the New Testament writers quoted from the LXX most of the time they were referring to an OT passage? In the Greek LXX the phrase Ehyeh asher ehyeh is translated in a...

A curiosity for those who read and learn new things with this topic: At the time of Jesus Christ the non-Jews read the Scriptures in Greek with the LXX. The disciples of Jesus quoted from it i(n Greek) because that version of the OT was well known at the time, and that was the common language...

@marks , I am not having any discussion with you, since from the very beginning you are getting personal in your posts on my topic. You accuse me of having an agenda, and now want to make me talk about what you want or about the "credentials" I need to talk about what I am talking about. If you...

About that part of your post, I already asked you to open your own topic about that ... I see you do not have many opened topics in the forum, but try to divert others' topics. That is not correct.

I guess you do not accept that Ehyeh asher ehyeh does not mean I am who I am but I will become what I will become. I guess you'll have to investigate the matter on your own. I already did it and I'm just sharing my conclusions.

Any Christian who wishes can invest some of his time, money, and some effort in learning Hebrew or Greek, comparing versions of the Bible, and looking up biblical matters on many serious related Internet websites. What is not necessary to have access to accurate biblical information is a degree...

I do not agree ... and that is not the issue of this thread. If you open another topic about it, I'll probably share some ideas I came to with my Bible study ... and read what you have to say.

One thing Jesus never said, and it is "I am I AM". The I AM invention is supposed to be a name, the "I am" Jesus used was a personal pronoun (sometimes ommited) and a personal form of the verb TO BE ... nothing about a name I AM. We find in the Scriptures many examples of others using the...

I understand that some people who claim to be Christians get aggressive when they hear something that questions their traditional beliefs, but they should understand that I am very interested in helping other more reasonable and less violent people to realize what they need to know. Whoever...

God has a real personal name to identify Himself in a personal way; it defines the total of his identity and uniqueness, as the personal name of a human being distinguishes him from the rest of human beings or from any living being that can be named. My name refers to my identity and my person...

Humans may not be able to dare to remove God's name out of His own book on their own, but there are unseen enemies that can goad some people into doing what they set out to do. When God's name is removed from the Bible (at least YHWH is accurate), it depersonalizes the God who bears that name...

I appreciate everyone's participation in the topic. My purpose was not to discuss the doctrine of the trinity here, for that teaching is many false ideas tied together to come to many different false conclusions. Saying that the trinity is a false teaching leads nowhere. It's more productive to...

The reason I opened this topic is that in my study of the book of Acts I have found direct references to Jehovah, even though his name is not specifically mentioned. The most interesting thing about the matter is that although the name is not mentioned, the referenced passages of the OT do...

Let's call Jehovah the name of God in the OT, as it is the name in English. In the Greek manuscripts of the NT that we have so far we do not find the Hebrew name of GOD, although in Hebrew translations of the NT it does appear. Is the Hebrew GOD, Jehovah, mentioned in the NT in any other way...

I am sure for others like me the matter will be important. Correcting mistakes is for the wise. That is one of the purposes of the Christian forums and opening topics on it. Thanks for your time and have a good one.

The Hebrew verb hayah is not simply to be (in English), but TO BECOME; and its form ehyeh is not present but future. After I learned that I asked myself: Where this supposed name of God I AM came from? From the use of an English translation of the Bible that translated it that way? Does...

There was a time I didn't think that way. Since I learned that the Hebrew Ehyeh asher Ehyeh does not mean I am who I am I can't feel the same way when listening a Christian saying the false expression "Jesus is the Great I AM".

Why should what I post come from somewhere if I have not mentioned any source of information other than what I have studied myself? Could you stop diverting the subject to personal matters? Have you already understood that there is no name of God "I AM"? That "name" does not come from the...
