Somebody says : Since you have no idea what you're talking about, I agree that there is nothing to discuss. YHWH is not God's name! It is the tetragrammaton representing "I am that I am". It was/is never meant to be pronounced. I will repeat... The King James translation is NOT "the...

Somebody says : The King James translation is NOT "the original". There were translations prior to 1611, including the Tyndale, the Geneva, and others. And there are translations afterwards that are better. There is no basis for saying that "the majority of translations have taken away God's...

- My answer : - There is no better translation! - The best one will always be the original! - Since the majority of translations have taken away God's name, the majority are bad translations! - In fact, they should not be called translations at all! - Today's people are influenced by their...

Someone says : I don't understand what you're trying to say when you write "If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!" a) How do today's people think? That is an impossibly broad generalization. b) Since even Biblical scholars disagree about the product of the...

6) - The story of Israel tells us about a people who constantly opposes Yah.weh ! - He tolerated their misconduct ! - He could have destroyed them ! - Finally, they did a bad end ! - Everything he told them not to do, they did it !

5) - In Matthew chapter 19, Jesus says exactly the same ! - He repeats Yah.weh’s commandment about man and woman becoming one flesh ! - And in verse 6 he adds : Therefore οὖν (oun) Conjunction Strong's 3767: Therefore, then. Apparently a primary word; certainly, or accordingly. what ὃ (ho)...

Somebody says : Since Abraham produced a child by his servant, he committed adultery. And he was blessed by God and became the father of many nations. Polygamy was practiced extensively during the OT era. Jacob, a.k.a. Israel, had multiple wives (as did Esau, Gideon). Look at David(!) and...

Somebody says : I don't think it "cleary" shows anything of the sort. Many men in the Old Testament who were blessed by God had multiple wives, and committed adultery as well. One clear example is King David. He was "immoral" but was clearly blessed by God.
