What?! No answer? Shocked! I’m shocked.

Still relying on copy and paste as a substitute for you making an argument. I don’t use the term Jehovah. Point is. Certainly, ‘LORD’ is not Jesus’ God’s name.

From your own links; it is a translation. Of his real name. Is Jesus the real name of the son of God?

The test of salvation per the NT is to have the humility to admit you cannot meet the standard on your own and need a savior, aka faith. If you have such pride as to assert your own strength of character will meet God’s standard - without reliance on his son - you have doomed yourself.

I never heard that! Yeshua is the name Mary called her son when dinner was ready. His God's name is YHWH. I don't like that we change proper names when translating but we do. Those names are in English, Jesus and his God Jehovah. I know that you know that.

Many people make this mistake. They fixate on why while ignoring WHAT. Fact is, God's name, his personal name was removed from Scripture some 7,000 times. Understanding why, is secondary. Calling it a conspiracy changes nothing. What lengths do you think Satan would go to not give glory to God?

Exactly. Removing God's name from his book is not a function of technology. It is a moral choice. @RLT63 asked if we know WHY. My reply is to focus on the WHAT. I truly do not care why people from an ancient land altered God's word. Of all God's word, the one I most want to know is his personal...

Why matters not to me. Give me the facts and I'll draw my own moral conclusions.

And removing God’s personal name makes a mockery of when Jesus taught us to pray. Hallowed be thy name? What name is that?

What is God's name and what verse says it?

I believe it means to be equally yoked. My BIL recently got engaged, 7 months after his wife of 25 years past away. The year before a friend got divored. He was also married nearly a quarter century. My friend is opposed to dating a woman who smokes. Has not even had one girlfriend yet since...

Allow me to make a reasoned defense of those who say not to spiritualize or over-spiritualize Scripture. One of the sayings I hate is 'happy medium' because it implies something that is not necessarily true, such as compromising with evil. So, the subject comes down to proper discerning of...

So do I. My point is the shock after being immersed in worship music to the spiritually harshness of secular music. Doubtful coincidence. Providence must have guided me to those harsh secular songs after spiritual immersion. The contrast was striking.

Some transgressions are so egregious, one time offenses are sufficient. You seem to expect others to have a high tolerance for unacceptable behavior, a sure sign of an unhealthy boundary. I meant to address this in my original response. Just once, you wanted someone to 'see this very dark...

A funny meme to lighten the mood.

Drivenfuture, Welcome to CyB. You present a difficult and painful introduction. My heart goes out to you. I will respond with the truth, in love, as much as I can. This is powerful feedback. No one wants to be told that they are barely tolerable. Notice your words. You did not say the Pastor...

Although that is not what I said, yes. Absolutely yes. We are not supposed to worship parchment.

Sorry. I was not directing my post to you. Rather, leap frogging on your points, which I agree with. The notion of having a dictionary handy when reading is always a good idea. However, I want to better learn my language, not dead languages. The IDOLATRY of KJV-only folks is sad.

What does it mean that you keep 'speaking' too soon? I was going to bring up the flood also. Glad you are considering other parts of Scripture. :)

Not all need a dictionary when reading an obsolete language? WTH?! This shows the KJV-only crowd has no compassion for those who rely on translators to translate God's word in the own vernacular.
