Where do you get the idea that the name of God changes depending on what group of people are referenced?

Just a thorn in my side as I speak 21st American - not 16th century King’s English.

I’m not so sure. A sermon once delved into NATURAL consequences as additional to divine consequences. The destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD by the Roman’s was a natural consequence of their recalcitrance and cold-heartedness. The difference, I compare to the plagues of Egypt, where it was...

Oh God! Not Middle English references. :eek:

Blatant Appeal to Ignorance. You are trying to change the burden of proof and suppose if I cannot convince you it applies to Person X, it must apply to your idol. No. For 700 years Hebrews recognized this verse as not being prophetic. 1100 years after Isaiah wrote the text, trinitarians decided...

Your interpretation of the Bible is wrong. Aren’t the words of the verse that the child will be called these things? Recognizing people say Donald Trump will be re-elected is not quite the same thing as narrating such an event. See the difference?

Because they have an idol that has no explicit Biblical teaching. The only way they can generate "support" is by demanding certain expressions be interpretted in a way that appears to give life to their idol. Like @RLT63 reliance in Post 2564 of an Isaiah passage referring to a child born in...

Not yet. I'm just beginning the process.

But God never said 'my name is Jesus.' He actually said his name was something other than Jesus - to be remembered for all generations. I guess that means little to trinitarians. You say it is Jesus. That must be it, especially since you laced it with all true Christians say this is the case.

4th century trinitarians to make a desperate connection to what Jesus said. Fact is, neither said the great I am.

Well, it goes without saying that one ought not approach learning what God's word is lightly. Jesus spoke in parables. Obviously, these were all figurative. Also, I am reading the Complete Jewish Bible now. The author chose to write in one column to emphasize just how much of the OT is poetry...

The Bible is a highly figurative book. Today I read in the NRSV how God told Abraham his descendants will be as the dust particles on Earth - if they could be counted. I recall reading OT about the Wrath of God. In one verse, he said he would destroy all of Israel so not one survives. Just a...

I'm too exhausted to go into all the details now. My 87-yo friend lost his wife last year and had his daughter move in with him this Spring. Now he regrets it and is a bit despondent, not sure what options he has now. The abuse is emotional/psychological right now. A variety of head games. To...

What a crock! The things people make up on the internet out of thin air is amazing. The personal name of God is not Jesus. I suppose you don't embrace logic's proof by contradiction.

Well, that mighty list begins with Jesus himself. So, there is that.

I looked for it but could not find it. Please link it here and I'll check it out.

I believe technology changed what is the center. Starting with radio, then TV, now the internet. The proliferation of common-interest websites has produced an unprecedented decentralizing of society's across the globe. There could be a brick and mortar church building right across the street...

I look at it from the other way around. YHWH could have reconciled us to him any way he wanted due to his sovereign power. He chose a new covenant that was easiest as a manifestation of his grace, mercy and love. He did not establish a covenant that was inherently contradictory, impossible to...

Right but the fact is Jesus was a Jew, born under the law, required to believe the Shema, that YHWH alone is God. Jews don't believe in a 3in1 God. Jesus is the Jewish Messiah and there is no evidence he ever stopped being Jewish. So, there is that.

No. It's OK. I lost my son. Perhaps it was confusing when I referenced an insurance companies estimate of most stressful events, with a 2 way tie for 1st place being the death of a child or spouse. When I said I want to go back home to be with him, I was referring to my son, not my spouse...
