chrissy;73381]Why the does Matthew 1:2 say "Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;" Where did Judas come in? Mmmm... very interesting. A HUGE mistake said:No step for a stepper:Matthew is written in Greek.Mat 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Mat 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; Mat 1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; Mat 1:4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; Genesis is written in Hebrew.Gen 29:35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing. The name "Judah" is Hebrew (H3063 ) The name Judas is the Greek spelling of the same name ( G2455) . It only takes a little ability to see the languages of Scripture.
So I think I understand that you are saying that Judas is the greek spelling of Judah? May I ask what then is the greek spelling of the actual name "Judas", as in Iscariot? With your conclusion, then you are saying there is no difference between the names Judah and Judas, Is that correct?gervais;73382 said:The name "Judah" is Hebrew (H3063 ) The name Judas is the Greek spelling of the same name ( G2455) .

May I ask what then is the greek spelling of the actual name "Judas" said:gervais is exactly right, I dont get your attitude seems you study the bible with the intent of proving God Word wrong instead of questioning and wanting to learn his truth and going about learning how to do that. Do you think all of those who have studied these things for their entire lives are so much dumber than you that they would have not caught on were there all these simple obvious errors, you think you see. This is not the correct attitude to have if you are truly interested in leaning about the God you claim to accept as yours. Now if you want to learn about Names and the differance between Hebrew and greek you can look here http://www.christnotes.org/dictionary.php?dict=hbnall you have to do is look under J find the names and click and you will find Judah and Judas are the same name differnt language ... And just because two people share a name means nothing ... There were many Mary's in scripture yet only one was the Mother of Jesus. Marion is the same as Mary, so what, it doesnt mean Marion was Jesus mother. So in the same way just because Judah and Judas are the same name differnt language doesnt mean they are the same person or were even alive at the same period of time.

Mat 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas (G2455) and his brethren; G2455ἸουδάςIoudasee-oo-das'Of Hebrew origin [H3063]; Judas (that is, Jehudah), the name of ten Israelites; also of the posterity of one of them and its region: - Juda (-h, -s); Jude.If you are going to be really studying Scripture you will want to proper tools to use to help you. I believe there is an area on this forum that will give you the best tools to use for the job. But keep asking questions, I'll answer them for you.
chrissy;73388]Yea gervais I do have a strongs concordance. It is good to have tools. Well I guess this is to Christina: I just think The King James bible was put "together" by king James. He chose the many books to be put together. I do think God said:He was a KING, He didn’t do much work himself. He commissioned the Bible with his name on it, ie: he paid for it. Have you ever heard of a work called, “The Massorah?” Scriptures were written in Hebrew, Chaldee, and Greek, not old world English?

He chose the many books to be put together. I do think God said:Learn to research these things Chrissy King James wrote nothing he merely put together a team of scholars to translate the manuscripts and decide which books were to be included. At put it into a book form You think God could create the World and all that's in it, and was so inefficient that he couldn't see to it that The Book that would be claimed as his word, was not as he intended it to be ?... The dead Sea scrolls found in 1947 were 1000's of years older than KJV yet the books that were complete were nearly word for word identical ...Proving it has changed very little from KJ time only in modern translations has it been changed ... It was then only named KING JAMES Version after him he didn't write it ..It was already written .
Christina;73393]You think God could create the World and all that said:I believe the bible is put together the way The Lord intended it to be. Just the same that there is a false prophet in whom the world will follow and turn away the two witnesses. The Lord did intend that to be as well. Revelation 2:2. I think this can occur here in the books that were put together.
