Yes, YHWH and YHVH both appear in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The Hebrew language was not compatible with the Greek language. The "sh" sound or the Hebrew Y which had an "e" tang to it was not in the Greek language. For example eYeshua or eyeshuea. We do not have recordings of the ancient Hebrew language but we do have modern Hebrew which gives some insight.
all one has to do is go and examine the history of our own english langague .
First we stemmed from GERMAN . and the german J , it has a Y sound . yeah , you heard that right .
And as often is seen the s can make either a s or a sh sound .
Now pronounced JESUS , it would have sounded more like YESHU . or yeshua .
We ourselves did not even have the letter J or T in our original language or ruinc .
That is why you see the THORN looking P in old english . It was actually scribes
that gave us our latin alphabet . Our written lang auge used to be RUINC .
They simply rewrote it using the latin alpahbet , sounding out words and etc .
Yes .

Yes .

The thing is when you try to translate though the progression of languages, once you get to English it loses its accuracy. It is best to translate from the original language to English. For example, we can say and spell Yeshua, no sense in the gyrations and juggling languages. The names of the Godhead are important.

Well the KJV is the most inaccurate Bible in print, next to the Geneva Bible. It is not written in any existing language. Shakespearean poetry.

and dont you support that ecumenical intefaith world peace plan .
Talk about delusion .
And you worried about the KJV .
Allow me to repeat JESUS for ya in the gospel of JOHN .
HE who recieves HIS TESTIMONY has set to his Seal that GOD IS TRUE .
And now in the letter of john he would say this also , HE who recieves NOT the testimony GOD gave of the SON , calls GOD A LIAR .
PRETTY SIMPLE if ya ask me . AND I DONT need no scholar to try and show me I AM WRONG about that .
So much for satans ecumenical intefaith interreligious dialogue of anti christ peace .
And yet you worried about THE KJV . IF I were you i would be far more concerned
that you dont be a co helper to that harlots message . Do be encouraged now . Have a blessed night .

Are you saying we should start a war with other religions or just against peace in general.
If you notice Yeshua did not tell His followers to start a war with the Romans.
Instead He said that they should obey the existing government, which was the Romans.

Sure they had missions but the scriptures do not speak of a mission to save the Gentiles.
The places the early disciples went were in gentile cities like Antioch. Many gentiles heard the gospel and were saved. But also other peoples from various cultures that were not Jewish.
Of course there can be exceptions but it is a big change when Paul's ministry goes for the Gentiles....It is an obvious change.
These were not exceptions as many were saved. The churh at Antioch was big and growing fast before Paul. Yes Paul was able to set many straight about what Christ represented to the gentiles.

Especially relating to the pagan gods. many were already open to belief in God but they misplaced this. Paul could relate this well and he represented the gospel to all nations like Peter and Matthew did for the Jews.
About the Ethiopian Eunuch, there is no real agreement as to what he was.
The Ethiopian was a Jewish proselyte?
Given the definitions below and assuming those are accurate, how can we ascertain whether the Ethiopian eunuch was a proselyte or just a devout, God-fearing man (Gentile sympathizer)?

  • If a Proselyte, how do we reconcile this with the fact that this would require the Ethiopian to get circumcised to convert to Judaism, which he could not, considering his physical condition?
  • If a Gentile sympathizer, how do we reconcile this with Acts 10 account where Cornelius is assumed to be the first Gentile converted to Christianity? Peter's initial reluctance to visit him (Acts 10:28) demonstrates that Cornelius was considered to be a Gentile sympathizer.
There is an obvious struggle in the story line about converting Gentiles to Christianity.
That is what the meeting in Acts Chapter 15 is about.
Yes because gentiles were recieving the holy spirit which was a sign that they were also able to be saved. This was a pivotal point which officially opened the gospel up to the world.

But this was brought about because from the beginning others besides jews were being saved. I just remembered there was the Roman centurion who bowed before Jesus as lord. Christ said he had seen no greater faith. he was a gentile Roman. That shocked the disciples but was a clear sign that the gospel was already open to gentiles.
And most people that understand the Bible know that the ministry to the Gentiles was Paul's
If we found a scripture that said the twelve Apostle spread the world among the Gentiles, it would pretty much disrupt the storyline.
We have certain truths we can derive from the bible and history and tradition. It is a fact Christ told the 12 and another 70 to go out into the world and preach the gospel. It is a fact that most went beyond Judea. It is a fact that many Christians fled Jerusalem to escape persecution into surrounding areas incldung gentile cities like Antioch.

Putting these together we can safely assume that these disiciples and early Christians spread the gospel and did not keep quiet. at least some spoke of Christ death and resurrection. The 12 plus 70 were specifically equipped to preach the gospel.

Paul is unique in that he was a pharisee but also a Roman citicizen. He encountered the risen Christ who specifically appointed him to preach the gospel to the gentiles. Just as the 12 were appointed initially to preach to the Jews within Jerusalem.

The gospel was already spreading to the gentiles before Paul but God knew that they were going to be the greatest part of Christ church. Paul was the perfect person as though a Jew he thought like a gentile. He understood better than the disiciples who really followed the Abrahamic covenant. But a new covenant was being established.

I think John is a bit different again to the other Jewish disiciples like Peter, James and Matthew. Though also a Jew he seems to understand some aspects of Greco Roman thinking. Ideas like 'in the beginning was the word and the word became flesh'. Or the idea of 'the light'. Contrasting light and darkness.

These are gentile concepts which were prominent at the time. John lived through the 1st century so when writing he had many years of lived experience in seeing how things has changed since Christ and the last diciple died.

So it seems different disciples had different takes on the gospel and how it applied to people and the world.

What is the ecumenical anti Christ peace?
Take a look at the nar and prostestant realm and a look at the RCC . THEY DO ITS WORK .
And if one will not see , if one will not exit this , There shall be no hope for them ON JESUS day .
IT is that serious . They lied to all religoins and to christendom . they lead them to THE LIE
and unto their own Destruction . And though they cry THIS be the way to attain world peace n safety ,
HEED THEM NOT . For on the day of the LORD it will be SUDDEN and SWIFT DESTRUCTION
that shall be RAINED DOWN UPON them all .
HE who recieves His testimony has set to his seal that GOD is true
And he who recieves not the testimony that GOD gave of the SON calls GOD A LIAR . Not gonna bode well for that camp .
WE cannot cliam to BLEIEVE and yet preach and allow UNBELIEF to remain on them false religons . A LIE
has been sold . WE must now exit any connection to this ecumeincal harlot and her many daughters .
The TIME to preach and to procliam the absolute and dire necessity to BELIEVE ON JESUS
and to observe all things HE did teach , is RIGHT NOW . Cause time be running out . THe end cometh .
New heavens and a new earth for all the sheep . Destruction and perditon upon all who denied HIM .

Christians believe in Yeshua but I am still waiting for your definition of ecumenical anti Christ peace.
Many christains believe in A yeshua a jesus . Just not THE YESHUA , THE JESUS .
this too has become a very sad fact .
SO allow me to remind us YET again of THIS MESSIAH and HIS WORDS .
HE who recieves HIS testimony has set to his SEAL that GOD IS TRUE .
HE that recieves not the testimony that GOD gave of THE SON calls GOD A LIAR .
THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE HOLY SPIRIT . AND IT darn sure aint gonna testify
of this LIE i seen all over interfaith interreligious dialgoue .
THE SPIRIT , THE HOLY ONE , TESTIFED TO my heart THAT JESUS IS MESSIAH , IS LORD
DID rise again and TESIFIED HIS WORDS ARE TRUTH and THEY ARE LIFE .
Many sit under men who unlike paul and the true ones do naught but DECIEVE this people and twist and omit
TRUTH for to please man and get fat pockets . OH YEAH grailhunter
PAULA WHITE do the work of satan . AND i aint just picking on her , MANY NOW DO
from the popes to the dopes of protestantville , MANY now follow another spirit and lead this people
TO THE LIE . THE LIE of UNBELEIF. THE LIE .
Paul never , john never , jude never , peter never , heck none of who i read about in the bible NEVER
DID go about to SEEK COMMON GROUND with the false , with the darkness .
But even in their days SOME DID .
And they rebuked them big t ime too .
OH yes there were some trying to appease and to p lease the jewish sanhedrian
SO They too tried to bring the church b ack under the law , SO AS they wo uld not be persecuted .
And paul writes about it . THE OFFENCE OF THE CROSS . OH its gonna offend all right
FOR Every religoin to include the unbelieving jews ARE and DO get offended at the preaching of JESUS .
BUT they have zero problem with finding common gro und and worse under a lie .
You might be wondering why even you perhaps have a big distaste for what i bring .
BUT DO REMEMBER , I bRING JESUS and the DIRE REMINDER that all other religoins are in darkness
and still serve satan , JUST LIKE WE ALL DID at one time . THEY must repent of their wicked satanic religoins .
YOU SEE , satan dont care what god ya worship or what religoin you serve
FOR HE Is father of them all . BUT HE SURE dont like it when men say , NOPE , THEY FALSE
ONLY THOSE WHOSE FAITH bE IN JESUS are t ruly serving GOD . OH THAT HE DO NOT LIKE AT ALL ,
NOR DOES MANY even in christendom . YA BETTER WATCH OUT , YA BETTER WATCH OUT .
