Bible Quiz—it's fun and challenging
#57
RE: Bible Quiz—it's fun and challenging
I agree with the premise with what you're saying, but not the detail.

Well that's plainly incorrect as Jehovah/Yehovah/Jehowah/Yehowah is a direct transliteration as is YHWH, and does not represent anything other than the Tetragrammaton. Yahweh is a composite, and not a direct transliteration. Just like Jesus is a transliteration of ἸΗΣΟῦΣ which itself represents and is a translation of ישוע another transliteration from Hebrew is جسس. Nobody argues that Jesus/Joshua/Yesus/Yoshua/Jeshua/Yeshua isn't all the same Hebrew name - and we all agree that "Jesus" was never the correct pronunciation of the Hebrew name, and just because it was written down transliterated into Greek doesn't mean it was ever vocalized at the time of Christ as a Greek variant. Yet that doesn't make his name being "Jesus" as opposed to "Joshua" wrong, and the same applies to the Tetragrammaton, and the fact that it too can be transliterated in different ways into English.

And in order to make his argument he is appealing to Christian apologetics, Christian scholars for his answer. He doesn't get his answer from the Jews, which use "Yehovah" (although they don't say it - well actually some do and that's how we know how the Jews pronounce it), or from the Muslims who teach that the Tetragrammaton isn't a name. But even so, all Christians pretty much recognize that any why you write the Tetragrammaton as a transliteration: YHVH/YHVH/JHWH/YHWH/Jehovah/Yehovah/Jehowah/Yehowah/Jahweh/Yahweh you are writing one and the same thing. The question didn't ask anything about vocalization, and in written form virtually all Christians would agree that all are correct, and in written form they are all equal, and we even recognize LORD as representing it too.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
