Greetings again Idolater I apologise. I really got it wrong. Yes, they are all members of the Verb To Be family and depending on the tense and context the real meaning needs to be considered. , I mentioned that the margin of the Revised Version has "I will be" for Exodus 3:14, and one of the...

Greetings again Right Divider, I am not sure if @Idolater is as keen now in promoting the LXX rendition of Exodus 3:14 as he was in his original post after I pointed out that the LXX renders Ehyeh in Exodus 3:12 in the future tense "I will be" and the first occurrence of Ehyeh in Exodus 3:14 as...

Greetings again Right Divider, I was responding to what @Lon asked and what @Idolater stated and my impression is that both of these were endorsing what you stated in the OP. As far as the Opening Post is concerned I believe that Jesus represents Yahweh. As far as your thread title is concerned...

Greetings Isolator, Jesus in John 8:58 is not quoting or alluding to the LXX, and it is not "Straight out of the Septuagint". There is no evidence that the normal Jewish audience spoke or understood Greek or be familiar with the LXX. The following is the LXX rendition: Exodus 3:12-14...

Greetings JudgeRightly, There may not be a "he" in the Greek but every modern translation sees the need to add "he" in the English for John 8:24 and John 8:28 for it to make sense in English. No two languages can be exactly translated by simply translating the words as each has its own idiom...

Greetings again Right Divider, I mentioned that the same words in the following in the immediate context are translated "I am he". John 8:24 (KJV): I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. John 8:28 (KJV): Then...

Greetings again Lon, It has been a couple of years since my post, but I had a quick glance at TOL and I had an Alert on this thread. I decided to browse the thread and discovered your question on John 8:58. My brief answer on John 8:58 is that I prefer the translation "I am he", the same as...

Greetings again Right Divider, I trace the theme of The Antichrist from Daniel 7 and the little horn of the fourth beast. I understand the period of time for the supremacy of this power and persecution of the faithful to be 1260 years, covering two overlapping periods of time, from Justinian...

Greetings again Right Divider, As I said, I am happy to be called a heretic by a Trinitarian. It aligns you with the persecution of the faithful over the centuries by the RCC. Roman Catholics and the full range of different and opposing denominations also claim to be Christian. The real...

Greetings again Right Divider, Nice to hear from you again. It was interesting to see Old Hat resurrect this very old thread from a part of the forum that I did not know existed. I do not mind being called a heretic by someone who I assume is a Trinitarian. I believe that there is One God...

Greetings Right Divider, No Jesus is the Son of God, the Son of the One God, Yahweh, God the Father. As a result of his submission to God His Father he has now been highly exalted, and sits at the right hand of God, in God the Father's Throne. Jesus represents Yahweh, and when we bow the knee...

Greetings Jefferson. Deuteronomy 18:15–18 (KJV): 15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let...

Greetings again EliG, If anything Revelation 20:9 indicates that the faithful will be upon the earth. How do you understand Isaiah 2:1-4 and Revelation 5:9-10? Kind regards Trevor

Greetings again EliG, The title of your thread is "The millennium and the truths it teaches us (Rev.20)". It is true that the length of time "one thousand years" only appears in Revelation 20:4,6, but the subject is not confined to this portion of the Scriptures. That is why I nominated a few...

Greetings EliG, I am interested in the Millennium, but I prefer to consider some of the OT passages first. I suggest such passages as Isaiah 2:1-4, Micah 4:1-8, Daniel 2:35,44, Zechariah 14 and also the NT Acts 1:10-11, 3:19-21 and 1 Corinthians 15. Also I am interested in considering the...
