Greetings again Idolater, The Angels spoke and acted on the One God, Yahweh's behalf. They also had some delegated authority and responsibility as is evident on some occasions. In the NT times Zechariah was struck dumb, and we not told whether God comminicated this, or Gabriel acted on his own...

Greetings again Hark and Greetings oatmeal and Idolater, I am the librarian for my meeting and also have a reasonable personal collection. The following is the LXX from my electronic Bible program and the versions on Bible Hub which is slightly different. I assume these are reasonably correct...

Greetings again Lon, Yes, "I Will Be", "He will be" is the meaning of His Name. Alec Motyer from possibly his last writing before his death, his New Translation of the Psalms in 2016, when he explained why he used "Yahweh" throughout he stated: 'God' is what he is; Yahweh is who he is...

Gretings again Lon, The "Who" is Yahweh, the Name of the One God of Israel, "He who will be". God is not a "what", but you seem to be hung up on this, despite your grammarian skills. There are no further aspects from your post that need to be discussed, especially your last comment. Kind...

Greetings again Lon, This is your assessment, but I am happy with my level of understanding on this subject. In my opinion you have not given a viable explanation. These all give "I will be" as their translation and thus disagree with "I AM". The majority are not always correct, for example...

Greetings again Lon. I have both explained what it says and what it means. Some names are associated with the future, such as Abraham. No, not at all. You are pressing the narrow view, in a vague support for a Trinitarian bias overruling the honest, simple interpretation given by Tyndale and...

Greetings again Lon, I appreciate your many words, but I hold onto "I will be" as the correct translation and meaning of God's Name. "He who will be" reveals who He is and what He was going to accomplish in delivering Israel out of Egypt and bring them into the Promised Land Exodus 3:12, 6:1-8...

Greetings again Lon, I disagree with your assessment. Actually it would have been interesting to have been on the committee that overruled Tyndales' translation of "I wilbe" and insisted on the "I AM" of the KJV, and also the committee that possibly rejected AB Davidson's transaltion "I will...

Greetings again Lon, As mentioned in my last post, the following is from AB Davidson, a prominent Hebrew scholar. In my first post I mentioned that the margin of the Revised Version has "I will be" for Exodus 3:14, and one of the supporters of this rendition could have been AB Davidson as he...

Greetings again Lon, I am not sure whether you are speaking to keypurr or me. I do not endorse what keypurr has stated as I have been mainly stating what I have learnt in my environment and mainly my specific fellowship, nothing very outstanding, but bread and butter in my fellowship. But...

The Yahweh Name (cont’d) The previous two Posts established that Yahweh is the One God who acted to deliver Israel out of Egypt. There are many passages after these events where the Yahweh Name appears and perhaps one of the most important of these is mentioned below, and this is extensively...

Greetings JudgeRightly and Greetings again Right Divider, I am of the persuasion that it was Paul. The Letter to the Hebrews was specifically written to the Hebrew Christians who were in danger of sliding back into Judaism as the events of AD 70 started to develop, and the exhortation to go...

Greetings again Right Divider, The Letter to the Hebrews possibly is written by Paul, but the following is where the title “Son of Man” appears, and considered together with Psalm 80:17, both are talking about Jesus, his humanity, and his being strengthened by God to achieve salvation. Hebrews...

Greetings Right Divider, John 12:20-26 (KJV): 20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: 21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and...

Greetings Tigger 2, I understand that the difference is that "Ehyeh", "I will be" is the first person singular and "Yahweh", "He will be" or "He who will be" is the third person singular. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings Bradley D, Yes, we need to grow, and it is a lifetime pursuit that we do not fully arrive at. You may be interested in the use of the two different words for "love" in this passage, and it helps to understand what Jesus is saying and seeking to achieve here better. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings again Lon, No, I do not believe in the pre-existence of Jesus. I would possibly suggest that Jesus is saying that he was part of the plan and purpose of God before Abraham, Genesis 3:15 for example. I therefore carry over the "I am he" as being the same as John 8:24,28. My...

Greetings again Lon, I suggest that a correct understanding of the whole passage and context including the earlier interaction in John 8 about being children of Abraham and the usage of the same phrase in John 8:24 and John 8:28 helps. Also my impression on how Trinitarians understand John...

Greetings again Lon, I disagree as I accept that there is a definite flow of the same idea from John 8:24,28 to John 8:58 and this theme starts in John 1 and ends at John 20:31. Also I do not accept the accents shown in the modern Greek NT texts, as these were not part of the original, and the...

Greetings again Lon, There are in my understanding two different views on Exodus 3:14. One is the present tense and speaks of God's present existence and possibly could, but especially with God would include his future existence. The other view is not speaking of God's existence, but of course...
