Hi ***..

I made a mistake in the last letter.

>Probably more in passages at Joel, Jehovah is used like a 'proper noun', not pronoun.

A bit more on this matter.

Please read Acts 2:17 to 21 more carefully. In verse 17 the word God appears. In Greek it is theos so it's OK. However in the verse 20 and 21 the use of Jehovah ought to be replaced in lord since Greek term for these two is kyrios, usually translated as lord and means either Jehovah or Jesus.

I think verse 20 is talking about the second coming of Jesus

I think verse 21, 'of' was genitive in Greek as kyriou, so the name of lord can read simply lord's name, that is in this case Jehovah.

The use of term 'lord' is simply ambiguous, but we can't automatically replace here in Jehovah at any time.

I'm happy to talk about it soon.

Anyway it's religion. In the end we can believe what we are eager to believe. :-)

mercedo saidI wonder how accurate your knowledge is! Not sure but I believe Elohim means simply One God, on the other hands YHWH is used as proper noun, literally means God makes. They say Elohim was Israel origin and YHWH Juda. Hm. Elohim is a plural form, actually - El is the singular, and we don't find that except as ending in personal names, e.g. Mika-el. It may simply mean "god", or it may be the name of a tribal god other than Jahveh. We/they don't know.The original form is Jahveh, and that is with certainty a proper name - like Apollon or Thor. They changed the vowels in it because it became too holy to pronounce or write in its original form. Thus they got Jehovah which resembles the present causative participle of the verb "to be"; it means "the one who makes things be". That etymology is found I forget where, I think in Exodus, and it is a completely false one.The above has been taught me by University professors who had studied Hebrew for 20 years. I assume it's accurate.

Then Kyrios might become Christ by adding 't' after crucification.

In many versions of Old Testament, capital letter LORD is used in place of YHWH. As you say, no tetragrammaton appears in Greek scriptures, therefore lord instead of LORD is used in New Testament, generally.

ullangoo said "of" is expressed by a genetive in Greek (kyriou). That's what I wanted to know though I can't on my own.Your reply includes all what I wanted to confirm. Thanks!!!

ullangoo saidPlease don't misquote me. I am very sorry as to this. The quotation was susceptible to misunderstanding. You said 'Pilate probably thought Jesus was crazy, but what he said was neither blasphemy nor treason according to Roman law. and I quote what Pilate might have thought, not you. I think you defended Jesus very appropriately.
ullangoo wrote today at 2:03 AM
The text does not say "Jehovah" at all; it says: "And it shall happen [literally 'be'] that everyone who calls the LORD'S name shall be saved." The Greek word for 'lord' is kyrios; your "of" is expressed by a genetive in Greek (kyriou). No text varieties are given in my edition for this verse. Your translation is - er, interpreting. 'Kyrios' often refers to Jesus. It's Peter talking here, not Jesus. When he refers to God, he says "theos", not Jehovah.
I have read somewhere it was Antiochus IV Epiphanes (215–164 BC) who was mainly called ' a son of God' , of course not all Caesars were called so though.
Jesus was crazy
I had just too many extra time in my 3rd grade in university, so I became a counsellor for about half a year. Then I had an strong impression that clients who have been suffered from schizophrenia showed a strong similarity with what Jesus said. One of the features I noticed in the schizophrenics is they are too logical to live in this illogical world, especially they were logic in language.
I'm not certain whether Jesus was suffered from schizophrenia, though, it's Ok even if he was so. In the end all people are more or less crazy. It's Ok as long as he doesn't do harm to others.
what he said was neither blasphemy nor treason according to Roman law.
I think he was crucified violating some statute in Roma Empire, otherwise we have to think he was executed in kangaroo court. Is it only me who thinks Romans were too proud of their judicial system to kill innocent people?
God and the name of him

Hello ***,

I was confused myself... Read especially Acts 2:21 more carefully. Both Acts and Joel 2:32 says ' the name of Jehovah'. I have to check the grammar of 'of' in original language, but it seems not 'the name' is 'Jehovah' and it's more likely that means 'Jehovah's name'

If his name is Jehovah, these passages ought to be written as 'Jehovah, the name of God'.
It seems Jehovah simply means God in these passages. I can read these passages as 'the name of God is unknown but call him in our mind'.

Probably more in passages at Joel, Jehovah is used like a pronoun. Basically Jehovah is the name of God in Hebrew scriptures. I can't believe Jesus used the term Jehovah in early Christianity. Jesus might not have used the term Jehovah because we can imagine that he wanted to establish a different religion from Judaism in his teachings.

Please examine more on this. Because we've been discussed it many times.

Cause of his death

Pilate asked Jesus only whether he was a son of God. Jesus didn't deny and said as he said so. Virtually he admitted that he was a son of God. At that time a title son of God was only used for Caesar or more specifically for Epiphanes. Pilate must have known Jesus was guilty for high treason judging from the way he replied.

At war those who killed more are eligible to receive medals for their deed. In short, mass killers are heroes. They are not in the least deserved to be dead in death penalty since their deeds were done at war. But if mass murder was held at peace, they all are derved to death penalty. Kinds of thought objection to death penalty seems to ignore the fact that when those deeds were taken place.

In a current system only Minister of Justice can decide who actually is going to be executed. I must say this is inevitably based on arbitrary political decision rather than the pure judicial decision. If they say the independence of judge exists, the execution ought to be done without permission of the minister.

Marriage -its ideal & reality
Nov 4, '07 3:55 AMfor everyone
Many years ago I thought I'd better marry not so pretty woman because I don't have to worry about her being another's love after we married.
Many years later I realised I can't divorce her. If I did so, she would have no another husband. Certainly she has not loved by many guys, but also from now on she will not be loved by others but me. I would divorce a woman if she were very pretty. I wouldn't have married a pretty woman and I would divorce a pretty woman. It was really a right decision to get married to not so pretty woman in many aspects.

ullangoo saidthey were volunteers.
Sure many were willing to sacrifice themselves, but almost all were forced to drink and lose their sanity. They were repeatedly taught to sacrifice themselves from their childhood. They might have done so voluntarily or willingly out of their very biased idea nourished from wrong education. They had one life stand relation with a state-hired prostitute.

Ghost mansion

I went to the university festival near my house. I entered the ghost house by myself. It was a spot so popular that many young couples were waiting for the room. It was very well devised and completely dark. It was a very good place to confirm the love between couples. They must have spent too much money for making a house. The place was one of the main attractions in their school festival.Devisers know how to nourish love more than how to accumulate their knowledge.Some university today became certainly a ghost mansion of knowledge.

Divine wind

Many university students were enlisted just before the end of the Pacific war in 1945. Almost all were dead in a desperate attack. One commander of them sent them saying that he surely come after their death. Just too many youngsters around age 21 were dead before the end of war, but the commander survived.He kept his promise at age 95 long after he made a promise
Automatisation of death penalty
2007.11.04 1:22

Many inmates are waiting behind the death row, but their penalty has not been carried out yet. It's necessary to have the permission of the Minister of Justice to carry out the execution in each cases.Also the Minister of Justice Kunio Hatoyama declared that there oughtn't to be any waiting for the permission of the Minister of Justice to carry out the execution.He said death penalty automatically be carried out.I think this is insightful.
Friend's friend?
2007.11.04 0:48

Japan's Minister of Justice! Kunio Hatoyama confessed that his friend's friend is a member of al-Qaeda.What he wanted to point out was 'probably' that terrorists hide themselves beside us as he clarified today in his constituency, so be careful. But believe me...it's too difficult to interpret so. Just too many people interpreted that he -Minister of Justice Kunio Hatoyama himself is a friend of terrorist group.Theoretically speaking, neither enemy's enemy nor friend's friend means anything. He was not wrong. Just he should have needed to make allowances for the gap between his intelligent level and that of the general public.He should have rightly confessed that his enemy's friend is a member of al-Qaeda since many people tend to get an impression that friend's friend must be a friend.
