No one asked him to. Plus technically it was suicide.
Who's the "their"?
It's not "superstition"-- it's respect for the most Holy Name so as to be used only on a very special occasion-- Yom Kippur.
Absolutely false. Not even close.
No, I am not. You need to refresh yourself in that the tetragrammaton is written THOUSANDS of times in what you might call the "Old" Testament. Notice please the following: "According to the Jewish Encyclopedia it occurs 5,410 times in the Hebrew scriptures. In the Hebrew Bible, the Tetragrammaton occurs 6828 times" Tetragrammaton - Wikipedia
That's not what Jesus said.
So let's see how you see it. Is Jesus Yahweh?
So tell me, why is YHWH the name wrongly translated in so many Bibles as LORD? Let's look at that a little closer, shall we?
Not until you answer my question that you keep avoiding. Do that and they I'll consider moving on with you.
No, it's not a deflection. It's being honest. So you say Jesus is not Yahweh or as translated by some in English, Jehovah. You do think they'll equal or part of a triune godhead, right? But the topic is not that, just mentioning that the TWO have different names. But the Name, you may say, of the Father is so holy that only JESUS' name can be translated properly? Or said?No.
Nice deflection though.
The questions I ask you are involved with the subject relating to reasoning. So if one doesn't follow the reasoning, maybe later. Years ago I didn't listen to ANYONE much talking about religion, things can change IF there's time. Jesus is not Jehovah you say, and I agree because that is what the Bible leads honest-hearted ones to believe but it's ok to say Jesus a lot but hardly ever IF ever by some Jehovah. Or translate the tetragrammaton as YHWH or Jehovah, but rather as a misleading cover as "Lord" with large and small caps. Thanks for bringing it out.
I realize that was your point. Nevertheless, the tetragrammaton is covered over THOUSANDS of times for the unwary perhaps unsuspecting reader as LORD, a serious degradation of the scriptures. It is not wrritten in the holy scriptures as LORD, it's written as the tetragrammaton, the four Hebrew letters for the name of God. You can believe it's too sacred to say as others do, it is I would say for those who disobey God yet may use his name, and was likely taught that by their religious leaders, which is likely why Jesus said, "Our father in heaven, hallowed by thy name." He wasn't speaking of his (Jesus) name, but of his Father's name, which is what my question to you was about. Later -- have a good night...
God did not "give up" on mankind. The Bible makes that clear.
Sounds like God is playing games. Playing some weird puppet master game.
you think cryin's bad, lots of people die when this happens too! But what does this have to do with anything I said?
I don't think so. The evidence speaks for itself about 'life.' And how people do or do not respect it.
There are those who may not have anyone to cry for them. God sees them all and will do wht is right. Have a good one.
But they themselves may be responsible for the deaths of others. No?
