Kobojunkie:
1. We both know that; this is about the writing of the language and not just the speaking anyway.

2. That too is known. So no need repeating this.

3. My question was not regarding the names of individuals but the written form of the Hebrew language, right?

Krismas:
Tanakh <===Septuagint ===>Vulgate etc

Krismas:
Septuagint was not a translation.
Rather it was the original scripture from which Hebrew works like Torah, Tanakh and Dead Sea scrolls were back-written.
While the religious world keep up the lie that it’s the other way around. As though Hebrew was a written language some 400BCE.

Krismas:
U can’t just make sweeping statements! Give an example that justify transliterating Yehoshua 4different time to get Jesus, which literally has no meaning.

Lucifyre:
Its a simple answer, you were able to phrase it in your own words. Its just semantics of language which is quite common. So yes that's the general gist of it, albeit seriously lacking in context and nuance. [b]As for the rigmarole, im sure you can find the reason same way you found this. Clue : Tanakh -> Septuagint, Vulgate, Targum. [/b]But yes if you told xtains to pray in the name of Joshua for example, you are bound to get ignorant clap backs.

Krismas:
Nothing justifies transliterating names

Krismas:
U misunderstood me. Ishtar is a Sumerian goddess I know. But celts and Gauls have their equivalent fertility deities. That what I meant.

Krismas:
If that is true, then, u would have considered shifting ur Christmas and Easter away from days celts celebrate their fertility deities like Ishitar and stop using their symbols like Christmas trees and flip flop lightings and Easter eggs. When will u people stop deceiving yourselfs?

Krismas:
There is nothing simple about any answer you”l find.
Hebrew Yehoshua was abbreviated to Aramaic Yeshua in one of the most dubious manner ever imaginable.
Then Yeshua was TRANSLITERATED to Greek IESOUS Which is as meaningless as premium gibberish
From where IESOUS was further TRANSLITERATED to a more meaningless Latin IESUS, which was then TRANSLITERATED yet again to the most MEANINGLESS word on planet earth, English JESUS. Because what on earth does Jesus mean??
Now for those who do not understand transliteration. It’s attempting to rename a concept by the sound it makes to you. e.g when the Binis first got introduced to the Portuguese, they thought the name was Kpotoki. Then Kpotoki got transliterated to the Yoruba Kpataki. Both Kpotoki and Kpataki are as far from Portuguese as heaven is from the earth as to be MEANINGLESS.
But in the case of IESOUS, many believe, what the transliterators were trying to establish was really HAIL ZEUS. Since it’s naming based on sound. As for Jesus, they were probably trying to establish the Celtic Esus, or Hesus. Since Jesus in Welsh is Iesus .So, why should anyone’s name go thru such rigmarole if fraud is not intended?

Krismas:
No, it’s ur answer that’s daft. Cos how come a name springs up in the New Testament that cannot be found in the name pool of the Old Testament? Where did the name Jesus come from? If you dodge my question this time around, then, I take it, you have conceded that it is from the Gaulish Esus, who was worshiped by impaling people to trees and stabbing them death wounds,
A god who love woods and a god birds like to hang around.

Homophobic retarded society filled with the descendants of those who either sold their relatives as slaves via the Sahara desert or the Atlantic Ocean recent centuries ago for
a couple of mirrors and gunpowder to kill themselves.

I'm talking about a country that war-torn Ukraine donates grains to so that they can feed.

A country where life expectancy is less than 57 years and where most toddlers have not drank milk since January 2024 which means that their brains will not develop properly and nationwide intelligence will decline to record low level in the next few years due to shortage of protein diet.

Note: The intelligence level is already low.

A country where people cannot travel interstate because the roads are deplorable and killers roam freely on the highways to kidnap for ransom.

A country where the young men will kill their innocent girls with the belive that the girls' cold-blooded murder will help him scam foreigners to afford the coveted IPhone produced by Apple whose CEO is Tim Cooks, a gay man.


The umpteenth proof that the Negro is the lowest of humans.

MaxInDHouse:
I have presented proof that you don't have faith and you hate whoever believes in God so there's no need exchanging words with you!

MaxInDHouse:
Your hatred for God's word doesn't shake me because i know your type but one thing that baffles me is when you try to blackmail one group simply because you don't want anyone to reason with God's word or Christianity!

MaxInDHouse:
Ọmọ true Christians (Jehovah's Witnesses) are relating with one another as brothers and sisters globally, members could be found practicing our faith in all the countries of the world except just two where the inhabitants mistake us for political Churchgoers dragging public offices with them, once they realize that we have no interest in dominating anyone they don't see us as a threat even the politicians stands for us in court cases knowing fully well that we will never protest against them no matter the policy they make as long as it doesn't hinder us from making friends with our neighbors through preaching and teaching about the Kingdom of our God.

The only problem we often have with politicians is when they are recruiting zombies to go fighting for them because we will never ever raise weapons against anyone be it friend or foe {Matthew 5:43-48 compare to Luke 6:27-28} Apart from that no reasonable politician can think of attacking us.

But as for you even your fellow religionists in other places are prospective killers to be sent to kill you after they have been brainwashed to see you as enemy of progress.

Lifestylecom:
Easy please, Doc

MaxInDHouse:
Never mind, by the time your neighbor that you both worship the same god is hunting your life due to POLITICS i will be in the same area freely preaching and teaching about God's Kingdom then you will know Religion is not the problem but politics!

MaxInDHouse:
You wake up in the morning and believe bread will make your breakfast but i woke up and prefer rice what is the crime in that?
Where the problem lies is when i want to force rice down your throat or you want to force bread into my mouth claiming that's the best morning meal instead of allowing me to choose for myself.
That's what POLITICS does!

Myrrhis:
Children are aware more than adults think.
Only they hardly know how to express what they think/feel.

Think about when you were a child.

Mikespecialone:
What brain does he have at 5 ?? He’s even happy

@EmperorCaesar

By the time he understands this, he will no longer see it as a big deal. He will glide through life without really missing or inquiring about his Dad's death


You reason well

dominique:
Why would anybody ask a young child what killed their parent? Are people really that nosy?

MaxInDHouse:
There is no confusion in religion it's either you believe or disbelieve the main issue is POLITICS as those who want to dominate others are desperately seeking ways to blindfold gullible people so they can gather such ones to fight for their own personal interest!

Lifestylecom:
God is indeed not an author of confusion

sonmvayina:
I am still waiting for your evidence on the historicity of Jesus... I will not stop chasing you till you present the evidences you talked about..

Thoth02:
Nonsense to a person who cannot come up with with something to refute me.

I don't expect you to believe that there is more than one God.

I be shocked if you believe me. You were brainwashed from your childhood.

How can you easily let go of what you were taught ever since you were a child.

Thoth02:
The God that run human affairs is not the God you think.

"Let us" make man who was talking and who was being spoken to.?
Oh please don't tell me God is talking to the holy spirit Or to the angels.

Angels don't have the image of the Gods.

If God being male created humans, how are there females.

These Gods mate and procreate same way humans do and they give birth to children who are in turn Gods.
That was Jesus was born - Revelations 12.

The God who told man not to eat the fruit so they couldn't have knowledge is Enlil/yahuah father of Jesus whom christians worship.

The God who made man to eat the fruit and gain knowledge is Enki - another God who is kind to humans.

The snake in the Garden is not the devil.
Contrary to what you were taught in church.

Ever wondered why there are two trees in the garden.?? it's because those trees represent the nature of the two Gods who created man.

The snake is not the devil - open your mind all right.

Everytime, you say Amen in church, you call the name of a God - Amen Ra multiple Gods have ruled since time past. Which the bible didn't talk about.

The bible is simply the summary of the ancient text.
