If Jesus is indeed is the son of God, should he be worshipped?
If Allah has a son, should the son be worshipped?

You're spilling falsehood! All those cultures have their language representation for the supreme being!

And how will YHWH that was never pronounced be understood by others outside Israel?

You're just bragging upon ignorance!

I've never seen an obstinate ignorant fellow like yourself. Your knowledge is wack yet U refuse to learn.

I will disgrace u with facts today U won't have the confidence to debate bible anymore.

Now on YHWH, I will show U both biblical and scholars evidence that YHWH is well known outside of Israel even b4 the later became a nation.

Biblical evidence

Egyptians (Exodus 1-15): The Egyptians are called to “know that I am YHWH” throughout the plague narrative, showing they knew of the deity.

Jethro (Exodus 18): The Midianite father-in-law of Moses knew YHWH. Jethro was a Midian priest who acknowledged the mighty of YHWH and mentioned his name multiple times on the book of exodus.

Balaam (Numbers 22-24): Balaam recognized the power of YHWH, had direct encounter with him and mentioned his name when giving his supplications.

Caleb (Num 32:12): The great hero of Judah was a Kenizzite, one of the Canaanite tribes (Gen 15:19).

Gibeonites (Joshua 9): The Canaanite town of Gibeon employed deceit against Israel, but perhaps had some measure of faith in YHWH

Jael (Judges 4-5): The killer of Sisera was a Kenite, a tribe of Canaanites who knew YHWH by name. (Gen 15:19)

Scholars evidence is highlighted below with links...

To say YHWH became known after Moses is intellectual laziness.
If anything modern scholars believed YHWH was introduced to Israel by the Canaanites and a Semitic nomad tribes called Shashu in the levant region.

People had known YHWH long before there was a nation called Israel, they just don't know him well and worshipped him in the midst of polytheism- amongst other gods.
Abraham was the first person to worship YHWH as a monotheist- post the flood era. That's why he's called father of faith.
God called him out in the midst of polytheism civilisation to start a journey of monotheism- worship ONLY YHWH.

Jesus' teachings and actions brought about a shift in the way early Christians perceived sacrifice and worship, yet he did not completely eliminate the traditional methods of worship.

His teachings and actions of sparked a significant change in the understanding of sacrifice and worship among early Christians, while still acknowledging the importance of the existing worship practices.

Early Christians experienced a transformative shift in their perception of sacrifice and worship due to Jesus' teachings and actions, without completely discarding the traditional modes of worship..

My friend sacrificial offering was discarded. Who are we offering sacrifice to? A God that already departed the temple.

So what language is YHWH? The term "YHWH" is a representation of the name of God in the Hebrew Bible, often referred to as the Tetragrammaton. It is a sacred name used to refer to the God of Israel. The Hebrew language, including the name "YHWH," was specific to the Israelites and their religious practices.

YHWH is Semitic, a word shared amongst people who speak the LEVANTINE languages.
Canaanites and Edomites also called God YHWH but they don't speak Hebrew.
The writing of YHWH or even it's vocalisation may differ by culture but the pronunciation and what it meant is the same.
Even ancient Egyptians likely knew of YHWH by evidence of inscriptions resembling YHWH on their walls- a deity called YHWU.

Just like mama and Baba are words for father and mother shared by hundreds of languages in the west African region and even in the world.

Ohyoudidnt:
in the Old Testament there was a specific place for sacrifices and worship in Jerusalem.

Jesus, as a Jewish rabbi and religious figure, operated within the Jewish religious framework of his time. In his teachings, Jesus emphasized spiritual renewal, repentance, and love for God and others. He challenged traditional interpretations of the Law and focused on matters of the heart rather than mere external observance.

Ancient Judaism holds Jerusalem as a central place and the location for sacrifices and worship. The Temple in Jerusalem was considered the holiest site in Judaism, where various rituals and sacrifices were performed according to Mosaic Law. The sacrificial system was an integral part of Jewish religious practice, with offerings made to atone for sins and express devotion to God.

Jesus did not change the specific place for sacrifices and worship from Jerusalem during his earthly ministry, his teachings and actions led to a transformation in how early Christians understood sacrifice and worship. The focus shifted from external rituals in a physical temple to internal transformation through faith

Stop lying, Jesus did change how we worshipped when on earth.
First, after the glory of the LORD departed the temple, the building became void.
Anybody could enter the holy of holies and nothing would happen to them.
In fact some Hellenistic Jews during the Seleucid period sacrificed pig on the altar in the temple and nothing happened to them.

Jesus made it clear Jerusalem and the temple is no longer necessary for worship.

Luke 21.5
Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, Jesus said, 6 “These things which you see—the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”

John 4
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

🥱🥱🥱
Show me where God or Moses told the people to worship the bronze snake or bow to it.

It was simply a medium of healing just like the ephod, the staff of Moses, playing of harp or touching the helm of Jesus garment


Let me educate U and put the bronze snake into context.

When Israelites began burning incest to it or began to venerate it, see what the man of God did to the bronze snake.

Hezekiah did right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done. He removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan.
2 Kings 18:3-4


This is what Muhammed should have done to the black stone if he was truly a prophet of God. Destroy it rather than tell his followers to bow before it.

The harder U try, the worse your case and the deeper U sink.

Bowing before the black stone or venerating it- kissing the black stone is paganism. Its indefensible.

I just hope your eyes will open and will learn one or two things here.

These are what you should tell your parents so that you stop worshipping them right? grin

Why didn't Jesus stop them from falling down for him?
Because Jesus is a messenger of God!

And messengers of God are His representative on Earth!

The word Shachah and Proskuneo aaccounts for more than 80% of what is translated as worship in the old testament and New Testament.

Example
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. You are to worship (shachah) at a distance Exodus 24:1

Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshipped (shachah), each at the entrance to their tent. Exodus 33:10

The same worship (Shachah) is used below for humans:

Genesis 19:1 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. Lot worshipped Angels!

Exodus 18:7 So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other and then went into the tent. Moses worshiped his in law and kissed him! Na same Kiss o! grin

Genesis 23:7 Then Abraham rose and bowed down before the people of the land, the Hittites. Abraham dey worship humans!

Genesis 33:3 Then Jacob went on ahead. As he approached his brother, he bowed to the ground seven times before him. Jacob worshiped his brother!

Genesis 42:6 Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the person who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground. Joseph's family worshipped him!

Matthew 18:26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ Is this worship too?

1 Kings 1:23 And the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” So he went before the king and bowed with his face to the ground. Is this worship too?

2 Samuel 14:22 Joab fell with his face to the ground to pay him honor, and he blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that he has found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, because the king has granted his servant’s request.” Is this worship too?

1 Samuel 24:8 Then David went out of the cave and called out to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. David worshipped Saul!

1 Kings 1:53 Then King Solomon sent men, and they brought him down from the altar. And Adonijah came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said, “Go to your home.” Adonijah worshipped Solomon too!

So people worshipped Solomon, Saul, and many others! It is not only Jesus!
But the hypocrisy is that only Jesus's own will be translated as worship others will be translated as bow down, Kneel down, fell down, etc.
And the same word is translated!

Old testament was written in Hebrew whilst new testament in greek. The lexicon, usage and application of word in both languages are different.
How proskyneson could be applied is different from shachah.

That's why I'm asking U why did Peter and the angel rejected worship- proskyneson within the realm it was applied whereas Jesus was collecting it up and down.

That's my question, don't deviate. If U don't know, say I don't know.
If U want to talk about worship in the old testament, open a thread for that and we will meet to give u

If YHWH is God's name as shown in the OT
And the NT is an inspired addition or confirmation of the OT and Jesus and his apostles quoted and made references to serve scriptures from the OT, shouldn't it be surprising that the manuscripts we have today which are just copies and dated some centuries after Jesus ascension did not show the divine name anywhere
Some other translations of the Bible have put the divine places in some places of the new testament

So when the tanakh was translated to greek called the Septuagint, the name YHWH was substituted for kyrios meaning lord/master in greek. The new testament writers simply continued the tradition of using kyrios for LORD in their epistles.

Another explanation is that by the time of the 2nd temple, the Jews had forgotten their original language which Hebrew and now speak Aramaic as the native language. Thus very few could pronounce the name YHWH properly.

To prevent corruption of the word, the priests actively discouraged people from saying the name; and it's been said by the time of Jesus most, Jews had forgotten how to pronounce the name YHWH and they substituted it for other names of God like elaha, elohim or Adonai.

That's why I'm asking maxindhouse to tell me the exact words used by Thomas when he said My Lord and my God,
Layman like Thomas wouldn't be able to pronounce
YHWH and would have called God by other names.

So it was satan that called Abraham from heaven and blessed him forever.
It was any kind God that told Moses his name is I am that I am.
Its any kind God that is called El Roi- the ever living one.

U not making sense anymore. Abeg rest.
🥱🥱🥱 Go drink kunu, you will be fine.
So this one is dusted. Let's move .

I'm not bragging. Its a reality. You may ask insurance companies that question or auto dealers. They'd tell you how many. Once a car is launched by the car manufacturer, in a matter of months, you'd see it on the Nigerian roads. The buyers don't go for APR wahala. They paid 100% , but over there, they spread payments with interests.

Oga rest, Only 13,000 new cars were sold last year in naija.
That's how depressing the new market is in naija.
South Africa sold 300,000 new cars, Morocco - 140,000 while egypt- 130,000.
That's why no car manufacturer is building anything in naija. Its also the reason imnoson and other domestic car assembly will struggle to breakthrough or become competitive enough to take on global car manufacturers.
Without car loan, no country can have a viable car manufacturing sector.

And don't make it look like Nigerians are rich enough to afford to pay for new car in full. They don't - Nigerians are poor, that's why only 13k new cars were sold last year.
Note- I mentioned new cars and not used or tokunbo.
So I really don't understand the pojnt of your bragging.

DEFAULT and FORECLOSURE. Can you guys just let these two words ring in your brains for a minute? There are down sides to Mortgages too. Stop sounding silly.

U are the very foolish one. Default or foreclosure, U get what U put in the house and the equity.
The person renting gets nothing.
Who's worse off. Mr penny wise pounds foolish.

The wealth of white Americans today is deeply rooted in the generational property investment.
Indians and Pakistani in UK understand the game and are buying properties like mad here.
Yet some foolish ones are saying blacks should continue to rent.
Are U not tired of being slaves to other races. What exactly is wrong with the black man...they can't think beyond their today.
