Jehovah became Ehoba when transcribed into Japanese since there's no J, v and h sound. We all tried to imitate as native people do, but usually we are forced to pronounce the word slight differently.

ullangoo saidWhen I was 18, I spoke three foreign languages and read two more. I won't even mention what I did in my 30es. I understand continental Europeans are especially well versed in a number of different languages, that said, your ability is distinguishable.he apparently read Hebrew fluently at age 12. We don't know how many languages he knew,You are even well versed in the details of Bible. Whatever the language we might use, in the end there's only one language that struck us, that is the language from the bottom of our heart. Language is in short merely a conveyor of something. Something more important in which we carry.

Dear ***,I have seen the Grand Cayon when I flew from Los to Memphis in 1986. Under the cloud it had been spread though I hadn't noticed it when I witnessed. At Vancouver I just recall there were skyscrapers. Victoria? Uhmm, no! I browse devianART when I want to find something novel.Keep in touch! Thanks!!Mer

ullangoo saidDo you think Buddha changed his spoken language just because he wanted to abolish the caste system etc.? Jesus died in his thirties, he didn't have enough time to learn his second or third languages. But in his times Hebrew and Koine were more useful languages in that Hebrew is a written language of Scriptures and Koine was a common language spoken throughout Eastern part of Roman Empire. But I agree, he used his native tongue basically in his teachings.Buddha died at age 80. He had enough time to learn other languages, besides he didn't have to worry about his daily life at all. Aside from that, choice of language is extremely important in prevailing their thought. I never use my native tongue to express my idea both in writing and in speech. I think more and more people today are doing so this borderless society. You yourself are Danish, but how can you make yourself understood in Danish when people around you only understand English?

pussyhotlady saidall i thought..it was Latin. Palestine was under Roman rule at a time Jesus lived.First Greek translation of Old Testament was completed by 70 something scholars in the Septuagint in 246 BC. Probably first partial attempt to translate Bible into Latin was started as early as St Paul arrived in Rome in his last destination of missionary around AD 60.First authorised Latin translation was made by Jerome in Vulgate in AD 405. Since then Jerome's Vulgate has been used almost exclusively as an official version of Catholic for a long time till now, so it's so natural you thought it Latin.

Hi Miss Nyz,Nice to meet you. I'm teaching in Japan.Mer

Hi, ***..

I had thought, because New Testament was recorded in common Greek, that Jesus spoke Koine.

Jesus probably called his God Eli or Eloi in Aramaic or Adonai in Hebrew since Greek words theos, kyrios were used. Jesus and his disciples didn't call their God Jehovah.

Jehovah is used in place of kyrios, which means lord, and lord in New Testament either means Jesus or Jehovah depending on the context.

I encounter many confusions in New Testament.

Have any ided?

mercedo wrote today at 11:55 PM
ullangoo saidElohim is a plural form, actually - El is the singular, As if Elohim was made up with many different Gods. This is the clue there used to be many Gods in prehistorical era. The origin of the word cannot hide its history even though superficially the word elohim means one God.

mercedo wrote today at 11:40 PM
ullangoo said You can't mix words like that. I should have written that ' but Kyrios had never become Christ by simply adding the cross or 't' after crucification.' :-)

mercedo wrote today at 11:29 PM
ullangoo saidJesus did not speak Greek. Till recently I found Jesus spoke Aramaic somewhere in the net I had thought he must have spoken Koine or simplified common Greek for New Testament was written in Koine. Jesus didn't call his God in his name if he simply used Eli for his God. Jesus might have used the term Adonai as well as Father to call his God since what is important is their relation to God. If someone thinks God is his lord or father, they will call their God so. That does not mean their God is really their lord or father. They called so because of their faith. Father means both our biological father and God in heaven. In the same manner kyrios, adonai, lord all mean in many ways including their master, teacher, God, etc. I reflect I was too particular about the use of word. What is important in use of words was how we feel in our mind.

mercedo wrote today at 9:50 PM
I understand there are many ways for it.

Ok, let's clarify the matter. You told me kyrios in Greek means adonai in Hebrew and lord in English. You taught me kyrios usually refers to Jesus in New Testament.
But here you say Jesus call his God kyrios.
So you think kyrios means both Jehovah and Jesus depending on the context.
Is that correct?

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. :-)

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
Nov 9, '07 12:53 AMfor everyone
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.

Hello ***,
Yes, it's one of the best seasons in Japan. We loved to see pink cosmos and now we see yellow leaves on the mountains.
I used to travel a lot. I visited Vancouver once in 1991. I have visited almost all states in America, many countries in Europe, Australia, etc.
Of course I speak only one language, that is the language from the bottom of my heart.

I often recall what has become of same age people, especially women.
Usually they got married 7 or 8 years earlier than guys. I have somehow heard of them in a wind letter, which means in rumour or indirectly, but largely just I don't know.
I've been making every possible effort to let them know my whereabouts not dirctly from me, every day and night!
See you on your next good job soon!
