That maybe so. My point is that it is important to pronounce God's name, be it yaweh or jehovah. it must still be accepted that alot of Bible's to spell it as Jehovah tho and a lot of people see it that way too. it is a commony accepted view of pronouncing the name. here is a list of languages...
One possible reason could be that as it mentions that Abel brought the firstlings of the flock or the best he had, so it could be that Cain didn't bring his best. and God is able to read the heart so he may have seen something bad in cain's heart, perhaps jealousy.
Really? the tetragrammaton is made up of YHWH. One translation states in its preface that one of the reasons it's pronounced Jehovah is because Y make a J sound and W, a V sound. The Tetragrammaton is used in the Hebrew Scriptures and in the Septuagint. The name was used by Jesus and his...
Please bear in mind my previous post too...anyhow, good question. i've wondered about that. why punish all snakes? well, do you think a snake would understand what God was saying to him? so, what is more likely is that God realised who was behind the serpent and was really speaking to him. that...
If you look at the eden account you will see that God said in 2:16 that "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden," then in the next verse "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat[a] of it you shall surely die."
So using your...
sorry to butt in, but i'm not sure what you mean. i looked at the KJV and compared it with the NWT and there's not much difference. the wording may be slightly different but that's all. the wording is different between most versions...
KJV says: When the Most High divided to the nations their...
yes, please show us the scripture you base that on. what he did say however was this, in Matthew 24:5:
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
as far as i know, he said nothing about ones representing him being false prophets...
also, Mathew 28:19,20 show...
I'd like to know what people think about visions of saints or the virgin Mary on walls, windows etc, etc. I think that it's sad that people think they mean anything. i mean take the one about someone buying a piece of toast on Ebay cos it was burned and looked like the virgin many...anyway, what...
I chose to put this under Biblical Debates, as i'd like to know what people who believe in the Bible believe about death? Do we go to heaven, hell, another place, are we reincarnated, do we cease to exist, do we await a ressurection, are we aware of things etc, etc? i'd be grateful if you could...
Nope, as i was simply using your logic.
which says: 8Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk." mmm...yes, i can see how he's saying he's God :bonk:
That's right, the Jew's did....
I used it cos he says he is God's Son. if you said, 'i am my mother's daughter', will any one ever...
Yes, but is that what the scriptures say? God created him, and used him to create everything else after that. He was God's masterworker.

16Christ is the one through whom God created everything in heaven and earth. He made the things we can see and the...
Revelation 3:14 (English Standard Version)
"And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: 'The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation.
Bob's your uncle.:) the first thing he created it says...ie firstborn...as in the first born in a family...ie...
Just as much as it doesn't prove he's God either.
and if you want to think that that's my view on it, fine, it is. However, i could say the same to you. prove to me, show me a scripture where Jesus, categorically, says I am God. I thought so, you can't. In fact, that's why he's called God's...

"Before Abraham was I am"
"I and the father are one"
"Nobody gets thru the father execpt thru me"
