PastorAIO: One does not need to write all the things found in his book for the writing to be attributed to him. People back then do have secretaries. Jeremiah, and Paul didn't write all contained in the books attributed to them (that is a fact which is even true in modern society). However, the ultimate author of the bible is God, he can make some writings to be providentially added to Deuteronomy. There isn't much written chapter 34 anyway that far outweighs the Mosaic Law contained in the Torah. 1 Like |

PastorAIO: It will be better to go and check what I have said regarding Gods conversation with Moses. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob knew the name Jehovah. That wasn't what Moses discussions with God was about. Check the link I gave u once more. Please tell me the Miracle that yhwh performed in egypt that was greater than what he did in Genesis 19 when he rained down fire and sulphur from heaven to come and destroy 2 whole cities and all the surrounding valleys. This was even in the lifetime of Abraham sef. How many miracles did Abraham see? How many did Isaac see? How many did Jacob see? I mean with there eyes. Pls I need ur answer. |

PastorAIO: The situation in that verse is different. 1. Israelites were not under any captivity 2. Jacob already knew Gods name. See verse 9. He wrestling was with an angel obviously. So he was asking the Angel's name. He already knows Gods name. Now the Majesty of Ra was the creator of heaven and earth, of gods, men, and cattle, of fire, and the breath of life; and he ruled over gods and men. And Isis saw his might, the might that reached over heaven and earth, before which all gods and men bowed; and she longed in her heart for that power, that thereby she should be greater than the gods and have dominion over men. The issue was not about the name which they know. Am not sure I do understand the point you are making here. Now, on the name Jehovah, your write up now demonstrates a willingness to go against the entirety of Theology just to wriggle out of this tight spot. The article was about the meaning of the word Ehyah. That word was drawn from hayah. So how did you arrive at your present past tenses? Where did you see "I am becoming"? That is not the idea that the name represents to Jews, certainly not to Jesus. To become means that you are evolving. You become what you were not yesterday. I become great means that I wasn't great before. Becoming occurs in time/temporally so in order for Jehovah to become he has to be subject to Time. This idea transcends the Hebrew language and can be translated into other languages ( so there is no hiding behind any fake hebrew ha'yah, which is actually the past tense ). In fact it is translated to Greek in the New Testament. You are mistaken. Ehyah is not the Hebrew equivalent of ego eimi. Egoo eimi are two different words while Ehyah is one word. It is drawn from hayah meaning become. They aren't the same words, so your linking them together is not correct. Don't being in unnecessary objection to this thread. 1 Like |

JMAN05:He is talking of/about the "becoming, come to pass, become, be" transliteration in Exodus 3:14 You should have by now, gotten used to him bringing in unnecessary objections to the thread and unnecessarily misusing words, just for the fun of it PastorAIO: PastorAIO:When Jesus said to them, “I am, he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. - John 18:6 You can say "God's true name so potent that its invocation conferred upon the speaker tremendous power over His creations" again ![]() ![]() ![]() Notice what happened, notice the force of the power over those men, after Jesus said the name PastorAIO:Oriki is nothing more or less than panegyric It is recited to invoke deities and whatnot spirits Oriki, as well, is used as eulogies, and also used as endearments, where there is talk about pedigree and likeable traits etcetera, all to stir up sensibilities positively PastorAIO:First and foremost, Elohim or Adonai are not personal names YHWH, aka Yahweh, or aka Jehovah, is the personal Elohim is Godhood, and Adonai is Owner aka Lord PastorAIO:You can't see the wood for the trees, reiterating, it's not about what did He do thereafter, that He hadn't done before PastorAIO:This has been responded to earlier PastorAIO:ROTBL. SMH PastorAIO:There is no such thing as these kind of "tenses" in biblical Hebrew. Mind you, meaning before you start quoting me, modern Hebrew, on the other hand, does have those tenses PastorAIO:The idea is understood in the context it is used (e.g. become, exist, to be, becoming, existing) PastorAIO:Dont mix up "I AM that I AM" with "I AM". Again context my friend, you're again gnawing on another wrong bone and mixing up what was said and how "I AM" is used in John 8:58 with how it's used in Exodus 3:14, without taking in to account the context and type of verb used Go and find out what biblical hebrew verb is used in Exodus 3:14 Jesus, in John 8:58, is saying, before Abraham, "I exist", the audience understood the meaning, and that's why they went ballistic crazy I, (i.e. Ego) the first-person pronoun, Exist, (i.e. Eimi), as in "to be" infinitive verb or "be", "am", "is" present tense first-person verb |

JMAN05: I have plenty more, the question is whether or not you can handle it. If the angel that appeared to Moses came in Jehovah's name then by what name did the one who came to Jacob come by. Was he a renegade angel? Moses was not asking god's name cos 'he already knows it', you say. You also say Jacob was not asking god's name 'he already knows it', he was asking the angel's name. Maybe Moses too was just asking the angel's name, abi? |

JMAN05: Ego Eimi = I am (greek) Eh yeh = I am (hebrew) Have you heard of Syllogism. an instance of a form of reasoning in which a conclusion is drawn from two given or assumed propositions (premises); a common or middle term is present in the two premises but not in the conclusion, which may be invalid (e.g. all dogs are animals; all animals have four legs; therefore all dogs have four legs ). Let's practice a little bit of syllogistic reasoning with Ego Eimi and Eh yeh. first let's consider these numbers... 2+3 =5 ' 4+1 = 5. Could we therefore say that 2+3 = 4+1? I say yes. This is not even syllogism, it is identity recognition. So ... Ego Eimi = I am (greek) Eh yeh = I am (hebrew) Therefore Ego Eimi = Eh yeh True or false? |

PastorAIO: I don't see why you are finding it had to see what the JW Explanation is saying. That was not my argument initially, but going through that write up, it became very apparent what they were saying. They are saying that the message of Exodus 6:3 is about the meaning of Jehovah and not literally the introduction of the name. The same book of Exodus interpolated the name Jehovah with the Phrase 'I AM', and this two is used interchangeably as a name to the same person. Again. when Yahweh was asked by Moses what he is to tell to Pharaoh and the children of Israel he told him to tell them that he is "I AM THAT I AM" and that this is his name for ever and ever. Did Yahweh forgot his "name" As being Yahweh There? (Exodus 3:13-15) At what point then will his name be changed again from "I AM THAT I AM" to Jehovah considering that the name I AM THAT I AM" is to be his name that will last for ever and ever? I accepted that explanation because it is logical and shades light to why he had earlier rather given explanation to Moses Initially and that the initial I AM THAT I AM is a name and when he later mention Yahweh in Exodus 6:3, He was reffering to his name I AM THAT THAT I AM. Meaning that the two names means the same thing and that meaning is what Moses is to take to both Pharaoh and the Israelite's. If you don't see it hence, you have to explain why Yahweh presented his name as the sequence below: Exodus 3:13-15 King James Version (KJV) 13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Exodus6:1-3 6 So Jehovah said to Moses: “Now you will see what I will do to Pharʹaoh.+ A mighty hand will force him to send them away, and a mighty hand will force him to drive them out of his land.”+2 Then God said to Moses: “I am Jehovah. 3 And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty,+but with regard to my name Jehovah+ I did not make myself known to them.

truthislight: Am not particular about winning argument when it comes to the Bible but to make sure i get it right. With the above arrangement, I can only conclud that Yahweh made some mistakes In either Exodus 3:15 or Exodus 6:3 as regard knowing the pronunciation of his name or the way it sounds and if it is one word or a phrase. Going by your Logic that is. Peace *Edited* |

Perhaps you would like to help jman5 answer the question of whether ego eimi = ehyer. He might appreciate it. As regards the jehovah witness site, I assume you're a jw, if so, please, don't be shy, I understood what it was saying, or rather what it was trying to say. What it doesn't say though is that 1) ehyer is Hebrew language. 2) there is no jehovah in the bible, only the four letters YHWH (yod he vau he). Some pronounce it Yahweh some jehovah some just jah or yah. Presumably the original name was in Hebrew. Presumably then YHWH was just an Acronym for I am that I am. This happens a lot. For example a Yoruba man will tell you that Orunmila means .. Orun Mo Eni ti o La ( only heaven knows who will be saved). 3)so Yahweh did not have to forget his name. He was just de-acronymising it. Like some people say Olodumare is the owner of the Odu that progresses. Olu Odu mare. Etc Please a question remains without an answer. How did YHWH demonstrate his name to the Israelites that wasn't before witnessed.? What great plague did he wreak on pharaoh that he hadn't wreaked on him before? After all even the plagues sef, he had already done that during the time of abram on account of Sarai. truthislight: |

truthislight: I'm pretty sure that the mistakes are all human. For example when you say: I accepted that explanation because it is logical and shades light to why he had earlier rather given explanation to Moses Initially and that the initial I AM THAT I AM is a name and when he later mention Yahweh in Exodus 6:3, He was reffering to his name I AM THAT THAT I AM. Meaning that the two names means the same thing and that meaning is what Moses is to take to both Pharaoh and the Israelite's. you forgot that YHWH was mentioned in Exodus 3 too. He didn't wait till Exodus 6 before mentioning YHWH. Exodus 3 15God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘YHWH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations. So, NO, he didn't forget his name. |

Well, I'm sorry, but 'my logic' does not say what you claim it says. I am not astonished that you are quickly deserting that which was given to you in the grace of Rationality and turning to a different logic. (verse 7) Not that there is even a different Logic, But something is disturbing you and causing you to leave the Logic of Rationality. (vs8) even if I or even an angel from heaven should teach you any Logic contrary to the one that you received let him be cursed. (9) I don talk am o, and I even fit talk am again...

Endeavor to stay on point please. PastorAIO: Yeah! Whatever you say. I see the "de-acronymising", as long as you are the one that stated it i have no further option than to accept whatever you said. Meanwhile, have another look at the de-acronymising" below again at this two instances: Exodus 3:13-15 King James Version (KJV) 13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM thath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. AND Exodus 6:1-3 6 So Jehovah said to Moses: “Now you will see what I will do to Pharʹaoh A mighty hand will force him to send them away, and a mighty hand will force him to drive them out of his land.”+2 Then God said to Moses: “I YHWH. 3 And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty,+but with regard to my name YHWH I did not make myself known to them. ................................................................................................................................................................................................ So, "I AM THAT THAT I AM" is an acronym for Yahweh right? LOL. ![]() Must I agree with the above? You must be thinking that I accept any thing any magician pulls out from his hat. ![]() No Yahweh means I AM THAT I AM , no need to try to change the obvious. PastorAIO: Exodus 3:20 So I will have to stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all my extraordinary acts that I will do in it, and after that he will send you out.[/color] Am not the one that said that what he will do to the Egyptians and Pharaoh will be extraordinary acts, Yahweh said so himself. |
Re: Is The Hebrew Monotheistic Belief A Product Of Religious Syncretism? by PastorAIO: 5:36pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
I am not forcing you to agree with me sir. Where you don't agree I would welcome intelligent arguments that refute my position. Other than that I don't think I want anything from you. Now, you've asked me to stay on point. Pray tell, where did I stray from the point? Also, could you please look up the meaning of the word Acronym. I'll give an example here, but still look it up for yourself, in case you don't agree with me. Every Christian knows the term Ichthus and they all know that it means Jesus Christ, the son of God, Saviour. Ichthus is an acronym. Every christian knows that IHS means Jesus. INRI means Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. IHS, INRI and Ichthus are acronyms. Fela's song BBC is an acronym for Big Blind Country. etc Now you haven't addressed the fact that your king james' bible translates YHWH as Lord. Verse 15 of Exodus 3 says: ‘YHWH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... No, you don't have to accept that YHWH is an acronym for I AM THAT I AM. what you cannot deny however is that you do not know the name, because it is not Jehovah. All we have are the 4 letters. Some people guess that the missing vowels make it Yahweh. Others guess that it may be Jehovah. But the fact is that it is lost. Nobody knows. We have the 4 letters which is an acronym of the true name. Unless you think that the Hebrews pronounced his name without using vowels. Imagine a language without vowels. you won't be sure if the person is talking or has some kind of nervous tic. And lastly, I never said that the plagues in Egypt were not extraordinary acts. I said, because it was claimed that YHWH was going to reveal something himself that was previously unknown, that he didn't do anything more amazing than he did before. and furthermore I don't see how the plagues in Egypt are an expression of the idea of I AM. truthislight: |

PastorAIO: Not just Yahweh, but I AM THAT I AM was mentioned in chapter 3. Exodus 3:13-15 King James Version (KJV) 13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM thath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. And one of the names is explaining something about the bearer unlike the YHWH. Meaning that what he was actually doing to Moses there has to do with explaining More about himself. Definitely, I AM THAT I AM contains more in it than YHWH. Has he ever before introduced himself like That? I AM THAT I AM? Nope! And he said that I AM THAT I AM will be his name for ever. Call it Acronym or not, it does not change a thing. PastorAIO: Is the above only what you saw in chapter 3 of Exodus? SMH. You did not see verses 14 before the 15 you quoted? See it below from Kingjames version: Exodus 3:13-15 King James Version (KJV) 13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM thath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Truthislight. Please explain yourself. Are you saying that I Am that I am is a separate name from YHWH that has nothing to do with it? Have you found out what an acronym means yet? Do you agree that YHWH is an acronym? An acronym is a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial components in a phrase or a word, usually individual letters (as in NATO or laser) and sometimes syllables (as in Benelux). There are no universal standards of the multiple names for such abbreviations and of their orthographic styling.-Wikipedia No one today knows the full name that was written as YHWH. You claim Jehovah. Just as well might be Yahoo-waahoo for you. truthislight: Haba, why you go delete am na? I was under the impression that you and the other discussants were all reading from the same hymn sheet so if someone says that I Am what I am is YHWH and you are defending the person then I presume that is your position too. To be honest your position is no longer clear, you've over dribbled yourself. This all started from Exodus 6:3. YHWH said his name is YHWH and he did not reveal himself to Abraham as YHWH. Yet we see evidence that YHWH was used before Moses' time. To defend this you (or whoever) brought in I am who I am saying that they didn't know the full power of the name and YHWH was saying that they are about to see the full power. (no one has answered me on how he demonstrated the full power) Finally, are you trying to pull as fast one with all that 'this is my memorial to all generations' etc. If YHWH and I Am are two different names then why is it not YHWH that will be his name forever? This is verse 15: 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, YHWH God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. What I get from your posts is that YHWH and IAM are two totally different names with nothing to do with each other. In that case you can argue that YHWH is not an acronym for IAM .....bla bla. I'll accept that. but that does nothing for the initial problem which is that YHWH claims that Abraham did not know his name YHWH while there is a record of Abraham calling him by that name. |

PastorAIO: It's like the other discussant has given up and left and am beginning to understand the reason why. If at this point with all the post i have made you can still come up to say you don't understand what i have been saying, then am perplex at your rigid mind set and narrowness to your thoughts. For the sack of fairness, let me state again what i have stated all along, which is: That the discussion Yahweh had with Moses was to let him(Moses) to get the meaning of his name which is contained in the Initial statement he gave to Moses in verese 14 of Chapter 3 >I AM THAT I AM<. That, Yahweh said it is his name for ever. Implying that "I AM THAT I AM" is the meaning of Yahweh, Hence, Yahweh could also as well Refer to > YHWH < as his name as well that will last for ever. If you don't want to see I AM THAT I AM as the meaning of Yahweh, that is your cup of tea. (Acronym can be form by taking the first later of a phrase to form a word, which YHWH is NOT such to "I AM THAT I AM" ). .................................................................................................................................................................................................. If For instance, i bare the name 'Indomitable' and it means "THAT CANNOT BE GOVERN" does not mean i will be introducing myself by the phrase "THAT CANNOT BE GOVERN". NO. And not on a serious matter or instances like Yahweh to Moses. I can only tell you such if i have reason to explain to you who i am in an instance that i am angry and challenged, i can tell such a foe that i will let him know that i am :"THAT CANNOT BE GOVERN". (As in the instance of YHWH to Pharoah) That is the way normal communication goes. It is up to you to take what you want, that Yahweh rather introduced himself to Moses Firstly with an acronym. (Note that verse 14 comes before verse 15 in that exodus chapter 3.) Peace. PS: "UNICEF" is an acronym for "United Nation International Children Emergency Fund".

Again the first letter is Yod. Followed by ה = He And an acronym is not necessarily strictly only made up of the first letters.
