    In other words, you are willing to postulate a hypothetical different earlier rendering of verses in order to make that support whatever theory it is that you are currently promoting. There is nothing here except your ability to never give up and the idea that evidence that hasn't been presented yet could exist.

    Quest

    If YHWH was so important why did not any NT writer make reference to it. It was a name revealing special characteristics of God but not his personal name

    Her current theory seems to be that there are earlier manuscripts in a different language that say something completely different (at least in places) and the translations we have that are based on the Greek manuscripts we have are bogus. Because she says so. And because it suits her current theory.

    I don't think anyone is forcing you to chat here Colonel...I opened a thread for discussion..if you have no interest, don't.

    And Yes, I am still examining the hypothesis ...

    It was your posing that very question early on that promted me to go do deeper research...why indeed does the Father's name that is emphasixed in thousands of passages suddenly drop from view? Why did Jesus read the OT manuscript and change it? Or why did Luke alter His QUOTE..or is there another explanation that is yet to be found?

    You've got a theory, the evidence doesn't support it. While you are investigating to see if you can come up with new evidence, please show some humility in relation to the aforementioned facts.

    Bogus? no..but that the concept that His Name is irrelevant, as you yourself have concluded, BECAUSE it is not in the NT..when possibly there is another explanation and His Name IS still relevant but our conclusion is wrong...

    Colonel I have noticed you always do this when you run out of arguments or others just don't accept your conclusion. There is no need to start attacking me personally...continue with the discussion or not..but don't do THIS...

    Run out of arguments ? Yes, I suppose I just did.
