No, installed it takes up 20.4 MB. I have no idea where you would get that figure. I look all over the site and came up with nothing that size, or even as large as 1 GB.

These are the names of God and its meaning. I will simplify the pronunciation in the way that you may

understand . The meaning of His name on the end.

I praise each of His names each morning in prayer. It gives Him honor.

1. Jehovah- tsidkenu ...ta-sid-kin-nou (the nou rhymes with You)...The Lord My Righteousness

2. Jehovah- m'kaddesh ..m'ka-dish....The Lord Who Sanctifies

3. Jehovah-shalom...sha-lome...The Lord Is Peace

4. Jehovah-shammah..sha-ma....The Lord Is There

5. Jehovah-rophe... rah-fay... The Lord Who Heals

6. Jehovah- jireh.. jire-rah... The Lord's Provision Shall Be Seen ,or..The Lord Our Provider.

7. Jehovah-nissi... rhymes with missy pronounced as nissy... The Lord My Banner

8. Jehovah-rohi...row-ha .... The Lord My Shepard

Actually, I forgot the name that we should always address God first with, in praising Him or honoring Him.

I should have put this one as number --- 1....instead of the 10 th.

1. Jehovah- Elohim...... el-lo-him.... The Lord Our Creator

I just want to say my thoughts on this, and I don't mean to criticize anyone....

I agree that studying the Bible in its original languages is very good. Personally, however, unless one means to be a Bible scholar, I feel that this is already too much. A study of a good and trustworthy Bible translation, in clear English, like the ESV and NKJV, is enough for me. All the little details, all the different shades of meanings... I leave to God to explain to me, if he wishes, in my daily walk with him. After all, our time here on earth is limited, and we have to spend it wisely, so that we can serve God all the better.

And so my reply to OneLight in the original post, if I may:

Don't worry, Brother, if you cannot understand most of the Hebrew and Greek words used in these forums. It's not that important

I appreciate your concern.  The question arose because we had members who would ofter use these terms when posting.  I felt it important to seek to fully understand what the person was saying so I could properly reply.  Though I believe understanding how a word is used in scripture is very important to understanding what you are reading, I don't spend my time studying a language I will never use.  I do often look up how a word was used in Greek or Hebrew.

I appreciate your concern. The question arose because we had members who would ofter use these terms when posting. **I felt it important to seek to fully understand what the person was saying so I could properly reply.** Though I believe understanding how a word is used in scripture is very important to understanding what you are reading, I don't spend my time studying a language I will never use. I do often look up how a word was used in Greek or Hebrew.

On your statement I have emphasized:

I haven't considered that, and I think you're right that it's important to understand what they are saying, if you intend to reply....

But think about this please: In communication, it is the responsibility of the writer/speaker to consider his audience and to make sure that his message can be clearly and fully understood by the reader/listener as much as possible. If he fails in this responsibility, and therefore fails to make himself understood, then it's his fault, and it's not up to the receivers of his message to make up for his shortcomings. Asking them, even obliging them, to look up dictionaries to find the meanings of his obscure words, and in different languages besides, is, in my opinion (though I know authorities in communication will back me up), a very bad practice.

Most of us here in these forums are general readers only, not specialists, say in the Hebrew and Greek languages. Each poster then should consider this, and refrain from using jargons only a few can understand. Or if using such words cannot be avoided, then their meanings should already be provided, like "Yeshua (Jesus)."

Again, I appreciate your concern, and I do agree that it is the responsibility of the writer to reach the reader, but unfortunately, there are those who like to "sound smart" or "prove their intelligence" by posting in ways that are unclear to the normal reader.  Having to moderate the threads, as I do, I also have to understand what is being said.  We are looking at this from two different points of view.

 

God Bless,
