Hey, for anyone that reads this I have a couple of questions.

1. Who and what is GOD?

God is the one who created the heavens and the earth, he is the one who created you and me... He's the one who is so fair, that he has just to judge sin because it cna't be in heaven.. he is so powerful that he sents fire and brimstone from heaven, but loving as a dove... He's the one who sent His Son to die on the cross for our sins because he loved us so much.

2. Did the bible use the name GOD in greek also?

I would assume so, the name "God" is in the NT... however, I am not completely sure what you are referring to.

3. Did GOD authorize the King James Version if not, who did?

God promised in Psalm 12:6-7 that he woudl preserve His perfect Word, and I firmly believe that the KJV is God's preserved Word.... preserved and given by the authority of God! "IF not, who did?" If one believes that God's promises are true, than the answer to that question if not the KJV, is where is God's preserved Word? The newer versions are all different, so it can not be all of them, they can not all be right...

3.Who is Jesus?

Jesus is God, part of the three in one, but he is specifically the Son of God. He came to this earth in the form of a man to witness, to heal the infirmities of the sick physically, and to reach those who were spiritually sick. Those who were "spiritually sick" were in need of a physician, because the sin in their lives leads to death... Because of love, He died on the cross for us and rose again the third day, "According to the scriptures" because there had to be a perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus is my Savior and friend, who is He to you?

4. Is Jesus a hebraic name or an English name?

I don't know the answer to this question.

I have many more but ill stop here. I need clarifaction on the above questions. Thank you for reading

And no problem whatsoever

What I think:

1. To most Christians, God is the Creator and Supreme Being who exists in a Trinity of Persons: The Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. Other Christians may hold different views, such as there is no Trinity, or that Jesus is not God.

Other religious groups hold different beliefs about the Divine---whether there is one God or many gods or goddesses, a universal mind/soul/truth, etc.

2. In the New Testament, the word "God" is used, but I don't think the name "Yahweh" appears.

3. The name gives a clue---King James "authorized" the translation (he gave instructions on how the translation would be made/edited, etc.). The KJV was a decent translation for its time, but there are better English translations available today (like the NIV or NRSV)

4. To most Christians, Jesus is the Son, the 2nd Person of the Trinity. He is also the Messiah or Christ. Some other Christians do not believe Jesus was God or that he was part of a Trinity; some may not even believe in him as Messiah but choose to think of him as a great teacher and/or prophet of God. Or various combinations, or different views all together.

5. Jesus is a Greek name; Yeshua is the Hebrew name.

Shalom Hebrews,

Just a quick word about your responses:

Other Christians may hold different views, such as there is no Trinity, or that Jesus is not God.

Some other Christians do not believe Jesus was God or that he was part of a Trinity; some may not even believe in him as Messiah but choose to think of him as a great teacher and/or prophet of God. Or various combinations, or different views all together.

If someone does NOT believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of G-d and fully man and fully G-d, co-existing with G-d the Father and G-d the Holy Spirit, then they are NOT "Christians". One cannot deny the deity of the Christ and be a "Christian."

quite true Vickilynn and as for the link provided by hebrews beauty, I woild give that one a very wide birth if you want to know the truth about the trinity or any other part if the bible. You cannot compare christianity with any other religion.

take care

Hey, for anyone that reads this I have a couple of questions.

Shalom One of Peace,

Welcome to Worthy!! Are you a Believer in Jesus?

1. Who and what is GOD?

G-d is the designation for the Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth. He (yes, He is a He) existed before Time and will exist for eternity. He is good, perfect and Holy. He is love and He is just. "G-d" is actually the designation for the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, all equally G-d, but three persons.

2. Did the bible use the name GOD in greek also?

In the first 39 books of the Bible, commonly called the "Old Testament" the language was not Greek, it was Hebrew and Aramaic. G-d was known by several names - YHVH, Elohim, Adonai, L-rd

Here's a great website on the Hebrew names of G-d:

http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Names_of_...mes_of_g-d.html

That website also covers the New Testament (Koine Greek) names for G-d.

3. Did GOD authorize the King James Version if not, who did?

King James I did. But you see, the Word of G-d will be preserved and thus G-d can speak through His Holy Spirit through the Word.

http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/?acti...nInfo&vid=9

In 1604, King James I of England authorized that a new translation of the Bible into English be started. It was finished in 1611, just 85 years after the first translation of the New Testament into English appeared (Tyndale, 1526). The Authorized Version, or King James Version, quickly became the standard for English-speaking Protestants. Its flowing language and prose rhythm has had a profound influence on the literature of the past 300 years. The King James Version present on the Bible Gateway matches the 1987 printing. The KJV is public domain in the United States.

3.Who is Jesus?

He is Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah), fully G-d and fully man, the Son of G-d, the Son of Man, the Second Person in the Tri-unity of G-d, the Savior, the Messiah, The Perfect Lamb who sacrificed Himself upon the Cross to take our sins so that we could be restored to right relationship with the Father. He is my friend, my Redeemer, my Comfort and my Master. He died, was risen again and now sits on the right hand of the Father, interceding for us. He will return for us (His people) one day and we will rule and reign with Him forever.

4. Is Jesus a hebraic name or an English name?

An English version of a Greek version of a Hebrew name, Yeshua.

http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Articles/...st_jewish_.html

The name Yeshua comes from Joshua

[R.Brackett]

Ditto what Hebrews Beauty & Vickilynn said.

[nebula]

1. Who and what is GOD?

"What" is God? The word what applies to things, not beings. And God is a being.

John 4:24 - "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

Exodus 34:6-7 - "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation."

Numbers 23:19 - "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Deuteronomy 4:24 - For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Deuteronomy 4:31a - for the Lord your God is a merciful God,.

Deuteronomy 10:17 - For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.

Deuteronomy 33:27a - The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms

2Samuel 22:33 - God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect.

Psalm 7:11 - God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.

etc.

2. Did the bible use the name GOD in greek also?

The English word God in Greek is Theos.

You can read about it, with links to references, by clicking here .

3. Did GOD authorize the King James Version if not, who did?

I believe the Lord's hand was involved in the making of the translation.

4.Who is Jesus?

Jesus is given many names and titles throughout Scripture. You can read them by clicking here .

5. Is Jesus a hebraic name or an English name?

English

His given name in Hebrew is Yeshua, which means "YHWH is salvation". (YHWH is the name given to God in the Hebrew Scriptures.)

Just because someone is not a mainstream, conservative, or fundamental Christian, doesn't mean they are not Christian in their own right. My only point really is there are many different beliefs and views held by those who consider themselves Christians, and not all of those beliefs include the Trinity, etc. In answering the poster's question, I was trying to show that there is more than one point of view.

From hebrews beauty,

Just because someone is not a mainstream, conservative, or fundamental Christian, doesn't mean they are not Christian in their own right.

Of course there is more than one point of view, for non christians, but there is only one point of view of the truth for christians. Any one who does not believe that Jesus Christ is the living Son of the living God, who died and was risen again to enable the world to be reconciled back to the Father, is not a christian, and is not a christian fundamentalist. No one can be a christian in their own right. That strictly non bibical.
