Christianity of today
is a bit different than what the Bible depicts for me or to what it was
intended to be. The doctrines that are being taught in the Christian Churches
over the past eighteen/nineteen hundred years or so, often times contradict
scripture that one might read in their bibles. Therefore, in an attempt to put
to rest this confusing and troublesome situation, I went in search for this
solution. This document defines the problem and the corrective action necessary
to put Christianity back to where I think it was intended to be.
Legend: My words are
in bold blue, [my entries] or (my aids), Christ'
words are in red, Words in black are text lifted from reference material. Caps, boldfaced type and/or underlining are my personal
added emphasis. Numbers, preceded
with the letter "H" or "G", represent the Strong’s
Exhaustive Concordance reference numbers.
The Problem stated; something simply got lost in
the translation. What? The distinction made with the words used to indicate
"God" "god" or "gods" in the Hebrew text of the
OT. These words, transliterated, are el, elohiym, and elowahh. The Greek
Septuagint translators overlooked this distinction and simply used the word
"Theos", and their grammatical variations, in all three cases. Here
is an example from the Hebrew text:
This error was dispersed throughout most of
Christianity, and eventually ended up leading people to believe that Jesus
Christ was God also. Here is one of those verses that is quite clear,
indicating that Jesus Christ is "God" at least to Thomas. Ref:
With this reference, what do you think might
have been the exact word that Thomas used here, most likely spoken in Aramaic
or Hebrew? Was it the equivalent to el, elowahh, or elohiym?
The corrective action: When one recognizes the
distinction that the Hebrew writers definitely made with these three words,
they are on their way to understanding our Lord Jesus as a man. From there it
is a short step to knowing God the Father, whose name is roughly pronounced as
Yahweh or popularly spoken as Jehovah in English.
Mat 11:27 All things are
delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father;
neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son
will reveal him.
Therefore, it is not
difficult for any truth seeker to verify my finding expresses on this site, on
their own, using valid scripture, and a little help from the Holy Spirit. It is
my opinion that the apathetic character trait of mankind in general has
attributed to the degradation and other realities we find in today’s Christian
church. Please click on the “Commentary”
