Bible Discussion Thread

I 'm shocked that Isaiah 12 is only one of three place the 1611 Bible uses the divine name. However, in their notes the writers were wise and honest enough to acknowledge that the divine name YHWH 0r in modern english: Jehovah was substitued with the word "LORD " or "O LORD " or "LORD GOD " or "GOD " all in upper case lettering, to distiguish the most high God from any other god 's that mankind might create for himself. This includes Jesus Christ, who many have appreciated so much, that they inadvertantly made him into a god, or even at par with "The GOD " This is something Jesus himself, bothe when on earth and after his resurrection did not accept, as many, many scriptues bear out. Jesus Christ did and is doing tremendous things, but he teaches us divine humility by not trying to usurp his father Jehovah 's position as the supreme head of the universe. By the way, has anyone ever wondered why or how Jehovah 's Witnesses chose that "legal " name. To make their lives easier, one would think they 'd follow the churches, and just call themselves "the LORD 'S Witnesses ", but they didn 't--just a thought.
