God is not omniscient.

The Strange History of the Letter J – Healing Law- Legal News and Information on Laws, Court Cases, and Police

Is Jesus Really the True Name for the Savior?

The short answer is NO.

Despite the current popularity of the letter J, and in particular the name Jesus, the poplar J, as in Jam, sound did not exist in either Greek, Latin or Hebrew.

Additionally, Greek and Latin languages lacked the “Y” sound, so they replaced it with I. The name became further diluted when translated into English when the letter was replaced with the J.

This occurred in large part because- Greek and Latin relied on 4th century translations of the sacred texts, and Hebrew at the time was nearly a forgotten language. Because of this, they did not have access to the Y sound created by the Hebrew letter Yod/Yud.

In Hebrew however, the name of the savior is more properly pronounced “Yeshua” or “Yahusha”. A translation lost in the King James Version of the Bible, which popularized the modern name.

If Jesus was a Jew, why the Hispanic name?

Good question Holden. I don't know why though.

Why did the Bible take the story from the oldest surviving book "The Epic of Gilgamesh" from about 2500-2750 BC and change the characters names to Noah and call it the story of Noah's Ark?

Upon further reading when the "I" and "J' were both used as the same ninth letter, the "j" was pronounced like hey instead of jay. So now I am trying to figure out what year it got the jay sound.

JEEEsus sounds much more powerful than HEYsus.

In some dialectic spanish the letter J is phonetically a palatal approximate and sounds like H. José becomes Ho seh. In others such as catalan J sounds like ch in hebrew, a vetal frictive. In Portuguese and French more of a glottal sound similar to American english.

Actually scroat is not wrong in that God allowed free will. Condensed down that would mean that even tho he knows where it is headed he still allows man the free will to do it. also...the phrase 'god works in mysterious ways' can not be ignored....

Except..... by really really really smart guys who know more than god.

How exactly does God allow free will Lazs? How is this confirmed and proven? How did you come to this conclusion about God?

I have never heard it stated that God allows this and not that.

You can do anything you want. He won’t stop you.

How do you know he won't stop you? How do you know he is allowing it?

Faith and observation. It's pretty simple really. god allows you to make really bad decisions. But he is always there to help you get over said bad decisions.

Thank you Lazs.

'you'? sorry fishbaum... at first I thought you were talking to me? But none of what you said applies to me.

And saying that freewill depends on no one including god knowing where it will lead? That is the cop out to me. He could stop you from doing it. basically? that is all that matters. As is the case most of the time? you are overthinking it.

lazs

69... LOL.... Yeah... The fact that I know these things is proof that I am a slow learner.

Scroat and fishbaum are also but at their age I would think they would be getting an inkling of this stuff..... Starts with agnostic.
