|
| |
Q5. If names don’t change from language to language, what about Absolom in 2Chronicles 11:21 being the same as Abishalom in 1Kings 15:2? And what of Ishtar, the Assyo-Babylonian goddess known to the Hebrews as Astoreth, and to the Canaanites as Astarte in English, Easter.

Q7. With regard to the belief that “Yahweh” is more acceptable than “Jehovah,” your web site states that names do not change from one language to the next. This is not true.

Right? >Answer< |

|
| |

“For not the hearers of the law [are] just before Yahweh, but the doers of the law shall be justified” (Rom. 2:13). Compare that with:
“Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall be no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin. (Rom. 3:20) “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” (Rom. 3:28) >Answer< |
