That means, and you have       clearly referenced this before that you do not believe all the Bible as you       know what Elohiym means yet you disagree with it. And that is found first in       Gen 1:1 Plus in many other scriptures, and is also used with the name       Yehovah.              I would suggest to you that you seek Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. And       choose life everlasting. True life, not some possibility of being kicked       outside the city like a dawg.       >       >       > >       > > >       > > >       > > > >       > > > > >       > > > > > The NWT has restored the OT Tetragrammaton in all of its nearly 7000       > > > > > places.       > > > > >       > > > > > Sincerely James       > > > >       > > > > NWT Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.       > > > >       > > > > Throughout that chapter the word “God’ was used.       > > >       > > > The first use of God's name "Jehovah" was at Genesis 2:4:       > > >       > > > -- American Standard       > > > Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth       > > > when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and       > > > heaven.       > >       > > They made the same mistake as did the NWT, you want to be technically       > > correct?

No one. So your guess is as good as anyone else's.              The Tetragamaton is just four consonants It is not Spelled as Yehovah,       Jehovah or God. What Yehovah spoke is written as to who He is and Was. It was       determined by men to use those four letters because and out of total respect       and fear of the Master of all things.              Instead of arguing with a severe case of parrotosis, think, learn what it is       that you have been taught to parrot, and then or first, learn directly of       God, by His spirit seeing His truth, and then compare His truth against that       of the watchtower mag as written by godless men. You can only do the latter       if you give your life to Jesus, to realize the full benefits of it but prior       to that you can ask God, expecting an answer, if He would reveal Himself to       you in case you have been deceived. After all this is all between Him and you       or satan. Not me, or some other person.              Proverbs 8:17 – “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early       shall find me.”       Jeremiah 29:13 – “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search       for me with all your heart.”              These truths are everlasting.              >       >       > > Plus the word       > > elohiym, the original name for the creator is correct, not “God”.

That your bible is false is a proven fact, and God has       told told JW’s that have been set free from the JW’s directly and or       indirectly of that fact, and that it is displeasing to Him.              You have always, according to you, been lying to everyone you post to on the       Usenet, and even when and if you nock on peoples doors, you lie to them,       since according to you the bibles of others are all lying and do not contain       all the truth, ‘truth’ as you define it. Not the JW org as you recently       posted, but specifically your ’truth’.              SO, if you feed others lies to placate them that is just what satan does, and       you imitate him since you do not have the faith to practice what you believe.       You cannot deny that you feed others what you believe to be a lie. And if       this seems harsh, just remember I am pointing out your own arguments that by       the use of those arguments you are bound by your own words. Either follow       them for the rest of your life or be known publicly known as a hypocrite to       the JW religion. For that is how you have been behaving for as long as I have       known you.              Why try to run a con game on everyone?       >       >       > >       > > Gen 2:4 Yehovah-Elohim.
