God uses many different names in the bible...

ehovOriginally posted by robbie carrobieIf it is a Jehovahs Witness bible, then you only have half a translation. i only have one question, translate from direct ancient Jewish text. "I am, who am" correctly.
The worlds 'most accurate English translation', (independently assessed by associate professor Jason BeDhun) has undergone its latest revision. Begun sometime in 2005 this refining process took eight years and a team of volunteer researchers to accomplish and we thank them for their hard work! We are reminded of the words of the psalmist, that Go ...[text shortened]... r God be with you.
'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my roadway' - Psalm 119:105
It cannot be translated into english. The word "I" in this text, is specifically Jewish. It is a singular plural word. The rough translation is, "I's am whom am". The Jews saw God as a singular plural being. Something overlooked by many christains in general.

Originally posted by PudgenikThe text is not about Gods self existence, a proper translation is 'he causes to become', the idea being that God fulfils his purposes. 'I am that I am', or 'Is am who am', makes absolutely no sense in English and cannot be described in any other terms as poor translation. What other Christians or Jews think is irrelevant. I don't understand what you mean by a Jehovahs Witness Bible, we did not write the original Hebrew and Greek, half a translation makes even less sense. Its the most accurate English translation in the history of humanity, get yourself a copy and test out whether its not in fact the case.

Remember the scripture, if you are to decieve even the littlest of My children. You brood of vipers, you will not escape what is coming. It will be sonner than you think.

Let us reveal a bit of Revelations. The four horsemen, they travel in different directions. What do you think thier starting point is? Easy, Jerusalem! Interesting, in Revelations, it states, "run and hide, for the great day of the Lord is here". This verse is at the breaking of the sixth seal. Mankind will not even know that the other five seals have been broken.
