If someone in the New Testament quoted an Old Testament verse that contained God's Name, does that prove that the Name was originally there?

Question

If someone in the New Testament quoted an Old Testament verse that contained God's Name, does that prove that the Name was originally there?

Answer 1

1) If someone in the New Testament quoted an Old Testament verse that contained God's Name, does that prove that the Name was originally there?



Of course not. Such a conclusion is simply not logical, and there are (as one might expect) many similar examples to the contrary.



In addition, *we know a very important reason that probably would have caused the authors to not include the tetragrammaton*. In fact, the available evidence favors (but definitely falls short of proving) the hypothesis that the tetragrammaton did not appear in the autograph of any of the New Testament documents.

Answer 2

Which one? El, El Elyon, Adonai, and Yahweh were all separate gods once, but they're all rendered in English as "God" or "Lord". Religious people often find it hard to accept that the Bible is a compiled book, written over centuries in a culture that was not static and unchanging, but quite fluid and mixing constantly with the surrounding civilizations. Virtually all Old Testament quotes in the New Testament are from the Greek Septuagint, not the original Hebrew and they preserve the translation errors from the Greek, rather than correcting them -- something you'd think the New Testament writers would have done if God was inspiring them.

Answer 3

Jesus and his disciples respected the Old Testament. So, we can considered that they used God's name in the Old Testament. However, translators hid God's name. It should be restored.

Answer 4

Of course. The apostles were bold men. Notice what Peter told the leaders of the Jewish supreme court. Read for yourselves the account in Acts 3 & 4. And at Acts 4:19, 20 The apostles openly defied these rulers by saying "We must obey God rather than men".



It was not until after the apostles died that the Christian congregation gradually went to sleep. Shortly the congregation was hijacked by apostates and opportunists who were Christian in name only. See Jesus prediction 1n Mathew 13:25 within the parable of the man who sowed and 1 John 2:18,18; 3 John 9, 10; 2 Peter 2:1-3



"But ask yourself this. Is English the only language spoken by people around the world? How do people using Bible translations other than English treat the divine name in their copies of the Bible? Note the following.

Bottom Line



Your question must be truthfully answered by saying this. Under inspiration from God the bold men who were directed to write could not have done anything else but use and honor the divine name. After all, was it not Jesus who promised his Father this?



"Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you,+ but I know you,+ and these have come to know that you sent me. 26 I have made your name known to them and will make it known,+ so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.” (John 17:25, 26)



Jesus, like his Father, NEV ER makes false promises.

Answer 5

Well of course. That's simple logic.



(John 17:25, 26) 25 Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you; but I have come to know you, and these have come to know that you sent me forth. 26 And I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”

Answer 6

Seems to me it would...here are my Biblical proofs:





Should we pronounce or use God’s personal name of Jehovah? History indicates that, in time, the Jewish people developed a superstitious attitude toward God’s name, viewing it as something that they should not pronounce. (Ex. 20:7) Look at this one verse and see how many translations don’t use Jehovah’s name!





New International Version

Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD-- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.





New Living Translation

Then they will learn that you alone are called the LORD, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.

May they know that You alone-- whose name is Yahweh-- are the Most High over all the earth. 





International Standard Version

Then they will know that you alone— whose name is LORD— are the Most High over all the earth.



NET Bible

Bible scholars acknowledge that God’s personal name, as represented by the Tetragrammaton , appears almost 7,000 times in the original text of the Hebrew Scriptures. Below are a few examples.



Exodus 6:3 “And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.”



Isa. 12:12 “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is my salvation.”



Isa. 26:4 “Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting

Strength”



John 1: 18 No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known. 



Jesus was seen but according to this scripture no one (no man) has EVER SEEN God. So far one would be tempted to agree that God is not Jesus then. 



Exodus 23:13 "Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips.



For centuries, scholars thought that the Tetragrammaton was absent from manuscripts of he Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. Then, in the mid-20th century, some very old fragments of the Greek Septuagint version that existed in Jesus’ day were brought to the attention of scholars. Those fragments contain the personal name of God, written in Hebrew characters. So in Jesus’ day, copies of the Scriptures in Greek did contain the divine name. 



“Jehovah" occurs 6712 times in 5,720 verses in the Darby Bible:

Jeremiah 16:21 “ “So I will make them know, At this time I will make them know my power and my might, And they will have to know that my name is Jehovah.” 



King James Bible 

That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. 



Holman Christian Standard Bible 

“ That they may they know that You alone-- whose name is Yahweh-- are the Most High over all the earth.” 







Aramaic Bible in Plain English: 

“And they shall know that your Name is Lord Jehovah; you alone are exalted in all the Earth! “



New World Translation 

“May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.”



PSALMS 89:5 

And the heavens shall celebrate thy wonders, O Jehovah, and thy faithfulness in the congregation of the saints. - Darby Bible Translation

Romans 10:13 “ For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved . However, how will they call on him if they have not put faith in him? How, in turn, will they put faith in him about whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach? How, in turn, will they preach unless they have been sent out? Just as it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who declare good news of good things!”

Answer 7

Answer 8

That would seem self evident.

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

No.
