When I move to Nostr I'm going to give everyone my private key.
Why not? It'll be funnier that way.
My typos are so stupid and they always happen when I'm trying to make a serious point. I hate them. Edits are the best thing that happened to Fedi.
It’s getting better, a lot of the people there are sick of crypto. It’s not just bot anymore.
I can't wait for Nostr to be good so these retarded instance politics are gone forever.
Can you imagine relying on a piece of software maintained by a schizo faggot like Pete? Even if it's decentralized, he'll still be hardcoding some bullshit into it. I wouldn't use Revolver if it was the best software on earth.
By the time he's in a nursing home he'll admit brown people commit more crimes than British natives.
Maybe she would have IF I COULD SEE HER POSTS!!!
I can't read this because of your faggot admin and I don't care enough to open another instance just so I can.
Kill. Yourself. To. Death.
Or join another instance, and everything will be fine.
Yes, you do know what it's about. If you're going to gargle Pete's balls all day, at least have the decency to untag me and kill yourself.
At least Graf is straightforward. He's proud of protecting his cunny crew from criticism. P is underhanded with the way he manipulates content.
If you’re just going to be pedantic just to defend evil then there’s no need to respond. Obviously I know that. I’m sorry I didn’t give you a full introductory course on the Aramaic, Hebrew writing system. The point remains that “Yahweh” is not the Hebrew name. It’s an artificial construction created with the explicit intent to harm Christ’s body.
If that pronunciation is based on a lie that solely exists to discredit God's revelation, then no, it's not a good thing.
It can't be an attempt to better understand Hebrew because it's not Hebrew. The Hebrew doesn't have vowels.
It’s the genealogy of the idea.
It was explicitly created by a crackpot to libel Christianity and undermine the historical consensus, and only became popular again when the churches began adopting radical social liberalism.
Why would we ever allow such a thing to be accepted?
The immediate response to MW’s book was summary dismissal and ridicule. The entire premise is quite clearly antithetical to Christianity, MW’s own personal intentions notwithstanding.
Unfortunately, even more apostate men than MW quickly stumbled across his blasphemy. John Thomas and the Christadelphians, a Unitarian sect was thrilled with MW’s “new Christology” as it helped them amplifying their own proto-Zionist dispensationalism.
The publication records show MW’s “Yahveh” spelling took off in the 1880s, peaking around 1890, and then rapidly falling off again by 1900. The trivially variant spelling “Yahweh” which we take for granted today lingered in the background, until exploding this century.
So what are we to make of all this?
Firstly, the behavior of un-translating God’s “I am” back into some particular ancient sound has at most six centuries of history. The idea of replacing the Word with some specific noise is a novelty without theological warrant.
Secondly, the specific genealogy of the <2 century-old “Yahweh” is 100% evil. A philologist briefly flubs an unimportant academic question. A man who denies the Inspiration of Scripture uses that error to read back into Scripture words that are literally absent. But of course these tactics always appeal to indolent Christians who revel in snatching shiny baubles off the ground and carrying them into their churches and hearts, where they are baptized as sound doctrine, against all reason, history, or Scriptural warrant.
Nobody cares what they meant when they came up with a plainly novel, extra-Christian idea.
“Oh that sounds nice, and isn’t it pious! Why this just feels so authentically Judeo-Christian”.
Yes, yes it does. And that is the real root of the problem.
In 1856/57, Alexander MacWhorter III was himself inspired by discovering Gesenius’s off-hand speculation. What was all but a footnote in one man’s work became another man’s passion. MacWhorter (MW) did not simply treat “Yahweh” as a pronunciation; he reinterpreted all of Scripture on the basis of his exegesis of this new word.
MW published a 179 page book2 titled “Yahveh Christ, or, The Memorial Name” dedicated to his “new Christology” which reimagines all of Scripture in the context of “I am” being a demonic lie intended to conceal a future* promise. MW rejected “I am” out of hand as pagan superstition, the result of the corrupt & unreliable LXX.
Not only did this put him at odds with four thousand years of believers, but most importantly with Christ Himself and the NT which quote it as Scripture. Having opened the door to apostasy, MW springboards from Gesenius’s careless aside to transform “YHWH” from God’s eternal “I am” into a fundamentally opposed phrase in the future tense– something that doesn’t even exist in Hebrew –“He who will be”! Even while in places railing against his contemporaries who questioned Scripture, MW’s entire thesis rests on DH and the JEDP theory which nullifies Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch.
It is also notable that while LXX is filled with “Theos” or God, MW is passionate that referring to God as God is actually a pagan philosophical trick which could only possibly exist due to the very translation Jesus used but MW condemns out of hand.
