Date Posted:08/11/2011 7:24 AMCopy HTML Howdy Ian, Recently you stated real cool somewhere that Romans 10:9 "Jesus is Lord" .. Can actually translate as "Yeshua is Yahweh." but that's fine by me.. However the text states "κυριον Ἱησουν " which is accusative - on both nouns so how do you draw this conclusion from the Hebrew ?? blessings Eric |

Re:small question for Ιανος Date Posted:08/11/2011 8:39 AMCopy HTML Eric, If I may put my two pence worth in, A group I once was involved in, ‘Assemblies of Yahweh in the Messiah’, (a ‘proper’ name group) state that the name of Yahshua (Jesus) is a combination of the Hebrew names YWWH (God, meaning eternally existent one, ‘I AM’) and Yoshua (Joshua, meaning 'God the Savior'. See Matthew 1:20-21.) Whether there is any connection to what you are seeking or not. Ralph.

Re:small question for Ιανος Date Posted:08/11/2011 9:49 AMCopy HTML Hello, Eric. Recently you stated real cool somewhere that Romans 10:9 "Jesus is Lord" ... Can actually translate as "Yeshua is Yahweh." Not quite. What I said was that to confess, 'Jesus is Lord' in the 1st century Judeo-Christian context, was to ascribe to Jesus the majesty and dignity ordinarily accorded to God, the Father. In a strictly Roman context, the same confession was explicitly counter cultural given that 'Caesar was Lord', and he certainly brooked no competitors to his dignity or majesty! ;) Please keep in mind that in the Septuagint (the Bible of the early Church) יהוה most frequently was translated κύριος (or κύριον in the accusative case). However the text states "κυριον Ἱησουν " which is accusative - on both nouns so how do you draw this conclusion from the Hebrew ?? That both 'Lord' and 'Jesus' appear in the accusative case isn't surprising given that the combination obviously functions as the direct object of the verbal action in the clause. Consequently it couldn't be written any other way in Romans 10:9. Likely as not you already knew that 'Jesus is Lord' is written ישו הוא האדון in Hebrew. However, you probably didn't know that 'Jesus is Lord' is written 'Yeshu ha MarYah' in Aramaic (I've used English transliteration given that noone reading this is likely to have a Syriac font loaded on their computers). 'MarYah' is a compound word derived from 'Mar' (i.e. 'Lord') and 'Yah(weh)', the personal name of God. It's not surprising, then, that the Aramaic New Testament can record: “For today in the city of David there has been born for you a Saviour, who is Lord-Yah the Messiah” (Luke 2:11). Appreciating all of this provides considerable depth and clarity to Paul's teaching about who Jesus is :) Blessings, Ian
