| | ORTHODOXY AND ROMAN CATHOLICISM |
| | The fundamental witness to the Christian Tradition is the holy Scriptures; and the supreme expositors of the Scriptures are the divinely inspired Fathers of the Church, whether the Greek Fathers or Latin Fathers, Syriac Fathers or Slavic Fathers. | | | Orthodoxy teaches that every bishop, "the living icon of Christ," and his flock constitute the Church in a certain place; or, as St. Ignatius the God-bearer says, the Church of Christ is in the bishop, his priests and deacons, with the people, surrounding the Eucharist in the true faith. | | | In Orthodoxy, Holy Matrimony is not a contract; it is the mysterious or mystical union of a man and woman - in imitation of Christ and the Church - in the presence of "the whole People of God" through her bishop or his presbyter. |

| | The Tetragrammaton in Hebrew Versions |
| | HEBREW SCRIPTURE QUOTATION USING THE DIVINE NAME In certain cases, the writer of the Christian Greek Scriptures quoted a Hebrew Scripture verse in which the divine name is a part of the verse itself. | | | Hebrew Scripture references referring to Jehovah must equally refer to him when they are quoted in the Christian Greek Scriptures. | | | HEBREW SCRIPTURE QUOTATION REFERRING TO THE DIVINE NAME In many cases, the Greek Scripture writer cited a Hebrew Scripture verse in which the divine name was not found in the verse itself, though Jehovah was clearly identified in the Hebrew Scripture context as the subject of the cited verse. |

Humans are like Him (analogous), but we are imperfect being. |

| | It is not as if he did not know Greek, for being the Bishop of Rome dictated such, but yet, he quoted only from the Jewish Scriptures and not the Greek translation. | | | After the conquests by Alexander the Great and his establishment of the city of Alexandria in Egypt, immense numbers of Jews were settled in the new city, which quickly became the commercial and intellectual center of the ancient world, with Greek the universal language. | | | The holy Hebrew language had become a dead language to the Jews of the "Dispersion"; their synagogue services could not be conducted in the mother tongue. |

| | what is the masoretic text and is in the christian's bible? |
| | In other words, many religious teachings of these Pythagorean-Buddhist Essenes, as taken from Pythagorean and Buddhist religious beliefs, as well as Iranian sun-worship, were "added" into their Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures in order to enhance the religious authority of their sect. | | | The same passages that these Essenes yielded to in the Greek Old Testament for their beliefs concerning their godman, when examined in the Jewish Scriptures and rightly understood and interpreted by conservative Rabbis, never were intended to be of a Messianic nature in the first place. | | | Many assume that these Jewish Scriptures, as preserved by these Masoretes, are the "same" Jewish Scriptures contained in their Christian Bibles today. |

| | The Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) |
| | A major defining influence in the standardization of the Hebrew scriptures was a translation of the scriptures from Hebrew to Greek made in Alexandria, Egypt in about 250 BC. | | | The Hebrew scriptures first existed as oral tradition, before reading and writing were common, and began to be written down around 1000 BC, about the time of King David. | | | (The Jews officially defined and closed their scriptures about 91 AD, to protect them from Christian influence.) The Hebrew scriptures and almost all of the Christian scriptures were written by Jews. |

| | Tov, Electronic Resources Relevant to the Textual Criticism of Hebrew Scripture |
| | At this point in time, the existence of the Hebrew Bible in computer-readable form, with vowels and accents, and of the Greek Bible with accents, is a fait accompli. | | | The key to the effective use of any software program of Scripture texts is the availability in the background of a lemmatization and of a morphological analysis (grammatical tagging) of all the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, and Syriac text words. | | | Although these morphological analyses usually follow one central source, such as the lexicon of Köhler-Baumgartner in the case of Hebrew Scripture, they are subjective, and a word which one scholar considers a noun may be considered by another to be a verb. |

| | Biblical Trinity is not borrowed from the pagans! |
| | Moreover, these Scriptures are equally explicit in saying, that those who are reputed to know the writings of the Scriptures, and who hear the prophecies, have no understanding. | | | It is probably a mistake to assume that the doctrine resulted from the intrusion of Greek metaphysics or philosophy into Christian thought; for the data upon which the doctrine rests, and also its earliest attempts at formulation, are much older than the church's encounter with Greek philosophy. | | | The Son is not himself God, but as the highest of the created spiritual beings he is moved as close as possible to God. |

| | WHO ARE WE TO BELIEVE IN? THE HEBREW MESSIAH OR THE CHRISTIAN MESSIAH? |
| | The Messiah of the Jewish Scriptures was cleverly altered in the Greek translation to where he is almost unrecognizable by traditional Judaism. | | | Hundreds of Jewish Scriptures were butchered and purposefully altered by the Essene translators of Alexandria, Egypt, with the expressed purpose of giving "Scriptural authority" to the previously existing religious beliefs which can be shown upon study to be a mixture of Judaism and Egyptian Sun-worship. | | | The failure of the Jewish Prophecies to be fulfilled lays at the feet of a holy nation and a royal priesthood who failed their calling. |

| | Jesus is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew "Joshua." The latter is a contraction of Je-Hoshua. | | | Without Jesus' revelation when He was on earth I would say that the idea of the trinity would be difficult to determine from the Hebrew Scriptures, for after all, Deuteronomy 6:4 states "the LORD is one." But, because of Jesus, we are forced to re-examine our first impression understanding of this statement. | | | ELAH is Aramaic, "god." Elah appears in the Hebrew Bible in Jer. |
