I found this paragraph in Skia chapter:

Quote:
As a reminder, the capitalized Greek letters within the parenthesis represent the placeholders used throughout all of the 70 extant first-, second-, and third-century Renewed Covenant manuscripts for the two names and five titles attributable to Yahuweh, Yahushua, and the Set Apart Spirit. The names were not transliterated and written out because there was no Y, H, or W sound attributable to the letters in the Greek alphabet, and the titles were represented by placeholders rather than translated words because the Hebrew terms were more accurate and descriptive than their closest Greek replacements. Furthermore, by using placeholders rather than transliterations and translations, we are required by design to examine Hebrew Scripture to understand Greek - viewing the Renewed Covenant through the perspective of the Old.


I was just wondering what the 5 titles were - Lord, Adonai, Elohim. etc.? Is the title "Lord" included as one of these?

Thanks.

Thanks. Is "Lord" also the title for God? What were the original Greek words used? Is there someplace I can find them online as they were included in the original Greek manuscripts? Why is it incorrect to say "Lord"?

Thanks for your help.

Love, and wisdom from YAHUWEH our god,

This is a question for Swalchy really. Do you think that when they used the placeholder instead of just writing theos that perhaps the scribes were simply being a bit overzelous. I say this because the same arguments could be used against the word god. While I agree with you that the title god is acceptable, I mean even the word el was the name of a pagan diety, I was just wondering if there was more to the word theos than I realized.

Your loving brother,
