Bible names suspect--
Duane:
Did anyone ever ponder why the Bible names of the disciples, "leading characters", as well as the books of the Bible have such an English sound to them? Adam, Samson, David, Moses, John, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Timothy, Titus, Araham etc?
Wouldn't it seem more realisitic, knowing the Bible was of another culture and language of Greek and Hebrew--that the twelve disciples would have names like: Sabtecheh, Havilah, Sabtah, Ahazuerus, Ashkanaz, Riphath and Togarmah?
Or, children's Bible stories: Mazraim and Goliath, Dodanim and the whale, instead of Mary and Joseph-try: Milchah and Chedorlaomer?
sounds TOO convenient for me--
gmik:
Never thought of that. :D Maybe they were changed...isn't Jesus really Yeshua which means joshua??
Duane:
I guess I just have too much time on my hands BUT I think of little Johnnie coming home from sunday school and the parents ask:
"Well, Johnnie, what did you learn about today in Sunday School?" Johnnie: "Ahasuerus and the whale" or Mahershalahashbaz in
the lions den". Too funny!

Hi,
I knew this some 46 years ago , well it come 's down to the engish mind set . & so many people interprtating the letters, in thier own langage, & apart from to much not being as it should this is an other example of not getting it right,
Another point is while the letters were being writen N T so called , could not put thier names signed at the bottom of the letters because they the writers would have been found & killed , this was all done underground at the time, stelth....
