Oh, that's lovely. Thank you.

Since this thread is about Words at least write the Place `s proper
name *Beth EL,,,
Also you didn`t mention that he was a Healer and a prophet and the the
pupil of Eliyahu Hanavie [ prophet] .

In Hebrew it might come out as "Beth EL" but in English it's "Bethel"..

I Hope you are kidding ,, the Bible wasn`t written in English it is
BETH EL, which in fact is the House of God , like Beth Lehem , the
house of bread, it was there this way,,, centuries before it was
translated into English ....
mirjam

I didn't say the Bible was written in English. However, the first Bible
in English was translated from sources in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic
etc several hundred years ago and the English word used then was
"Bethel", other English translations have used "Beth El", "Beth-El" or
"Beth-el".
I've no idea what word or phrase was used when the Bible was translated
into other languages and I don't know what sources were used but see
www.biblegateway.com/versions and take your pick.

Did the ancient Hebrews used the Latin alphabet when writing the
Tanach? Hyphens and all?? This whole thread is just too hilarious to
ignore....

Oh thank you sooo much Trish. Now instead of several things that need doing
around my house on my days off I will be seeking Google driving directions
between Kurri Kurri and Woy Woy.

Nope. They're read to me in Church and, frankly, I often don't listen.
I'm a muso and am usually taken up with that while Mass is going on.

The reason people don't call it Beth El is probably that they simply
don't want to.
You might be correct in that idea , because if you will read it like
the Correct name BET EL , you will have to admit that your belief grew
out of the Jewish belief..

No it didn't. Jesus happened to be a Jew and had a Jewish upbringing,
that's all. Why should it follow that Christianity is somehow a
bowdlerised version of Judaism? That's not logical. Didn't Jesus come to
*teach* the Jews of newer forms? The Jews chose not to follow him and
that's cool by me. Why should they if they didn't want to?

You can blame all those dratted apostles for taking Christianity to the
rest of the world: it's their fault they felt it appropriate to
translate the scriptures, not mine.

Any way i looked at google most Jewish organizations write *it
properly Beth-El as 2 separate words ,, Most Christian organizations ,
spell it in one word , but i saw some ministries and missions who also
write it in2 words ,,,,,,
mirjam

Why does it matter? Why are you banging on and on about it? Who cares? I
care approximately as much as you care about the correct name for
'Scottish skirts'. It won't kill me if you continue to use the misnomer
and it won't kill you if I don't bother to learn the myriad names of
your Israeli towns. Why are we arguing? Who cares?

It is you who keeps accusing , spreading hateful words, i am just
stating the pure historical facts , We happened to be the people of
the book and it is a natural part of our langugaue and heritage, and
it speaks about events that happened here and around here. And nobody
accuses you of anything , why jump on the apostles or aon anybody
else ,, all i said was that the Name of a place was written in 2
seprate words , i also checked for your benefit and my understanding,
and saw and wrote here !!! that it seems that Jewish organizations
write it in it`s Hebrew way in 2 words , while most but not all
Christian organizations write that name place in as if it is one
word.... and you answer in a stream of hatred, all your prejudices
come out . There is nothing wrong with saying the Historical fact that
Christianity Developed from Judaism You yourself Agre that Jesus was a
Jew, so why is it ok for YOU to say it and Not Ok for Me to say
it ,,,, Christianity was `so to say ` Sown` when the Greeks took
Israel , the friction between Judaism and helenism is the first layer
of the future Christaininty ,, later it took in some neo Helenism as
well as some paganism ,,,,
If stating historical facts makes you uneasy it is your problem ..
have a nice time ,,,,

And at least when I'm unkind, it is usually in the service of being
clever or funny, while you are simply unkind and rarely clever or
funny.
