The problem can be settled when we discover what language God speaks. I'm sure He's aware of our discussion so I expect a post from Him clearing this up any minute now. Hold your breath.

D and 4 are the correct answers, but if God spoke to you would you listen?

Since you know the answer I assume you are in direct communication already. This quote is indicative.

That's not the only option. What is your purpose?

It's the only option that makes sense to me. If you claim you are in direct communication with God and you're not insane then you are pulling a scam.

That is not my claim. My claim is etymologically based.

If you are relying on a very dubious historical authority then I find you totally unconvincing. This is my own personal viewpoint and I am not attacking you personally. I merely find your sources insufficient.

You just have been and now you're not?

My sources include the Hebrew Tanakh and Origins: a short etymological dictionary of modern English by Eric Partridge respectively for God's name and the name of His Son.

Other options that I've heard of include Allah and Elvis.

What about, say, in the ancient Zoroastrian or Hindu religions?

I meant only according to the Bible and its canon.

You've misinterpreted my posts. I said that if you claimed to have direct knowledge then you were scamming or nuts. If you claim only derived knowledge I can understand your point of view but do not find it valid. The assassination of Kennedy still has many unanswered questions and that happened with living witnesses and camera evidence. To accept testimony thousands of years old that has been passed from person to person before it was recorded by people who most likely misinterpreted what they heard is to be totally gullible. Your information has nil possibilities of validity.

Don't you guys know anything? God's name is Allah, and he has no stinking organic son.

I can tell you're not serious. You're just looking for attention.

Yeshua HaMasiach: Is that Aramaic?

Also, wouldn't it have been something along the lines of Yeshua ben Joseph, to indicate himself to be the son of Joseph?
