@: The scriptures have been altered.. ...........Hebrew and Aramaic doesn't have 'J' sound even now..
At last someone in this forum think THE SCRIPTURES HAVE BEEN ALTERED !
If that is the case , how to find out which portion have been altered ? What is the fool proof method to find out this ? You are suggesting "J" sound method...as an example.....I wonder how the name of these people were pronounced then !
JACOB , JOSHUA , JEREMIAH ,JOEL , JONAH ,.......
even....JOSEPH , JOHN , JAMES
Regarding Emmanuel.....
English bible says..."they shall call his name Emmanuel"
But...Tamil bible says...அவருக்கு இம்மானுவேல் என்று *பெயரிடுவார்கள்*(not அழைபபார்கள் !)
.....ok...let us blame the translaters and move on.
@: Though the practices may resemble with other culture.. But the meaning.?
Is it ok to practice something resemble with other culture, if it has a meaning that goes with bible ?
