It has to do with the Hebrew word for chariot-Merkavah which
was translated into Aramaic/then Greek/then Latin/then from latin into
other languages.
I was making reference to the passage in 2Kings 2:11, and the subsequent four sentences. In fact not only does it form the basis
for much messianic speculation but some ignorant theologians used
these passages as basis for the Legends of the "Holy Grail".
Unfortunately it totally perverts the intent of of the author.
The Holy Scriptures, blessed by the Lord, is often interpreted
incorrectly with the intent to convince those weak in the true
faith of God away to ones own point of view. Like the artisan
who carves a statue of inanimate stone by chiseling away the
excess substance, many of your cohorts "Chisel" away the faith
of the weak until you are left with a diety that is of "stone"
unable to speak, unable to answer, unable to move. You have
wrought an idol of stone.
How have you done it? You who speak of GOD and Love in words
untried, untested and certainly unexamined have little regard
for the meaning of words. How dare you say in regard to our Holy
creator those words which I have seen... "God is Love"!
Have you examined the intent of those words? Those words with
which you accuse our creator of "is Love" are a heresy. The
deadly sin lies in the intent of the word "is".
Were I blessed by my creator to be a High Priest in the temple
at Jerusalem and you came to me and proclaimed "God is Love!"
I would slap your face, grab the first roman that happened by
and would ask him to crucify you! Imatio Dei for sure!
How dare you accuse my Holy Creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac
Jacob and Moses of "IS-NESS"! I think you had better watch what
you say in that regard!
