Sure I'm not Mycroft? Or that fat guy with a cane and sixpence? Ever heard of nyud.net? There are a few other such services out there too. I love them. You should try it. Lets you see what changes are made to more or less all pages on the net, often in real-time, or you can slide time back and forth (almost as in IRL when you learn to handle the secrets of life).
Utna: So if let's say "Ernie" (let's just call him that for now) decides he'd close down his servers and his bitcoin mining operation to let's say (in theory of course) re-route the flood of hashed coins from his affiliates' HW he's hosting physically, to let's say, a secret digital wallet he's stuck away somewhere, under a claim that the whole mining operation is now gone bogus since he was attacked by the Devil (!), and that because of that he has been unable to hash for over a week while disappearing completely from all means of contact (as well as claiming a family member was dying, that he caught the flu, that he suddenly was moving physical location, that a massive denial of service attack destroyed the equipment, all in about a week....).
Utna: I mean, the guy is paranoid, and he is short on air, he's desperate, for things are starting to Kristalize itself, and people are starting to realise what this fake of a con-man is.... well, part of his plan seems to be to let it out on me, having me and a few others not mentioned take the force off the blow. Well, to quote one Queen Elizabeth, a distant relative of mine: «NOT BLOODY LIKELY!
Utna: And last night we were able to trace "Ernie's" trail of slime far behind our defences. Copies of signed logs and and other evidence is secured, just in case he should pull the drama queen card again as he uses to. Penny snatcher, this "Ernie". Penny snatcher. I mean, how low can you go? I thought I'd been pretty low and stupid in times of my life, but this here, maan, it's waaay outta my league. Touché! I'm impressed! Honestly!
Utna: I am certainly the first to admit I'm not a saint, but backstabbing and boasting of drowning kittens and what should be written on my tombstone? Comeon. Like I said in an earlier post, you guys probably have your own satellite by now. And I expect a pm or something from Admin or Mods, I guess I would have to explain myself further. I hoped it wouldn't come to this, but it appears I'm already past Rubicon. Bollocks! I hate this damn war!
To be honest, this is perfectly adequate use of space in this thread, for it seems to relate, not just in terms of accusations that may or may not be implied here, are you implying I like little boys?

Luke 1
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”
* I bolded the text for illustration purposes. He will be called "son of God", really means he will be called "Bar Abba".
Another thing; there is no J letter in Hebrew (the closest sound is the Yod). And Hebrew language tend to end their words with a consonant, in case that there is a vowel, that vowel will be pronounce in a guttural way (adding ch, like Bach at the end of the pronunciation, not to show up in the written form).

Are you saying your Lord is Jesus Barabbas? Son of God isn't Bar Abba, that means Son of the Father. See Matt 27, Mark 15 and John 18. Good luck.

There is no I or Y in Hebrew. All Hebrew letters are consonants. The letter J was infact introduced into Ecclesiastical Latin to being able to render Hebrew transliterations more correctly. So your point was again?
The /j/ phoneme is the sound you find behind the Y in "Yes". For in english the letter J is voiced out as /dʒ/. So it's not the J that isn't in Hebrew, it's English which renders the Latin alphabet the "wrong" way. You should learn some basic Latin and Hebrew and perhaps even go a bit under the surface of English too, like learning to understand the different phonemes in the given languages so they can be identified and understood, other than saying nonsense like there are no sound J in Hebrew. And not all of us are Britons or Americans here either btw. Every language has their own ways with the alphabet and the phonemes. And things like transliteration is confusing, therefore I normally support my transliterations with the Masoretic Hebrew without niqquds.
Jews, for various reasons, started to substitute His name with the Hebrew title "Adonai". Adonai is the Hebrew word for "Lord". This information can be easily verified in many Bible dictionaries and various encyclopedias.
Jews started to vocally replace the name "Yahweh" with "Adonai" (Lord) for two reasons:
1. It was beginning to be believed that His name was too sacred to be uttered
2. They preferred to simply call Him "Elohim" rather than "Yahweh" to demonstrate to the world that He is the only true Elohim.

From what I have dug up the name of Jesus of supposed to be Joshua. Technically it would be Yahshua since the J is newly introduced.
The oldest direct ancestor of English letter Y was the Semitic letter waw, from which also come F, U, V, and W. See F for details. The Greek and Latin alphabets developed from the Phoenician form of this early alphabet. In Modern English, there is also some historical influence from the old English letter yogh (Ȝȝ), which developed from Semitic gimel, as shown below.

Who teach you this crap? Yes, J was introduced after Jesus lived, and so was the Y. The J was introduced into Latin in order to render the name of their Lord better. The Y is a raised V or an Old English letter that is more related to the consonant /v/ rather than the modern semi-vocal /j/.

I just told you the boring but true truth. That you have no interest into anything but something you heard, what can I do? If you intend to refute something linguistic, then you use linguistics to explain it. Phonological basics like phonemes and the right way to transliterate foreign languages, well, In English the /j/ phoneme is written Y or I. In Norwegian and German, the /j/ phoneme is written J. And in Hebrew, the /j/ phoneme is written י which is written /jod/ or yod in English, Jod in German and probably French and Spanish and Italian also, since they are Latin languages, and the IPA system is styled on Greek and Latin phonology much.
In short, the misconception here at ATS that י cannot be written Jod, well, it's not true. J in Norwegian is even called Jodd.
