Because, I guess, that the Hebrew "Immanuel" starts with their letter A'in or Ayin, and not Iud. <br /><br />The Great Isaiah Scroll (Dead Sea) spells it starting with the ayin, as does the Masoretic text. So your point never occurred to me.

And may also have something to do with the choosing of a name beginning with a J, such as Jesus. And/or a Y(ud) like Yahweh, Yoshua, Yeshua and all the other derivatives.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578947287312584266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14392192.post-67272814776680158022014-02-20T07:00:58.612-08:002014-02-20T07:00:58.612-08:00Hi Bruce,

But in addition, the NT scholar does not want to have to admit that his own profession was so thoroughly hoodwinked by the Immanuel coverup for such a great length of time.Jim Deardorffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04517653430586348063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14392192.post-20578726005268650462014-02-20T02:59:56.428-08:002014-02-20T02:59:56.428-08:00The phrase "cognitive dissonance" comes ...The phrase "cognitive dissonance" comes to mind:<br /><br />http://www.merriam-webster.com/concise/cognitive%20dissonance<br /><br />"Mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The concept was introduced by the psychologist Leon Festinger (1919–89) in the late 1950s. He and later researchers showed that, when confronted with challenging new information, most people seek to preserve their current understanding of the world by rejecting, explaining away, or avoiding the new information or by convincing themselves that no conflict really exists. Cognitive dissonance is nonetheless considered an explanation for attitude change."Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578947287312584266noreply@blogger.com
