Adam,
Just get yourself a %(($% education, willya? This question is simply too stupid to be taken seriously, and I simply can't believe you're willing to even consider the possibility that Iesous was pronounced ee'aye-sous in Greek (a double vocal like the one you find in e.g. "Ba'al", but you will not find it in Greek!).
Since Stafford and Furuli and possibly yourself are on B-GREEK, why not post the question to B-GREEK: "how many syllables in Iesous?" (The whole idea about diphthongs is a massive red herring that I've already explained.)
And, Adam, quit being such a dishonest debater. I have told you to deal with the large, substantial message I posted, the one before
that and the messsages from RealJW, Ginny and others. You have consistently claimed I didn't post arguments, and when I refer to these messages, you just ignore the reference, pretend they don't exist, and in the next message you keep
repeating your claim that I never posted anything!
