[Ruth 1:16] And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 430. 'elohiym (el-o-heem')gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative
[Ruth 1:17] Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.3068. Yhovah (yeh-ho-vaw')(the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Hebrew name of God
Most intelligent people would ask....."Why does Ruth use two different names for God in verses 16 and 17?" Most intelligent people then understand she wasn't speaking of God in verse 16.....but the translators were too ignorant in their interpretation to understand that. She was speaking of the judges who ruled in Israel at that time (verse 1)!
I'm not going to say you now know it also.....because I know you have already learned this from me. What I am going to say is......stop and really consider how silly your position actually is. There is absolutely no excuse for continued ignorance once you know the truth.
Ruth being a heathen Moabitess women is a nice "touchy-feely" story for your Catholic/Protestant friends. If you wish to go along with this heresy and believe that The Lord allowed a pagan women to be in the direct lineage to his own Son, Our Messiah....then your future understanding of God's Holy Words are in much jeopardy. Like I said......"it's touchy-feely", but not scriptural!
Don't forget.....God rent the Kingdom of Israel in two for Solomon doing just the same thing you are accusing Boaz of doing.

LOL!
Here is someone who admits that doesn't read Hebrew telling translators who do, that they aren't 'smart enough' to translate the word correctly!
The fact is context tells you the correct translation of the word, and the context in both is God, not judges.
Now the fact is that Elohim is the word used for God in Gen.1:1 (Triune God), not judges.
Second, by calling God Jehovah (Lord) she was acknowledging a personal relationship with the God of the Hebrews, the God of Creation.
Any intelligent person would see that.

What you and your other B.I. buddies are a bunch of Bible wresting heretics who cannot even read a simple english sentence like John 19:25.
Anyone who could read that sentence in English and get four women out of it rather then 3 is almost illiterate-in English!
But you are going to come in and try to retranslate a translation and claim that those who actually know that language got it wrong!
What hubris!

Oh, it is scriptural and the fact is that the passage in Ruth 2:2 makes that very clear.
She was a Moabite and your anti-Christian B.I. lies cannot change that reality, even with your lame attempts at twisting the scripture!
Don't forget.....God rent the Kingdom of Israel in two for Solomon doing just the same thing you are accusing Boaz of doing.
Hey why don't you actually read the scripture!
Boaz took one wife, not a thousand.
Solomon's wife's kept their pagan religions, which Solomon actually adopted, including child sacrifice.
Ruth took the Israeli faith and thus, was considered part of the Hebrew faith.
Joseph also took a 'foreign' wife did he violate the covenant?
It was taking foreign wives that kept their false religion that was condemned, not taking wives, who would follow the correct faith.
Your knowledge of the Bible is so poor as to be considered laughable if it weren't for the fact that you actually consider yourself some kind of bible 'scholar'.
You are just a scorner 2. A scoffer; a derider; in Scripture, one who scoffs at religion, its ordinances and teachers,
You scorn Christianity and its truths, which are based on what the Bible actually teaches on the Trinity, Grace, the Eternal Punishment for the Lost, and the unconditional promises to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the 12 tribes of Israel.
You have the colossal arrogance to think you are smart enough to change any scripture by running to a Strongs dictionary to find an 'alternative' reading, when it will help you undermine any Christian Doctrine that doesn't fit into the cultic B.I. movement.
the scorner is an abomination to men (Pr.24:9)
