I was certain I am.

Until now, You didn't give any reference, link or whatever. Apparently You are not able to give any reference.


gdemetz wrote:You stated that the name Elias doesn't exist outside of the English and the KJV. However, according to Wikipedia:
Elias Icelandic
Elias HUNGARIAN
Elias Spanish
Elias Czech
Elias Portuguese
Elias Persian
Eliasz Polish
Elis Swedish
Eliyahu Hebrew

1. Elis, Eliasz, Elías(Spanish), Elía(Icelandic) and Eliyahu are not Elias.
2. This Wikipedia entry lists all VARIANTS of the same name.
3. Only the KJV English is that stupid, that make difference of Elijah and Elias - which are VARIANTS of the same name.
4. Persian?
Please show me the name Elias here:

Didn't You used the Qazvini dialect? I am sorry, I don't know others.

What passages above? I don't see one! Wikipedia, maybe? Nothing to do with JtB.
If I had a friend who is very good in English, he could explain to me what You mean with this sentence... Or can Your invisible reference pages help ?

Yes, Ludwigm, Wikipedia. The passage or quote which clearly shows the Joseph Smith knew the name could apply generally to other people who weren't even named that is on my March 23 10:59 AM post above.

1. This topic was started on 2012.04.26. Apr 26. 26th April. No post on March 23
2. This is the link to the first post.

Do You know what does LINK mean?
I don't ask if You can use it, because You can not.

Here on this forum there is a feature called "quote".
I don't ask if You can use it, because You can not.
(I've used it twice only in this post.)


*****************************************
The names "Elias" and "Elijah" in the English KJV Bible are simply two different name for the same person.
