If we consider how Jesus spoke about God and how all the Apostles spoke about God, this idea is right in line with their practice. HaShem is a circumlocution. Nothing more. When an observant Jew is in the synagogue they will pray using "Adonai" when they are outside the synagogue speaking about...

Thank you! I will have to study this a bit. I can already see that my understanding is definitely different than yours on several things, but I'm interested to dig into your viewpoint a little. Specifically, I really struggle anytime someone suggests that anything is "new" in these mysteries...

Thank you! I will study through these verses to see what all I find. The Matthew 24 verse Thank you! I will work on these verses within this context. I have pretty much determined that Matthew 24:40 is the absolute *worst* text to use for this theology. I have heard this one used too often...

I truly never expected someone to drop and Enoch quote! Fascinating. Thank you!

This is a response I never expected to read/hear from a student of a Scripture. I will flatly disagree with you. Looking for proof in Scripture, the only written source of truth, is literally the foundation of the faith. To say it is a poor study of theology is like saying a microscope is a...

Hi all! Google doesn't seem to want to give me a list of proof-texts that are used to show the rapture in Scripture. I'm researching it trying to understand the theology behind it more. Can you all share the proof verses you know about within Scripture? Surely the entire theology has not...

Without reading through every else's comments on this, I'll answer the original posters question. If we as a body that believes in the Master Yeshua (Jesus) would simply return to His ways and quit trying to find our own path, quit making up our own creeds, statements of faith, "comfortable"...

Hello! My congregation rents a church that uses Mediashout 4. Some of my leadership has expressed a desire to create slides from home that we can then import into Mediashout. So - A. Is that possible? B. What open source software would be best and easiest to use for this purpose? We would...

There is so much confusion in the church. We all listen to our pastors and other lay people more than we study the ENTIRE Word of God. It's quite frustrating to me. We seem to try and make Yeshua and God the Father and the Holy Spirit into completely separate beings. They are ONE!!! When...

I have a strange stance on this myself. I agree that the Catholic church, guided by the Holy Spirit, had a hand in directing the final product that we now recognize as the complete Bible - Genesis to Revelation. Although, we are told that God uses all things for the good of those who love Him -...

Sibyl - I'm not so sure you're one of the faithful. Either that or I'm just completely misunderstanding your entire response. Perhaps you forgot to indicate that you were being sarcastic? That's my hope, but I'll reply to what you said anyway. You seem to be questioning everything regarding...

Perhaps it will help you to settle this matter by looking into the original language? The name our Messiah was given by His mother, as it was spoken by those that actually knew Him, would have been "Yeshua". So take a look at Isaiah 12:2 "Behold, God is my [Yeshua]; I will trust, and will...

How much do you learn about God from your marriage? How about from your other important relationships? There are some incredible things you can learn by simply paying attention. I got married a few years ago to my beautiful wife who has turned out to be the single biggest blessing in my life –...

I agree! HIS WAYS are outlined from Genesis to Revelation and yet we decide HIS WAYS changed when he specifically says they won't. #faithofconvenience

My search isn't turning anything up. I see Col 2:14 which is saying the "record of debt" was nailed to the cross. Can you please direct me to the text reference so I may read where it says the "law" was nailed to the cross? I want to read everything around it to see what we (as a faith group)...
