Yes, but we must also realize that God is a God of love, and he loves justice as well. He is not some squishy God, he is a wrathful, just judge of all the world. So God could be angry at sin, and still be a God of love.jamestheprophet - let he who is without sin cast the first stone- - -you are without sin?
CHRIST THE MESSIAH WAS WITHOUT SIN!!! Yet He did not cast the first stone at anyone. He loved and forgave, He showed kindness...He is the Alpha and Omege, the same now as in the begining. He loved without thought then, He threw NO STONES, He took refuge with sinners. This Christ and Father you speak of appears to be full of anger, the WORD showed us only a Christ of love.
God Bless
Sorry about that. I missed it is all. The simple truth is I am only relaying a message from my Heavenly Father and my Brother Yeshua. They are extremely offended by both Christmas and Easter since they are both satanic high days (Holidays). We have been given the date of his birth and we know exactly when he died. He was born during the feast of Tabernacles and he died on the first day of Passover. He rose from the dead on the third day of Passover. Therefore we have absolutely no business partaking in any satanic ritual. None whatsoever.
The common Jews of Yeshua’s day could not speak, read or write Greek neither could the common Roman. The common Roman only knew Latin. That is why the first Bible was translated into Latin. Greek was a language used by the educated elite such as Paul and not the common man. Acts the 4 Chapter the 14 verse clearly states that the disciples were unlearned and ignorant men. They only know Hebrew. Yeshua taught the people in the language they understood which was Hebrew.
Writings from that time period discovered in Israel have been written in Hebrew. The Dead Sea scrolls (Hebrew: מגילות ים המלח) comprise roughly 825-872 documents, including texts from the Hebrew Bible. Most all of the original writing by the first disciples were actually written and recorded in Hebrew then translated later into Greek or Latin depending on who did the translating and when it was first translated. Then in the 14th Century the Bible was translated from Latin into English by John Wycliffe.
Despite the number of different translation the Bible as we know it today is still the exact same as the original Hebrew text with a few mistakes like names. In the Greek text of the Old Testament, translated around 280BC "IESOUS" is spelled Joshua (English) or Yeshua (Hebrew). "IESOUS" is translated in the New Testament to the word Jesus. Likewise Iakob translated in the Old Testament is Jacob and in the New Testament it is James. Yes it is the same with John and all of the other Disciples. Same Greek word with two entirely different translations one Old Testament and the other New Testament. James no matter when or where it was written it is still pronounces and spelled James throughout the English speaking world so the same must be true with Greek.
Since the 2 Testaments cannot agree we must go to the original Hebrew or Yeshua as the Lord’s proper and/or given name. I’m sure my friend Juan would answer me if every time I called himSi I called his name Cadillac or Buick or Eddy or George. His name is Juan. Well guess what the Lord’s name is Yeshua and yes he too gets upset when people do not address him by his name.
From bible.org:
Now it logically follows that if Jesus Christ lived (need it be said?), he must have been born. The Gospels tell us that his birth was shortly before Herod the Great died. Herod's death can be fixed with certainty.
Josephus records an eclipse of the moon just before Herod passed on. This occurred on March 12th or 13th in 4 B.C. Josephus also tells us that Herod expired just before Passover. This feast took place on April 11th, in the same year, 4 B.C. From other details supplied by Josephus, we can pinpoint Herod the Great's demise as occurring between March 29th and April 4th in 4 B.C.
It might sound strange to suggest that Jesus Christ was born no later than 4 B.C. since B.C. means 'before Christ.' But our modern calendar which splits time between B.C. and A.D. was not invented until A.D. 525. At that time, Pope John the First asked a monk named Dionysius to prepare a standardized calendar for the western Church. Unfortunately, poor Dionysius missed the real B.C./A.D. division by at least four years!
Now Matthew tells us that Herod killed Bethlehem's babies two years old and under. The earliest Jesus could have been born, therefore, is 6 B.C. Through a variety of other time indicators, we can be relatively confident that the one called Messiah was born in either late 5 or early 4 B.C.
The Latin Vulgate NT was translated from the Greek, not the Hebrew.
IIRC, Jerome translated the NT from the Greek (since that is what it was written in). He translated the OT from the Hebrew, although he did consult the Septuagint in doing so.
I could be wrong about that though.
I have placed James on my IGNORE list, and I would advise others to do the same. More for his sake than anyone else, because James needs a better outlet for his zeal than what he is pursuing now.
James is not a troll, but his posts often create a similar reaction from everyone. Let's consider what is best for his spiritual health as well as our own.
I am still interested in why he does not use the name for Christ that the apostles used. And they were Jewish.
I have asked twice but to no avail.
I believe you are right. Though there are ancient texts referred to as the old vulgate.

This is my theory (and it is only a theory).
Almost all of our written history of the early Church comes from the Greek speaking Diaspora. In that group, personal names would be Grecianized. So in our written records, we see a Grecianized version of Y'shua.
John P. Maier devotes a couple of pages to the question of the "actual" name of Jesus in Vol. 1 of "A Marginal Jew."
Rhamiel – It is very simple Easter and Christmas are both lies of Satan. Neither of then has anything to do with the Lord's birth, life, crucifixion, death or resurrection. They are lies plain and simple.
As far as tithing. If We as individuals are the Only TRUE Church and if it is true that our churches are Satanic temples where should we be paying our tithes? Certainly not to Satan’s Temples of ungodliness!
Give and it shall be given unto you. Pressed down shaken together and running over shall men give unto your bosom.
Is it possible that when we pay our tithes to Satan that we are actually robbing from our brothers and sisters? And more importantly from ourselves and our own families? God’s true Storehouse.
Our Father love to reward His Children. He can only reward us when we are obedient to him. He says for us to give and what do we do. We give all right. We let some fancy dan preacherman talk us into giving to his church where he uses God’s money for his own private purposes. There have been many a time the Lord has sent me to a church asking for help and have been flatly turned away still in need. I wiped the dirt from my shoes as I walked out of the church.
Oh yea for some of your information. I have been incarcerated for witnessing to people on the streets and for baptizing students during Spring Break in the ocean.
I do not have a paper from some preacher factory saying that I am able to witness (Preach) or baptize. I have had people curse at me and toss their garbage at me from their cars as I was witnessing to people.
Once while I was awaiting trial on a false charge I was able to witness the Lord Yeshua reach down into that jail cell and save a young man who was contemplating taking his own life. Another time, several months later, I saw the Lord Yeshua heal several people in another jail cell I was being held in. So I know that no matter where a person is sent that the Lord Yeshua has a purpose for them to be there.
The Lord Yeshua told me that the world hates Him. How much more is the world going to hate me whom he has sent into the world in His Name?
However I do not have to worry about pleasing men or appeasing men. I do what the Lord tells me to do in spite of what any man or woman many think of say.
My Heavenly Father says Easter and Christmas are satanic celebrations and that is all I really need to know.
My Heavenly Father tells me to warn others about Easter and Christmas so they may not burn in the Lake of Fire or go to that place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth and I do not hesitate to warn them.
If they listen then I have gained a brother or a sister. However if they refuse to listen and just want to argue then they have lost everything including their very life.
Theophorus That is not entirely true.
Having completed his Temple service on the third Sabbath of Sivan, Zacharias returned home and soon conceived his son John. So John the Baptist was conceived shortly after the third Sabbath of the month of Sivan (First week of June). http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/sukkoth.htm John was born during Passover. Mary conceived the Lord Yeshua six months later or around the first week of November and delivered the Lord Yeshua 40 weeks later in September during festival of Tabernacles. The Bible says she carried him full term.
Likewise the bible is very specific as to when he was crucified and died, the first day of Passover and when, he was resurrected three days later on the third day of Passover.
Christmas is the satanic high day for the birth of the sun or the Winter Solstice and Easter is a satanic fertility ritual. Neither of which has anything to do with the Lord’s Birth, Death or Resurrection.
The Church has redeemed the time these celebrations occur in. They Church took these times back from the kingdom of darkness and made them solidly part of the kingdom of light. They have been redeemed.
Any voice that speaks differently is not from heaven . . . . . .

To take what once belonged to Satan and redeem it by creating a Christian celebration in its place is a marvolous thing. Redeeming the time by creating a Christian celebration does not make the Christian celebration and Church any more Satanic than your own redemption makes you or the Church satanic. . . .

the winter and spring solstice is still celebrated by several religions not of God, so how does christianity redeem that which is still satan's? what is satan's belongs to satan. what is God's belongs to God. you cannot take what is unclean [satan's] and "redeem" it to make it God's [clean]. The Scripture is clear, the unclean makes the clean, unclean. The only exception is the souls of men, by which we are redeemed/purchased by the blood of Christ and translated from darkness into His glorious Light.
could you also provide scriptural proof that the church can or did redeem things from the kingdom of darkness and turn them into the kingdom of light?
ps: christmas and easter are man made celebrations. they have nothing to do with God - He is not the Author of them. they were created by man to worship God and if you chose to celebrate that is your decision, but these celebrations do not belong to God. They belong to man.

thanx
