  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Shalom friends, I need to know the Messianic names in which we use.

I know that Yeshua is Jesus in Hebrew, but what do we call G-D. I know it is Shema, which is Hebrew for "the name" (or is it?), but I have seen him called HaShema, or some letters like YHVY. Can someboady let me in on the lingo that we use, because I am lost!

There's also his name which is usually transliterated as YHWH, which stands for the letters yod-he-waw-he. It appears to be a Hebrew/Aramaic combination of the 3rd person singular of the verb "to be" making it in translation: "He will be." It is his personal name forever, which is to be praised!

Peace!

Both HaShem and Adonay are substitutions to avoid saying the tetragrammaton, the four letter memorial name of God that Thadman wrote about. But Adonay also apears in the Tanakh as a name for God. Hashem is usually used in study and discussion and Adonay in prayer and worship. A combination is also sometimes used - Adoshem.

Then there are the names found the Amidah, for example:

Eloheynu = Our God
Elohey avoteynu = The God of our Fathers
Elohey Avraham = The God of Abraham
Elohey Yitsachaq = The God of Isaac
Elohey Ya`aqov = God of Jacob
Ha'el Hagadol Hagibor Hanorah = The great, mighty, and awesome God
El `elyon = The Supreme God
Qoneh Hakol = Master (owner) of All
Melekh,`ozer, umoshia`, umagen = King, Helper, Saviour, and Shield
Magen Avraham = Shield of Abraham
Ba`al Gevurot = Master of Mighty Deeds
Ha'el Haqadosh = The Holy God
