  • 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.

Or the Tetragrammaton - the four letters. However, if you look closely, the name is consisting of three characters (charagma). To understand these, we need to look at the Tetramorph - The Ox, The Lion, the Eagle, the Angel

The Ox is Beholding the Beginning - the heaven and the earth (two horns)

The Lion is Beholding the Ending - the Reign of Christ

The Angel is Beholding the Face of God

The Eagle is Beholding the face of man

The Tetramorph can move in all of these directions - between the beginning and the ending, between God and man.

We know that the Name is above all names, so it is above the Tetramorph, but how is it superior?

The Charagma that is repeated in the Tetragrammaton means Behold. The other two mean Hand and Nail. The meaning doesn't change if we say Behold Hand Nail, but what has happened is that the Two have become One. This allows YHWH to not be constrained to time like the Cherubim, who, even if they are allowed to move freely along this axel, are still required to move along it.

When it comes to the other direction it is clear from the meaning of Hand and Nail, that just as He is Above the Cherubim, he is also Below man.

Another way to look at it, is not that the time axel in his Name is unified, but that it is greater to Behold the Hand and Behold the Nail, than anything that is between the Beginning and the Ending, between God and man. For Greater is the one that serves, and there can be noone Greater than YHWH.

This is not relevant to apostolic doctrine or Christian fellowship in the Spirit.
Perhaps there is a better forum for this type of discussion?
No offense intended, just suggesting that the forum may have a better place for such discussion.

Perhaps you could apply your knowledge to this portion of the Gospel for edification?
Matthew 22:
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?”
They said to Him, “The Son of David.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’?
45 If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?”
46 And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on
did anyone dare question Him anymore.

The Lord was addressing directly the substitution of Adonai for YHVH

"The Lord" is not "my Lord". "The Lord", actually, "The LORD", is the translation of YHWH - it is never substituted for "Lord" in the original, only substituted by the translators. "My Lord" however is literally Adonai, so that is not a translation error but a correct translation.

So what he is actually saying is, "YHWH says to my Lord".

I think what is touched upon here is that the Pharasees thought that the Christ would simply be an offspring of David - not God himself - they even mocked the idea of God dying while he was hanging on the cross ("let him save himself") - because to them, this was foolishness - they did not understand the message of the law, the prophets or His Name but worshipped their own image of God to the point where the Name not only didn't mean anything to them, but they forbade people to use it, calling it "taboo".
