• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

For some time, I was not able to fit together the character of Jesus, and the character of YHWH, and some do not, and you shall see, fail miserably.

Thus let me give you a clue.



As you can see, there are CLEARLY two names in the bush.

Muslims will never wrap their heads around this one. God can forgive by mere will alone? What if He simply chooses not to? What then will you say?

Thus the final revelation is revealed for those with eyes to see. The commandment, and the prophecy, that existed before the creation of the world:

Are there really two different names of God in the passage about the burning bush? As I understand it from bible dictionaries (I don't speak Hebrew), the name translated as "The Lord God" in verse 16 ([yeh-ho-vaw’) is firmly based on the name "I am" of verse 14 (hayah).

They are related, but it's obviously not the same name. Also to be Frank I AM is eh-yeh which is the first person singular of hayah. But YHWH is not a word that is used in a sentance, even if it sounds similar to hayah, and Eve to Chavah, it's their personal name.

So I am going to conclude that Jesus bore his Father's name (YAHSHUA), and he used his own name (I AM).
