    Dear Kevin,

    Your response actually proved my point, but you don't yet realize it.

    >As to Jerusalem it's also wrong. It's Yerusalayim.

    I thought you would say that and my point in my last comment is that your new word is wrong. The reason is that it's still not in Hebrew or Greek. Hebrew uses the Jewish script and is a different word than what you've written. You can use Google Translate to see for yourself or just research the language. English uses Roman/Latin characters and you're thinking a word is wrong when it isn't then attempting to only partly translate it back to a language while still keeping your own familiar characters. Someone could call what you did there 'false'.

    >The letter J was only invented 400 years ago making it impossible for the English name Jesus to be the Hebrew name of the Messiah.

    Why would a name in one language ever be the same in another language with a different alphabet? Jesus is the correctly translated name into English. The word Jesus is a different word in each language such as using the Hebrew or Greek alphabet. What you assume is the 'real word' in Roman / Latin characters is still incorrect because you're not using the right alphabet. If you actually want to say/read Jesus's name in the original languages you would actually need to learn to read/write ancient Greek and Hebrew. You can see what it looks like on this site: Link

    very good chapter luke chapter six :) :)
  • Chris - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 7:15 - 5 years ago
    Jesse, thanks for your comments; they are appreciated knowing of course, no two people can agree on everything, especially when dealing with such matters which also must include our own experiences in life being factored in.

    Yes, I agree that God's forgiveness is paramount here, or else, as the disciples enquired of the Lord, "who then can be saved?" ( Mt 19:25), when enquiring about who could get to Heaven. However, when as Christians we commit a single, maybe isolated sin, we find instantaneous conviction & hopefully take the needed action. I wonder how it would work if one, who knows that an adulterous relationship is about to be entered into, or for that matter, any sin (e.g. a union with someone in something illegal or a lifestyle that is tainted with things which God would frown upon), that the long term effects would be something one would have to live with (or else, break off), & then would he/she have to come daily before the Lord for forgiveness?

    I would find that so burdensome & hypocritical, that it could be more than I could bear. And to state, & I believe if I give some opinion/determination on some matter, then I must needs perform it in my life. If I had to face the awful prospect of an unhappy marriage & divorce, would I then be able to practise what I instruct others from the Word? If this happened in my marriage, yes, I would then need to remain single for the rest of my days but I would also know the Spirit's Help & sustaining through it. How important for believers to weigh up every matter in their lives before the Lord before deciding & pursuing it. It is often better to show restraint, than to 'rush the Hand of God' in something we feel is right & from the Lord. I guess, 'easier said than done'. May He give us more of His Grace.

    2020 pestilences - the world is calling the coronavirus. We are living in the end of days. I pray we all will be ready for JESUS return. Accept the LORD JESUS CHRIST into your heart while there is still time.
  • Chris - In Reply on Daniel 10 - 5 years ago
    Paul, I'm unsure where you want to take this line of enquiry, but to attempt an answer: as mentioned, God is Spirit, but He is also the Creator of all things, including natural & physical laws. Re: is God Energy? If by this you mean that He expends energy in His Being or in His Activity, then as a mere human with limitations in understanding & revelation, I would say, No.

    In man's understanding, Energy can be divided into fourteen types, or more, which includes mechanical, electrical, magnetic, gravitational, nuclear, thermal, sound wave to name a few. If we try to fit God's Being into any of these types, we will always fail, as God is God & is not subject to any limitations or production of energy. One could argue that since He is Light or that when He speaks or moves, then surely energy must be evident & expended. The error here is that all energy that is produced, is dependent on either mass or existence of matter/particles that lead to energy's production. And God does not fulfil any of these requirements, simply because He is Spirit, the Invisible God (to our eyes), & not subject to the laws that are a part of His Creation & to which we mere earthlings are subject to.
  • Mr Kevin Belgrove - In Reply on John 5:43 - 5 years ago
    Shalom Bob,

    Yes I agree the name Jew never existed until at least 400 years ago.

    Just like Yahuah, who name his son, with his own name Yahusha, he also name his chosen people after himself, they are called Yahudim.

    Yahuah also name the land where they lived after his own name Yahudah. Not Judah.

    Matthew is also wrong, as Yahuah also name him with his own name within his correct name - Mattithyahu.

    You are only reading the name Jesus because that's what Christian Bible all say.

    No the New Testament was not written in Greek it was translated from Hebrew into Greek and it was this translation where they CHANGED Yahusha to IESOUS then more recently changed IESOUS to Jesus.

    Yeshua is also incorrect, so no I am not of "this Yeshua group" as you put it.

    You have taken Titus 1:14 out of context so I want bother with that.

    Do you really think that your Jesus really spoke to the Hebrews in Greek? REALY!

    Anyway Yahuah only loves those who call upon his name and the name of his son Yahusha.

    Prov 8:17 I love those who love me.
  • Jesse - In Reply on 1 Timothy 5:12 - 5 years ago
    Bob, are you asking about 1 Timothy 5:12?

    That verse has to be taken in context beginning at Verse 3 and going to Verse 16. It is Paul's instruction concerning widows in the church. There is a lot of information in these verses, and we would take those verses in context to understand Verse 12.

    Verse 12 says "Having damnation, literally judgment, because they have cast off their first faith. In context, I think what Paul is saying in this chapter is that all people, husbands and wives, they are stuck in a situation where they must either please the wife, please the husband, or please the Lord. It's like what if we know what the Lord wants us to do, but we can't because the other person says "If you do that, I'll throw this lamp and hit you over the head with it!" What do you do?

    As far as carnal goes, do you know that a believer can be carnal and it be perfectly normal? There is a normal carnal, and an abnormal carnal that can be applied to a believer in Christ. And since I don't believe salvation can be lost, I would have to say no to your question of them losing their salvation.
  • Mr Kevin Belgrove - In Reply on John 5:43 - 5 years ago
    Shalom Adam,

    I don't know where you got your information from but it's not correct.

    If you read a bible for yourself then you may start to gain some insight, knowledge and understanding?

    The Bible is very clear about salvation being conditional upon using the correct names.

    The KJV doesn't ever tell you "the Lords" name?

    No his name is not "the Lord" nor is it "God"

    If you bother to read a bible then you will see for yourself that we are commanded to call upon His name. "Yahuah"

    As to Jerusalem it's also wrong.

    It's Yerusalayim.

    Once again;

    Acts 4:10-12

    10then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the NAME of Yahusha

    of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom Yahuah raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

    11Yahusha is the stone you builders rejected,which has become the cornerstone.'

    12Salvation is found in no one else, for there is NO OTHER NAME under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."

    The letter J was only invented 400 years ago making it impossible for the English name Jesus to be the Hebrew name of the Messiah.

    Christian Bibles use the false name Jesus Christ.

    Acts 4:10-12

    10then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the NAME of Yahusha

    of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom Yahuah raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

    11Yahusha is the stone you builders rejected,which has become the cornerstone.'

    12Salvation is found in no one else, for there is NO OTHER NAME under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."

    The letter J was only invented 400 years ago making it impossible for the English name Jesus to be the Hebrew name of the Messiah.

    Christian Bibles use the false name Jesus Christ.

    If you don't get it, that's ok.

    Yahuah only wants those who call upon His name-Yahuah and His sons name Yahusha.
  • Jesse - In Reply on Ephesians 4:5 - 5 years ago
    Paul , I think we might be disconnecting somehow and I'm probably not being clear in response. If so, I apologize for that. There are two baptisms, one physical (Human), and one from God (Spiritual). Only one is for salvation, and the other would be for public record, as a testimony of salvation.

    1 Peter 3:21 is not referring to water baptism. Peter is quick to tell us that he's not talking about water baptism. Peter says (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God). Your conscience is clear, and you're living as He would have you to do. And then it says by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. More literally, it is through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    That gives us the key because it says whereunto even baptism now saves us through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So he's talking about Spirit baptism. It's the only one in the bible that says it is necessary for salvation.

    Paul in 1 Corinthians 12:13 says for by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, bond or free, and we have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

    When John the Baptist introduced Jesus as Messiah to Israel, he said that the Messiah's ministry would be the baptism of Spirit and fire.

    Remember, baptism denotes two things, 1) Cleansing. If you are Spirit baptized, that is, when Christ comes into your spirit at salvation, your spirit is purified, cleansed of your sin. 2) Identification. It was more so in Paul's day than in ours. Whatever group you're going into, you get baptized. It shows that you're joining the group. But especially for Hebrew and Jewish people in Jerusalem that surrendered their life to Christ as their Messiah and Savior, they get baptized right there in Jerusalem, right in front of all the other Hebrew and Jewish people to show their identification.

    If you are asking me if you should be water baptized, I would ask what is the Lord leading you to do. That would be the answer!
  • Adam - In Reply on John 5:43 - 5 years ago
    Hi Kevin, Jesus is the name in English since we speak English and the KJV is an English Bible.

    One could argue that the word 'Yahusha' is actually false, because you're attempting to use an incompletely translated name using English characters. If you spoke Hebrew you would speak and write that word differently, and not just any Hebrew, but it would have to be old, ancient Hebrew. Also, since the New Testament is in Greek, to be precise you would need to learn the exact Greek dialect at the time of Jesus in order to pronounce and write Jesus's name properly. Otherwise it's 'false teaching'? The point is that it's normal for each language to have the words translated. It would be a logical fallacy to assume that because J in English wasn't made until later that the city of Jerusalem doesn't exist, for example, or that it's not called Jerusalem. Should we be upset that the United States of America is also translated into each language too, like in Hebrew- so are they lying by calling us that in their own language? Just challenging the assumptions about language. Jesus is the name in English.
  • Adam - In Reply on Luke 3:37 - 5 years ago
    'Son of God' is a metaphor in this verse as Adam wasn't born, he was created by God, Genesis 2:7. You can say God is metaphorically his father as he has no other father or mother. The actual son of God is Jesus who is also God. John 14:11

  • Jesse - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 5:11 - 5 years ago
    Hello Adam, me again!

    When I read Silvia's post and see her opening statement, I don't see where she is referring to all churches, unless you think the phrase "The church" is referring to denominational church organizations. When I see the phrase the church, I think of the body of Christ in general. I kind of agree with what she is saying. These things are in the body of Christ today. The sad part is that we in the body of Christ let it happen.

    These things are in our churches, and many pastors are afraid to do anything about it because they can be sued for removing someone from their church because our churches have been made public. The early church was private. They met in homes. And they wouldn't even open the door and let you in if you didn't have the proper testimony. That's the way I wish the church was today. So if there is evil in the "church," and someone is removed, which they should be removed according to the bible, that person can turn around and sue that church. And in today's society, they would win that lawsuit.

    It's nice to see you here reading and sharing your thoughts with other believers. On that note, I spent most of my morning a few days ago responding to the several questions you had specifically for me, and in turn, I suggested that you might be fair in answering those I sent to you. Please, if you have the time, can you answer those questions I sent to you. If you didn't get them, I can re-send.
  • Bob Hilt - In Reply on John 5:43 - 5 years ago
    So since the letter J is a recent thing and that the name Jesus could not exist. I suppose NO J in Jesus means that

    JJJJ Jews do not exist either?

    these Yeshua group are basically DENYING the King James Bible.

    Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

    Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

    The angel Gabriel told Mary to name him Jesus, not Yeshu which is a curse Jews say may his name be blotted out from under heaven.

    Luke 1: 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

    27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

    28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

    29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

    30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

    31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

    32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

    33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

    So do we believe the Bible or Jewish fables that the New Testament Bible was originally Hebrew and mistranslated by those pagan anti-Semitic Greeks?

    Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

    Bible book Song of Solomon 5:10 - My beloved is WHITE white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.

    Bible book Lamentations 4:7 - Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were WHITER whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:

    Revelation 1:14 - His (Jesus) HEAD and his hairs were WHITE white like wool, as WHITE white as SNOW; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass,

    (Brass is made of copper which is REDDISH GOLDEN BROWN, not black) as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.



    Who generally printed the Bibles and built all the churches?

    Sub Sahara Africa? NO

    Asia? NOT until recently

    Europe and the USA = Yes

    Many "black Hebrews" claim whites are the children of the devil via Esau and the Canaanites via the Hittites.

    Some even advocate the killing of whites to fulfill the command of the Lord to kill the Canaanites

    Genesis 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau..

    Genesis 26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:

    Deuteronomy 20:17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:

    John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

    Luke 22:36 Then said he (Jesus) unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

    Look into this I am not making this up.

    Greetings, NO there is no Hercules in the Bible. That was a Greek myth of when the gods came down from heaven and found mortal woman beautiful and married them. (shades of Genesis 6?) Hercules would have been only half human.

    Samson however was in the Bible and he had extraordinary strength. He was a judge in Israel in the time before Israel had kings.

    Judges 14:1 records the start of the exploits of Samson and tells of his victory and failures.
  • Jesse - In Reply on Ephesians 4:5 - 5 years ago
    Larry, thank you for your kind and encouraging words, and also for the blessing. I send it right back to you. It is a fascinating study if you ever get a chance to research on-line Jewish baptisms, and how it differs from the way we baptize today. In Jesus' day, the person doing the baptizing didn't go in the water at all. So when John baptized Jesus, Jesus would have gone in the water alone. John was only there as a witness. But the person being baptized went in the water alone and they had to fully submerse themselves. If the witness would see just one hair not going completely under, that person would have to do it over again. But it is a fascinating study, along with reading Jewish lifestyles and practices, and how it parallels to the things Jesus presented during His earthly ministry.

  • Jesse - In Reply on Ephesians 4:5 - 5 years ago
    Hi Paul, my answer would remain the same if we are asking if water baptism is a necessity for salvation. I would still say it is not necessary because water baptism comes after salvation.

    I believe a person who is saved can go their entire life not being water baptized and still remain saved. We know from scripture that Jesus told the thief on the cross next to Him that today you will be with me in paradise. There is no biblical evidence showing that he was water baptized.

    Now, is it a necessity after salvation? I think water baptism is very important for a believer. The early church seemed to see it as being important. The Jews ceremoniously baptized everything, pots and pans, dishes, etc. I think it is important to understand what water baptism represented to the Jews, and also to the early church. It represented two things: cleansing (not salvation), and also identification.

    Being water baptized is required in a lot of churches in order to become a member of that particular group. Again, it represents your identification with that group of believers. But the most important representation of water baptism would be your identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That's who we identify with in baptism, and that is our testimony to those who are there as witnesses that we are identifying with Jesus Christ. The water baptism is a Physical outward expression of an inward Spiritual change. I believe it is a necessary part of a believer's life, but not required for salvation.

  • Adam - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 5:11 - 5 years ago
    Hi Silva, which church does this- the one you attend? Or do you believe all people in all churches act that way?

    In decades of attending a variety of churches I never encountered a 'church' claiming that it's ok to get divorced without reason or cheat on your spouse. The Bible allows circumstances to end the marriage in cases of abuse or violation of the covenant like cheating. So, I don't believe the premise that every 'church' thinks one way toward hetero sin and another toward homo sin. All sin is bad and we are to avoid sin. Link

  • Adam - In Reply on Isaiah 43:11 - 5 years ago
    Sin and evil abound today. Satan wants people to believe it doesn't exist since he loves deceiving people into sinning and disobeying God. Jesus paid the debt of sin for everyone but it's up to each person to accept that gift. Even thought the debt is paid doesn't mean people aren't still sinning. Today in every major city through the world there will be violence, rape, and murder. That is both evil and sin. To claim those unspeakable acts aren't sin is inconsistent with the Bible. Have a nice day.
  • Adam - In Reply on Galatians 3:13 - 5 years ago
    Hi Tatenda,

    God doesn't promise us an easy life. I believe it's challenging for everyone and in different ways. I also believe that it is a test of our character. We all make mistakes and sin, but I believe should strive for good character and love- that of Jesus. This page shows verses on trials: Link - There are prominent characters in the Bible who have endured many trials, like Job, Moses, Paul. 2 Cor 12:10 talks about Paul learning the secret of being content, despite his hard circumstances. Phil 4:12-13. May God bless you!

    14-21 above, also in 2020, those who sought JESUS was shown the POWER OF GOD through JESUS. Above, JESUS being a GOOD SHEPARD knew /knows the need of them seeking JESUS. JESUS recognize the seeker's need and miraculously make the impossible to be possible for those who reached out and sought JESUS. JESUS being a GOOD SHEPARD both healed and fed them and us in 2020. Like the above John 3:16-21 guides those who seek JESUS, guiding us to the same POWER above. This same POWER has been made available to us in 2020, especially those who seek SALVATION through JESUS and not forgetting healing and feeding. John 3:16-21 guides all seekers to the power of SALVATION thereby we avoid the lake of fire.
  • Jesse - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 7:15 - 5 years ago
    Chris, thank you so much for your perspective. I guess I'm still on the fence with this one. My understanding is that God hates divorce. Therefore, it should be avoided at all costs. You touch on some key things, and I think forgiveness is most important. I think of so many different variables when it comes to divorce, and then about the one thing where God allows it and I guess that is why in my mind I am not fully persuaded yet about remarriage. I don't disagree with anything you are saying. I mean, how could I disagree, if I can't even agree with myself yet! I understood your dots. As soon as I saw the word fornication, the Greek word popped in my mind. I've actually learned to read Koine Greek over the years. I do have a copy of the Textus Receptus, which I enjoy reading from on occasion.
