Hi Iris & Suzie,

Rereading the articles, emails and some threads can really open our eyes to so much spiritual treasure as long as we are verifying and searching the scriptures along side with them, I can't tell you how many eye opening moments  :o I have had as I have read the verses provided that back a particular point and then get led to incredible unrelated knowledge of our God.

His Peace to you,

Joe

Thanks for the post Joe,

My next door neighbor & friends have been spending time with a group called the "Twelve Tribes" don't know if you've heard of them?  They are a commune group with places all over the world that has adopted allot of the  OT ways, and also is big on the use of "Yahshua"  (They are trying to live the book of ACTs)  I've met them also, they are truly delightful people.

My neighbor commented to me "Don't you think that Jesus would pay more attention if you use his correct name"?  I responded back that I didn't believe God has an Ego like people do, and listens to all whom call on him!It's interesting to know Jesus Hebrew name, but not as enlightening as the mistranslation of the Greek words for "forever".  I learned even more from reading Rays email.

Hey Carol what does SDA stand for???

Hey Brenda,

SDA stands for Seventh Day Adventist. One of my very closest friends was an SDA and we had plenty of discussions in email that got pretty heated occasionally until we both gave up trying to change the other. But for all her false beliefs she was a true seeker of Christ and one of the kindest, wisest women I've ever known.

She was a huge propenent of the SDA's belief in vegetarianism and through her website counseled on the use of soy insteads of meat. She died a few months ago of breast cancer at the age of 52. She was always arguing that it was the introduction of meat after Noah that shortened the lifespan of man. Ironic isn't it.

I was always telling her that soy was connected to breast cancer. Too much estrogen.

I loved her dearly and miss her all the time. She truly loved Christ in the best way she knew how and wanted nothing more than to lovingly share Him and seek Him. Now I met some of her fellow SDA's though and I would not be quite so complimentary of all of them. One told me that no meat-eaters would ever be allowed to go to heaven.

That was right after my kids and I had snuck off for a hamburger during a Sabbath sojourn to the San Diego beach.

It always seemed to me that if the SDA's were going to make that argument about meat shortening lifespans then they should all be living hundreds of years. They don't.

My friend was greatly deceived by the legacy of Ellen White and at the same time, one of the most sincere believers in Christ I have ever known.

In some cases, this whole Babylon thing is SO confusing.

Thanks Carol,

I've heard of Seventh Day Adventist, but I have no understanding of their doctrine.  That's a new one on me about vegetarianism.  ???  ::)  That strikes me as bizarre, as does our belief to those in Babylon.  I'm so sorry you lost your friend.  And Praise God...........That's not the end of her Story!!! ;D
I am so grateful to be set free from the sorrow of our Loved Ones Being Tortured for all Eternity in Hell! (Me Included)

Thanks for taking the time to share with me,  I'm certainly going to be aware of Soy from now on.   I just looked at a protein drink I was drinking and it has a Soy/Whey Blend...uh oh........ 52 is much to young!

Sending a Hug Your Way!

But "Lord" is "Yehovah/Yehwah/Jehovah" in Hebrew, yet you say "Yahweh is the NAME OF GOD" whereas the Scripture says "Praise the name OF the Lord," not "Praise the NAME LORD."

Actually Psalm 113:1 in Hebrew is:

א  הַלְלוּ-יָהּ:
הַלְלוּ, עַבְדֵי יְהוָה;    הַלְלוּ, אֶת-שֵׁם יְהוָה.     Hallelujah. {N}
Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. (1917 JPS Translation of the Masoretic Text)

Which translated properly reads in English, "Hallelujah, Praise you servants of Yahveh, Praise the name of Yahveh.

The use of the word Adonai, (Master or Lord) where יְהוָה (Yahveh) appears in Scripture  came into use after the Babylonian captivity as a
fence to the Scriptures to prevent bringing the name of Yahveh our Elohim to naught, (Third Commandment).  Lord is not Hebrew for Yahveh.  The Scripture is not translated correctly by the Jewish Publication Society or the other English translators.  The Hebrew above is correct.

Personally, I use Yahveh and Yeshua because that is the way I have been led by the Spirit of Yahveh and for me eliminates much confusion. Also, these are what I am comfortable with. How can you speak the difference between LORD, (substitution for Yahveh) and Lord substitution for Yeshua and lord for other people of authority.  Personally I do not let these differences get between my fellowshipping with other believers in the truth of the Scriptures who use the words God, Lord or Jesus.
