why is it that everywhere i turn there is a stumbling block. i could go crazy with all the different point of views and translations and this and that etc etc. has anyone ever had more than one mentor that each teach something different but the same? how do i hold fast on truth when being yanked all over?
I will pray that God settles you, Kenneth!
It's not easy to let go of what very may be an idol of our heart. I know.
If the shoe were on the other foot and Ray came back and said the Name of God is Jehovah I'd probably be a little sad, too, because I'm used to saying and hearing His Name as Jesus.
But I'm so glad it's Jesus and I'm not going to apologize for being happy. I love it! It's got a nice ring to it and it's got less syllables. (Score 2 points), and it's easier to spell (score another point), and it's easier to pronounce. (Score 100 points for that
).
I know that some take these things very seriously int their efforts to please God. And, I don't mean to sound flip about it; it's just that to me it's like, wow, why get all worked up over the "letter" when it's the Spirit that gives life? But that's easy for me to say, because I LOVE the name Jesus!
God will settle you Kenneth eventually, but it's going to take time. I hope you feel better soon, friend.
