No where does scripture say Jesus is the sabbath. He said he was lord of the Sabbath, and the sabbath was for man, he taught the correct way to keep it. Giving rest and the sabbth day is 2 different things. And we seen the apostles including Paul still observing the Sabbath along with the feast days. In the KJV marjin notes on Heb 4:9, you'll see "there remains a keeping of the sabbath", and the reason being, in that one verse, the greek word for rest is sabbatismos. The other verses in Heb. uses katapausis or katapauo for the word rest. |

Okay, what does it say in the Scriptures? Brothers and Sisters, be sure to point out to your brethren their sins when they do not observe the days and diet restrictions prescribed in the law so that you are to be their judge. Oh! NO! It doesn't say that at all, does it? What does it say then? "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" Col 2:16-17 Don't you realize that you are judging your brethren when you say it is a command for them to observe these things? Don't you realize you are being their judge because in affect you are saying they are sinning by not observing these things? In the "New" Covenant, the New Testament, we are commanded not to judge in regard to these things! Don't you realize that you, then, maybe are sinning? Lits read it again. "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" Col 2:16-17 John |

I am judging no one, I am only answering a question. I pointed that the 10 commandment were still being taught and oberved in the NT, along with the 7th day sabbath and the feast days were still being observed. So if that offends someone, I am sorry. |

Dear rakpak, If you say that the Sabbath and dietary restrictions are in affect and commanded for us to obey, then by implication and according to Col 2:16-17 you are indeed judging. And you sure aren't offending me my friend, but you are not showing respect for the Scriptures and what they actually teach. Just because some things are being 'observed' by some, does not mean we are commanded to observe them too. In the OT many had more then one wife, and were observing polygamy. Would you say because we see someone observing it in the scriptures or that some do that today, then would we say we should do that? There are many such examples of these kind of aberrant behaviors in the Scriptures, but that doesn't mean we are to follow them. If you would like to observe the Sabbath and dietary restrictions, there is nothing in the Scriptures that would prohibit you from doing that, so then, I would have nothing to say to you about it other then, God bless you. But if you tell me I'm not obeying the commandments of God by not doing it too, then by implication, and again according to Col 2:16-17 you are indeed judging me. So be careful that the Word itself doesn't judge you, my friend. John |

I do not recall telling you or anyone else they were not observing the commandments, as nobody has said one way or the other. Again I only gave scriptual support, from more than one source or one verse, what the Apostles continued to teach and observe in the NT. I still am amazed that you keep insisting I am judging you, by simply quoting scriptures. Do you, as a techer teacher, teach any of the commandments, like loving your neighbor, or not commiting adultery, or not to steal. Does that make a judge of people. No. So may you and I both grow in the Grace and knowledge of our Messiah, Yahoshua (Jesus) | ||||||

Rakpak, I know this is a bit off topic but curiousity has the better of me. There are a few on the forum that do this but your’s seems most recent, so I’ll ask, why do you refer to Jesus as Yahoshua? I’m assuming your native toungue is Engllish and you reference the KJV in your posts which is also English. Just curious as to why you don’t refer to Jesus as Jesus. Stand in His grace, WOS |

After much research, and you can look at the marjin notes in the KJV I think at Heb. 4:8, the KJV will say Jesus, but in the Marjin notes, it says, "that is Joshua". SO backtracking you find that Jesus and Joshua is spelled the same in Greek, checking the greek septuigent (however you spell it) as well, the name Joshua is the same as what the moderns bibles translates as Jesus. And if you look at the strong's concordance G2424, it says from Hebrew origin, Jehoshua. But they were no letter J at the time scripture was written. The term HalleluJah, is not found in bible. There is greek form in Rev. chapter 19, Alleluia. In Psalms 150, the term Praise ye the LORD, in Hebrew would be something like "Halal Yah". So, When you combine Yah or Yahweh with the Hebrew word for salvation, yeshua. Yahoshua is a combination of the two. This is just a brief summary, hope I didn't bore you to death. And some of the sacred namers will teach that Jesus is a form of Zeus, that is not true and stay away from those that teach that. |

Then why not just call him Jesus? I'm curious as to why some choose one name over the other. Stand in His grace, WOS |

My personal thought is, and this is just FOR ME. I don't think man has the right to change his name, so it is just my personal preference. And actually, everyone who says, Hallelujah, is using his Hebrew name also. But above all, lets all remember to call upon Him. |

Hi, RakPak... So, what you are saying, is that a man named Richard should insist on not being called Ricardo in Spain, Riccardo in Italy, Rijkert in Denmark, and Rikert in Germany? Furthermore, your premise would indicate that you disagree with James -- Christ's half-brother -- who called Him Iesous (Jesus); or how about his disciples who called Him by that name -- Matthew, John, Peter, etc; or how about Mark, Paul, and Luke who did the same; or how about the fact that Jesus called Himself Jesus on a number of occasions -- in His earthly ministry and after it -- when He called Himself by that name? I think we want to use the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in the cultural context in which we find ourselves. Consequently, since we are an English based forum -- not Hebrew -- why not communicate with one another in comprehensible language (1 Corinthians 14:8-11). In Him, Doc |

Again, all I did was answer a question, everyone has to do what they believe is right, and since he was Hebrew I prefer to use his Hebrew name. And James would be pronounced something like yah-ak-obe'. |

Hi, RakPak... I am Hebrew too. Do you think that you accrue some benefit with God to use Hebrew? The church used Greek -- as did James, by the way. Because they wanted to communicate to as many people as possible. Do you think they were compromising by using Iesous instead of Hebrew? We seek to do what is right, it is true. However, when we deviate from the orthodoxy of Christianity, we need better reasons than "I do what is right in my own eyes." All that aside... You are seeking to communicate with a set of Bible students. Wouldn't you want to use language that does not impede our study, but rather what most effectively communicates? In Him, Doc |

As I stated before, using his Hebrew names is my personal preference, I am not telling anyone they have to. I enjoy looking into the Hebrew names and their meanings. If you want to use Iesous or Iesou, because it is spelled thay way also in the greek text, by all means use it. I still use the name Jesus when talking to others that use the name Jesus. But teaching His Hebrew name is not that complicated, and you might be suprised at how many Bible students already know it. Pro 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? Then on the other hand, if you are witnessing to a Jewish person, they would understand the Hebrew name much easier, and its easier to point out in the OT. Every christian I know speaks at least to words in Hebrew. HalleluYah-Praise Yah |
