1 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | gjboone | 73953 | ||
Ed, How is the Holy Spirit ineffective if the person does not listen? We have free-will, YHWH does not violate that. As an example say the Holy Spirit is working through me in these last days trying to get people return to the Truth, if people close their minds, they won't receive it. Who's fault is that? According to the Bible the non-listener: Ezekiel 33:3 "If when he (watchman) seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, HIS BLOOD SHALL BE UPON HIS OWN HEAD. You say that Yeshua fufilled the Sabbath. What was the purpose and/or the fulfillment of Yom Teruah (Numbers 29:1-6), Yom Kippur( Leviticus 23:27-32) and Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:39-43)? If you do not know, you do not know the entire plan of salvation. That is exactly what satan planned when he entered the church (2 Cor 11:14-15). Greg Boone |

gjboone: Greg, if you will, please tell us what your rationale is for using the tetragrammaton YHWH for God and Yeshua for Jesus. This forum is visited by young and old and by people of varying degrees of education and biblical knowledge. Therefore, though perhaps you can show me wherein I'm wrong, I see no earthly reason not to refer to the Father and the Son as God and Jesus respectively. Do you? --Hank | ||||||
3 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | gjboone | 73985 | ||
The reason is fairly straightforward. When YHWH spoke to Moses He spoke in Hebrew. He revealed Himself as YHWH. Because the name was so sacred the Hebrews forgot how to actually pronounce it therefore some people say Yahweh, Jehovah etc. I prefer YHWH. Yeshua is our Savior's actual Hebrew name. It means YHWH is Salvation. Why should I call Him by a foreign name? It would be like referring to a person named George as Gaylord (German for George). The term "God" can be misleading. Are we sure YHWH is the same "God" Muslims refer to? Greg Boone |

Greetings Greg! I have no problem with the practice of using YHWH, but I don't personally prefer it for one simple reason. Neither Hebrew, nor Greek, is my native language. :-) When the New Testament was inspired by God, the authors did not use 'YHWH', or 'Yeshua'. The NT authors used Greek terms for both. So, I figure that when I am speaking English, I should use English terms as well! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, Yes, I do not think it is a major issue. I just think it is a matter of respect. I think we all would prefer that people say our names in English rather than some other language. There are some studies I have seen on the origin of the terms "Jesus", "Lord" etc. but I have not pursued it thoroughly. I think its easier to use the exact name He gave and that avoids confusion or any suspect etymology. I believe YHWH chose Hebrew for very good reason. I am beginning to learn the basics of the Hebrew language. From what I understand, once you do there are many different levels of understanding contained in the original Hebrew text. Shalom, Greg Boone |
