Is a name important? Why "Yahushua"? Some have written me asking for an explanation of why I use the form "Yahushua" in reference to the Messiah while others use "Yahshua", "Yeshua" or "Yehoshua". The purpose of this study is to go through each of these pronunciations and determine which is the most correct. I'm not one that believes that you need to pronounce the Messiah's name exactly like I do in order to be saved. However, the issue of the Messiah's name is a very important one. If you don't believe me, read the below scriptures: Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yahushua Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Yahushua Messiah of Nazareth, rise up and walk.
" And this is just in the book of Acts! Origin of the name "Jesus" According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the etymological origin of "Jesus" is: Yeshua. Why Yahuwah & Yahushua Only. World’s Last Chance is committed to presenting truth and truth alone as it is discovered from Scripture. Many organizations and individuals choose to ignore or bury any new truth that disagrees with their previously stated beliefs, assuming that people will lose faith in them if they have to make a course correction. When printed in books, preached to congregations or posted on a website, long-held beliefs seem cast in concrete. World’s Last Chance believes that truth is ever advancing and has covenanted to bring to its website advancing truth as it unfolds.
There will be, therefore, older material that may seem inconsistent with newer postings. However, it is felt that the other truths in the previously written articles are still important and should not be taken off and discarded because of that inconsistency. An example is the use of the corrected name of the Creator, Yahuwah, and His Son, Yahushua. Scripture says that the Creator winks at the times of our ignorance (Acts 17:30). Satan’s Part in God’s Perfect Plan. Introduction The Bible displays a sense of proportion concerning Satan which we should seek to gain and then maintain. The Scriptures tell us all we need to know about Satan, and no more.
Given Satan’s key role in the plan of God, his great power, and his cunning ways, we might expect to find more about Satan in the Bible than we do. God neither wishes to flatter Satan with too much publicity nor desires that we become preoccupied with him. In this series, we are engaged in the study of God’s eternal plan for creation, having previously considered God as the perfect Planner and then His plan as the perfect plan.
Beginning at the Beginning One might expect we would start at the beginning of the Old Testament, where in the first three chapters of Genesis Satan tempts Adam and Eve, and the fall of man occurs. In this survey of Satan in the plan of God, we can only touch briefly on texts which hold much more than we can consider here. Satan in the Old Testament (7) Satan never learns. Evil spirits list. Numbers 25 Calvin's Commentary. And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 1. And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 1. Postquam autem mansit Israel in Sittim, coepit populus scortari eum filiabus Moab. 2. 2. 3. 3. 4. 4. 5. 5. 6. 6. 7. 7. 8. 8. 9. 9. 10. 10. 11. 11. 12. 12. 13. 13. 14. 14. 15. 15. 16. 16. 17. 17. 18. 18. 1 And Israel abode in Shittim. 3.
Baal was then the general name of almost all idols; but all epithet is added to the idol of the Moabites, taken from Mount Peor; nor does it appear that we need go in quest of any other etymology, since the name of this mountain has recently been mentioned. 4. 6. 7. Now, if any private person should in his preposterous zeal take upon himself to punish a similar crime, in vain will he boast that he is an imitator of Phinehas, unless he shall be thoroughly assured of the command of God. 9. 10. A perpetual priesthood is promised to Phinehas as his reward. 14. Romans 1 Calvin's Commentary. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, Romans 1:1-7 1. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 1. 2. 2. 3. 3. 4. 4. 5. 5. 6. 6. 7. 7. 1.
They who think that the Apostle attained this name as a trophy for having brought Sergius, the proconsul, to the faith of Christ, are confuted by the testimony of Luke, who shows that he was so called before that time. A servant of Jesus Christ, etc. -- He signalizes himself with these distinctions for the purpose of securing more authority to his doctrine; and this he seeks to secure by two things -- first, by asserting his call to the Apostleship; [14] and secondly, by showing that his call was not unconnected with the Church of Rome: for it was of great importance that he should be deemed an Apostle through God's call, and that he should be known as one destined for the Roman Church. 2. 3. 4.
"No man taketh it from me," etc.; (John 10:18) 5. 7. The Forgotten Books of Eden: Fourth Book of Maccabees: Chapter I. Sacred Texts Bible Apocrypha Index Previous Next Buy this Book at Amazon.com The Forgotten Books of Eden, by Rutherford H. Platt, Jr., [1926], at sacred-texts.com An outline of philosophy from ancient times concerning Inspired Reason. Civilization has never achieved higher thought. PHILOSOPHICAL in the highest degree is the question I propose to discuss, namely whether the Inspired Reason is supreme ruler over the passions; and to the philosophy of it I would seriously entreat your earnest attention. 2 For not only is the subject generally necessary as a branch of knowledge, but it includes the praise of the greatest of virtues, whereby I mean self-control. 3 That is to say, if Reason p. 178 is proved to control the passions adverse to temperance, gluttony and lust, it is also clearly shown to be lord over the passions, like malevolence, opposed to justice, and over those opposed to manliness, namely rage and pain and fear. 22 Under pleasure, also, comes that moral debasement which p. 179 p. 180.
Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. A Composite of the four Gospels. The four Gospels are combined into a single text, not four side-by-side parallel Gospels. Have you ever read one of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John) wishing that you could somehow read all four of the Gospels together, at the same time? You read one story and you remember that there is more to the story but where is it?
Each of the four Gospels give only a part of the picture. So when we read any one of the four Gospels, by itself, we are missing much of the story. We can only get the whole picture when all four Gospels are read together. You can use your own Bible in trying to find the parallel stories in the four Gospels yourself. Biblical scholars have provided a very good way to study these parallel stories in the different gospels. It is very interesting to view the parallel texts side-by-side, but it is not easy reading because it is often difficult to figure out how the texts can fit together.
Below is the same selection of text, but as they are found in this Composite Gospel. I chose to use a Harmony of the Gospels by A. They Loved Not The Truth. They Loved Not The Truth In 2 Thessalonians 2:10, Paul reveals the root cause of why this terrorized turbulent world will soon experience the wrath and judgment of God. He simply states..... "they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. " Clearly, Paul is talking about people who have never genuinely fallen in love with the Lord Jesus Christ and his teachings. Satan's man for this showdown, the Antichrist, will then be revealed and offered to this troubled world as the great peacemaker, who will bring war and terrorism to an end.
I have nothing but compassion for the multitudes who have never truly loved Jesus. Tragically, some who once loved Jesus with all their hearts, are today losing their first love for him. This twisting of scripture is the perverted contribution that Christian Psychologists and the Health and Wealth gospel gang have made to Christendom. I also know what it's like to fake repentance and to give lip service to a holy loving God. Judgment Against the Elders and Leaders of His People - Isaiah Commentary. Woe To Those Who Call Evil Good and Good Evil - Isaiah Commentary. The Church at Sardis - Revelation Bible Commentary. DIG: What is the contrast between reputation and reality in Sardis? What dangers exist for believers who rely on an image, instead of nurturing a genuine spiritual life? What is the book oflife? What is the only hope for the survival of the church in Sardis?
REFLECT: If Christ addressed this wake up call to you, what would He want you to strengthen? Right now, would Jesus need a fire alarm to wake you up, or would He merely need to send you a text message? Why? The vast distances of interstellar space are unimaginably immense. The enormous distance to even the nearest stars present an interesting possibility. This illustrates the situation in many churches and people. Such was the church in Sardis. 1. 2. 3.

At what point were they strong? Where were they tempted? To what does the statement where Satan has his throne refer? What do you think is easier to endure: persecution by enemies or seduction by culture? Why? Why is the title by which Messiah reveals Himself so appropriate to the faithful there? What is the significance of the sword? REFLECT: What cultural influences distract you from your relationship with Christ? For many people in the Church, the term worldliness has a quaint, old-fashioned ring to it. But the Bible doesn’t hesitate to condemn worldliness for the serious sin that it is.
John makes the believer’s duty to avoid worldly compromise unmistakably clear when he says: Do not love the world or anything in the world. We face similar challenges today. The believers in Pergamum also had plenty of complicated choices. 1. 2. 3. Pergamum was also a center for many other deities. 4. Yet you remain true to My name. 5. 6.
