The scriptures reveal to us who God states as His name. Throughout the scriptures, , (Tetragrammaton) which represents the four Hebrew letters of the Creator’s Name - YHWH (‘yod-hey-waw-hey’) pronounced ‘Yahweh’ is the name of God. His name appears in excess of 6,000 times in scriptures. Most...

Are you implying that you or anyone else can live out their days without ever sinning?

I agree that being saved of your past sins is a one time event. However, the expectation is that your life is now dedicated to God, guided if you allow, by His Spirit. Falling back into one's pre repentant way of life will not provide one salvation in God's Kingdom.

I could use some clarification as to how you set out to live your life after your repentance? Scripture clearly states that if we return to a life of unrepentant sin there is no hope. (Hebrews 6).

I can only trust in what God says. Do all we can to follow Him and trust that when we stumble, He will be there to pick us up.

I submitted this reply on a similar topic but believe it's applicable here as well: The Bible teaches that salvation is not a one time event, but a process. Salvation requires our action (Mk 1:15, 2 Cor 7:10 and many others teach/confirm this) - saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom...

The Bible teaches that salvation is not a one time event, but a process. Salvation requires our action (Mk 1:15, 2 Cor 7:10 and many others teach/confirm this) - saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Repentance is a prerequisite...

I think it is important that we keep in mind that love is behavior, a way of life - not an emotion. Thanks for the reminder.

I agree that deliberate sin will cause a falling away from God. However, who’s definition of sin? The sins against God’s Biblical commands? The church’s definition? Which church? Different denominations have differing views of sin, just look at the 10 commandments of the Roman Catholic church...

This is true. Across the world, the same Torah (the first 5 books of Moses) portion is read. Each year begins a new cycle.

I agree that Isaiah was given this direction. The Messiah also carried this responsibility as confirmed in Mt 4:43, Mk 1:38.

The Messiah tells us that He was sent to preach “the Gospel of the Kingdom of God” (Luke 4:43). This verse gives additional detail to that mission. In reference to the point about the Holy Spirit coming upon the Messiah after His baptism, I believe we are looking at a prophetic or foreshadowing...

The Word of God. The only begotten Son of God. Fully man and fully divine. I think it is crucial that we understand who it is that we identify as “Jesus”. Unfortunately, there are differing views expressed throughout the various faiths and religious denominations throughout the world...

From Scriptures, we are told in Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one”. As we know that scripture collaborates scripture, we see that confirmation in Mark 12:29 “Yahshua/Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one”...

From my understanding of scriptures, man can indeed be destroyed. As we are told via the Messiah in Mt 10:28 - “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Scriptures also tell us that “hell” is everlasting...

Briefly: Yahshua/Jesus is the “only begotten Son of God”. He is the One who prophecy points to. He is the One who fulfilled biblical prophecy (Isaiah 9: 5-6, Luke 1: 30-33). His presence on earth was to represent Yahweh/God, to teach us God’s way and become the sin offering for the sins of...

Throughout Genesis chapter 1, the creation week, God refers to the completion of a day's work with "there was evening and there was morning - the first (second, third, etc.) day. God's defined day is sunset to sunset.

Scriptures tell us that Yashua/Jesus would be in the heart of the earth for 3 days and 3 nights. (We must keep in mind that God’s created day begins at sundown and completes at sunset.) Scriptures also tell us He died on the Passover. This begins the 3 day, 3 night clock. God’s commanded...

Very interesting question/topic. In previous discussions over the years with others on this topic trying, as we are, to understand what the Scriptures say we encountered points that led us down some very interesting paths, i.e: when someone talks of Jesus, the Gospel, believer, disciple, etc...

Your words are very encouraging and I hope the Scriptures continue to be a comfort to you. My journey to this point has been on a very different road, however it has this in common with yours, both paths have taken us from darkness into the light. Each day, so that I will never forget I read...
