    Did Jesus say that we are supposed to attend church?

    Do a word study on the word church and if possible break it down into the Greek and Hebrew. Very insightful exercise. You may find that the English word for church does not convey the biblical assembly or congregation. I will help you a little the Greek used for church is ekklesia. This can be...

    Did Jesus say that we are supposed to attend church?

    This verse needs to be understood from the Hebraic perspective. It is the book of Hebrews after all. Most people believe this is the "church meeting" but remember this was written nearly 2000 yrs ago. the "assembling of ourselves together" are the feasts of Yahweh as it says to the Hebrews 3...

    The Holy Spirit

    I am saddened and disappointed with your reply. Describing what you called pretty words in a derogatory manner. Are in fact words quoted from our scriptures. So you have revealed what is in your heart of what is really going on. Belief in and following Yahweh is not about academic intellectual...

    The Holy Spirit

    Yeshua has always been. He was from the foundation of the world. In the beginning was the word, and the word became flesh. All thing were created by Him and all things created through Him and for Him. If you think the Holy Spirit was not present in the OT, well then you are reading a way...

    The Holy Spirit

    No spiritual gifts prior? So you are saying no spiritual gifts were given/manifested in the OT? Also Pentecost is as the original text reveals The Feast of Weeks or in Hebrew Shavuot. No Pentecost prior? Feast of Weeks/Shavuot happened every year prior. It is strongly believed when Yahweh...

    The Holy Spirit

    Ruach - Spirit, wind, breath etc etc appear 363 times in the OT. Qodesh - Holy, set apart, etc is found 548 times in the OT. The Hebrew word Ruach directly connected with YHWH is found well over 100 times. So over 30% the word ruach is found in the OT directly connected to YHWH. Yes I looked up...

    The Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit is most definitely in the OT. This is why these terms need to be understood in the original language. When understood as Ruach HaKodesh it is found everywhere in the OT. English is a translation not the original. Ponder on that for a while. Shalom Friend

    Tips in studying Bible-Hermeneutics

    Try and understand the original context (culture) and language as obviously it was vastly different from our own. I heard this quote a fair while ago now "The bible was written for us but not too us." It was written in a different language within a different culture. To a people that have a...

    Catholicism v. Protestantism

    Hey my 2 cents worth. I understand the etymology of the word "Protestant" is a protesting Catholic. This is where our English word protest comes from. Luther was still a Catholic, but he was protesting against the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Shalom Friend

    What does Law mean Biblically?

    There are some on here that are really saying some nasty insulting things that are not from the Spirit of Yahweh. They are not displaying fruits of the spirit in their comments, what a sad representation of what they call their faith. Sorry everyone if my comments have offended please forgive...

    What does Law mean Biblically?

    I never said He practiced Judaism. Depending on how one defines the word Jew. A Jew can be identified with and directly connected to the house of Judah which is how I refer to Yeshua, as one of His titles is Son of David. David obviously represent the House of Judah. Another title of our Messiah...

    Infant baptism biblical?

    There is the one new man which is what Paul explains when he declares it's not whether your a Jew, Gentile, male, female, slave or free. All are one in Messiah. Hallelulyah. No I am not a Jew, please be careful in assumptions. I am from house of Ephraim/Israel also. Shalom Brother

    What does Law mean Biblically?

    So no mention that all nations will be going up to Jerusalem to observe and keep the feast of Tabernacles as commanded in Lev 23? So, you are saying that the old covenant is dead! But there are many things that are written in the OT that will be observed and taught in the new millennium after...

    What do you pray for?

    I pray that the eyes of my understanding may be opened to understand His word, His teachings, His instructions. My understanding of prayer has changed much. He never ceases to amaze me. If we seek Him we will find Him. Shalom Friends

    Is that His real name Jesus?

    Enlighten us please. Looking forward to your proposition. I prefer to call Him Yeshua, but also understand that people have variants of the pronunciations of that also. I am also Ok with Jesus. I was just making a point in the original post. Shalom Friend

    Is that His real name Jesus?

    Yes I understand what you are saying. But the point I am making is that proper nouns are usually transliterated inti the closet letter sounds of the language being translated into. My point is no need in English as we have in our language the same sounding letters for the Hebrew word Yeshua. So...
