    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    My point is - the Son had a Name way before Jesus was born, and I am sure it wasn't Logos... My guess is that it was Yehoshua. The God who Saves.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    There you are - this is stated twice in John 17. 11 I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, so that they may be one just as We are. 12 While I was with...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Jesus was given the Father's Name and it meant "the God Who Saves" - I understand this to mean Yehoshua. Yehoshua is derived from yeho (meaning God) and shua (meaning to deliver or save) This name is commonly given the modern rendering Yeshua in Hebrew, or Jesus in English.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Proverbs 30:4 Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His Son’s name? Surely you know! You seem to be claiming the Son didn't have a Name...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Then how do you explain Jesus being given the Fathers Name in John 17 ? It boils down to the fact that we worship the "God who saves" who's name in English is Jesus.

    Romans 8:13 for if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Hey Matt... A few months ago a member here on the forum send me a photo of my country New Zealand, that his neighbour took. That photo was exactly the spot where I gave my life to Jesus !!!!! This was an awesome so called co-incidence - I lay down on the gravel alone on the lake edge and...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Yes it is by Grace and without the gift of the Holy Spirit - Truth is out of reach. Salvation is not something that can be earned - the work was done by Jesus on the Cross - our trust in His Work and His Name is what saves us if we are willing to yield all to Him completely. I did this when I...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    The terms Father Son and Holy Spirit are limited approximations to the reality and extent of who they are and how they operate together. As they have always existed outside of time our human minds fail to comprehend the extent of their Glory and Majesty. The Scripture gives us enough to be...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    A full reading of scripture is critical for a balanced shot in understanding. Scripture at the end of the day is only truely understood by His Grace and not logic. There is mystery in the Truth that can only be caught rather than taught and this does not come easy. I have been asked to wait...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    From John 17... 11 "I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me... 12 "While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, which You have given Me... Authority is in the Name of Jesus - the name above every name in heaven and on earth...

    Heb 1 1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the world.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Actually He was given the Fathers Name according to John 17. The name He was given is the Name above every name because it was the name of the Father. Scripture records Jesus was a co-worker with the Father at the beginning of time. Heb 1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the...

    A Word for the church (four actually) concerning worship.

    Sorry Steve, not so conversant with the protocols, my apologies, over the 7 years I have been kicking around here I have expanded my views somewhat on some issues as well. So to keep up dialogue as we continue our theological journey is critical - discernment of truth is a joint effort. So I...

    A Word for the church (four actually) concerning worship.

    I might say that I received a profound physical healing at Ruth Heflin's meeting at Mt. Zion in Jerusalem back in the 80's

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    I have found that sharing the Gospel with Jews - reference to Melchizedek is a very effective bridge to understanding about Jesus. His High Priestly function which supersedes the Mosaic priesthood speaks volumes to His people who have lost their way. Jesus in the OT is very powerful when seen...
