Yeshua is the Hebrew name for the one better known as Jesus. With the printing of the New Testament in Greek, the name Yeshua was not possible because there is no Y or Sh in the Greek alphabet. Therefore, the name Jesus was created by substituting a J for the Y and an S forContinue reading “Yeshua, the Prince of Peace”
The Temple
In the Gospel of John, Yeshua was talking to the religious leaders who wanted a sign from God to show them that Christ was given the authority to do what he had just done. (John 2:14-19, KJV) He had just poured out the changers’ money, tipped over their tables, and driven out the sacrificial animalsContinue reading “The Temple”
The Body of Christ
For the purposes of clarity, I am beginning this post with the same intro as my last post entitled, The New Covenant. It was three and a half decades ago that I first heard the voice of God. It was not an audible voice, but rather a knowing of exactly what the spirit of GodContinue reading “The Body of Christ”
The New Covenant
It was three and a half decades ago that I first heard the voice of God. It was not an audible voice, but rather, a knowing of exactly what the spirit of God was saying to my spirit. The information that I received was definitely not from my thought processes, as I knew my intellectualContinue reading “The New Covenant”
Righteousness
Recently, I watched Piers Morgan interview Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, the author of the book, The Return of the God Hypothesis. Interestingly, Dr. Meyer is an astrophysicist with a PhD, and his hypothesis that he presents to his scientific peers is: that God, the creator, is responsible for the origin of life. This is greatContinue reading “Righteousness”
The Fall of Judas
There’s probably never been another person more disparaged than Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed Jesus. He has been vilified in one Gospel as one who became possessed by the Devil, and in another, as Satan himself incarnate. Interestingly, Peter was never accused of being possessed by Satan even though Yeshua addressed him forthright, “GetContinue reading “The Fall of Judas”
The Son of Man
It is mentioned eighty-five times in the Gospels that Yeshua referred to himself as the Son of Man. In Hebrew, son of man is a term used to separate the divinity of God from a mere human. Christ was calling himself a human, and actually rebutted the idea that he was even similar toContinue reading “The Son of Man”
Their Sinister Plan
In order to truly understand the mission of Christ and to be able to interpret his teachings, some knowledge of the Jewish culture is necessary. To know about their religion, their beliefs, and the traditions of the first century, brings clarity to what Christ was referencing as he spoke to his audience. Things that soundContinue reading “Their Sinister Plan”
The Through Line
Years ago, I wrote my first screenplay. I read the book, Screenwriter’s Bible, I wrote the screenplay, and sent it off to the author of the book who is a script consultant. After feedback and suggestions for changes, he gave it a greenlight for marketing to Hollywood, of which I never did. However, my effortsContinue reading “The Through Line”
The End Times
There are Christian ministries centered around the topic of the end times. The leaders of these ministries are often called dooms day preachers by non-Christians. When I was in the church, I was always fascinated by their messages. I would get so excited when I would listen to one of their sermons, because they wereContinue reading “The End Times”
