Now that I’ve discussed the Hebrew Bible in my last post, I want to share one of the most amazing chapters in the Old Testament. It can be found in Isaiah 42 as recorded in the Hebrew Bible, and I refer to this passage often in my writings. This is my servant, whom I uphold,Continue reading “Isaiah 42”

In the last post, I explained why I use Christ’s Hebrew name, Yeshua, rather than the Greek version of his name, Jesus. As I wrote that entry, I was thinking that I should have clarified the name usage in a much earlier post, as there are probably plenty out there that aren’t aware of theContinue reading “The Hebrew Bible/JPS Version”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”
