“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” (William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet) The word “name” in Hebrew and Greek has a lot more meaning to it than the English equivalent today. We can see traces of the original definition in some older phrases, but,…Read More
The scriptures are very clear that YHWH is our Father and Jesus (Yehoshua) is our brother (Romans 8:29, Matt. 12:50, John 20:17). No one in the bible thought YHWH became a man, and not one of Jesus’ (Yehoshua’s) followers claimed he was YHWH. Who the Disciples Thought Jesus (Yehoshua) Was Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came…Read More
There are some who try to say because YHWH says there are no other saviors, it means that, if Jesus (Yehoshua) is our savior, it means he’s YHWH. This is also clearly shown to be a misunderstanding. All throughout the Old Testament, scriptures tell us YHWH sends saviors, such as: Judges 3:9 And when the…Read More
YHWH is beyond our comprehension at times, which leads to mankind using personifications and allegories to split Him into sections such as different personalities in the doctrine of the trinity, and emanations in the Kabbalah, etc. If we think of those as figurative, it’s not a problem, but seeing them as literal goes against the…Read More
There is a famous story in the bible of Jacob wrestling with a “man” where Jacob received a new “name” and calls the place Penuel which means “face of God.” Because of this name, “Face of God,” it’s assumed the “man” who Jacob was wrestling with was an angel of the LORD (AKA angel of…Read More
Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’? If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came–and Scripture cannot be set aside–then what about the one whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse me of blasphemy for stating…Read More
The word for souls in the bible is Nephesh. Genesis 2:7 describes the creation of Adam’s soul. Genesis 2:6 But a mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then YHWH God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of…Read More
The scriptures teach that we are not of this world just as Messiah was not of this world. Unless the head of the body of Christ is in heaven and the rest of his body is down on earth, we too are situated in Heaven, IN Christ. Because Christ was not beheaded, the whole body…Read More
The fact that our immortal spirits are given to us by God to inhabit our souls (bodies) was discussed in the article Souls vs. Spirits. You will find the video concerning golems in that article also. Our souls (bodies) were formed of the earth and became “living souls” when we were given the “breath of…Read More
In the bible, Jesus (Yehoshua) says some demons can only come out with prayer and fasting. There are some people who call these demons “archons,” or “Jinn,” but the idea is the same. They feed off us like parasites, and we can stop them by repenting of our sin and going through a deliverance. Because…Read More
