I will say that much of what I currently believe is a result of disputation of hearing arguments, making arguments, testing these arguments etc. and most of this disputation has occurred on internet forums. Further, much of what I believe is a result of listening to sermons on SermonAudio and participating on one of the last forums that allows for freedom of speech.

This may not be a synagogue but I do find many devout persons on this site. The free exchange of ideas and the sharpening of iron is a worthy cause.

Before responding to Elise, I was reading this thread over and over to understand. I could give many examples, but I'll use the gays...the gays who go to church and the gays who preach. They believe in Christ and what He did, though they feel He loves them irregardless of their lifestyle choice. Will they, as one example, go to Heaven upon death? Or, am I misunderstanding? Thanks.

However, just as a righteous earthly father, our heavenly father will chasten disobedient children and judgment begins first with the house of God. An unrepentant sodomite will not receive a well done though good and faithful servant now enter into the joy of the Lord and will not be part of the first resurrection. Yet, he will live again at the second resurrection because of the blood of Jesus Christ.

the beheadings already happening, have been happening, will happen. currently happening under the scourge of globalist prinicipalities and powers, and of which the american church must repent.
that description to me looks accurately like the history of the church, and current reality of the church.
of course, we tend to diminish and ignore those beheadings... (because they happen not to us but to those we are "helping")

Rufus: If you define Saints as set apart holy ones, yes all Saints will rule during the millenium. However, if you define every believer as a Saint then no, not all believers will reign in the kingdom. The profitable ones will, the unprofitable will not.

Revelation 20:5 - But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Zac from Birmingham,
You will find this type of Armenian,dispensational,doesn't matter how you live taught in the majority of so called evangelical churches in this country....

The grace (gift) of God is unmerited favor, no work can you do to get it and no work you must do to keep it. It's by the works of Jesus Christ that we might be saved eternally, not our own works.

... Y'shua would have been the Hebrew way to say Jesus, and just as we don't need the words "Trinity" and "Abortion" in the Scriptures to know what God says about them (try THOSE in your KJV-query), so we don't need an English transliteration of Hebrew to know historical what Jesus would sound like to those who would have been familiar. BTW, one could cite countless sources of Hebrew concordances and dictionaries derived from the Masoretic text to prove YHWH.

... Just friendly advice.

Further, when Moses broke the tablets the Israelites were not instructed to try to piece together those broken bits to figure out what God said. Instead, they were to read and believe from what God recreated and preserved.

Finally, this Yahweh business is from Pagan Babylon and is a construct of Kabbalists. As I consider Kabbalists to be witches, I do not follow them, nor their doctrines. If you're game, I would pose the same question I posed to my friend TheWayPA. If I tell you a name of God is Jehovah, I can tell you what foundation I base that on and precisely where you can turn to. If you say his name is Yahweh what source would you cite for this? What book may I put in my hands that declares this?

For example, the following is considered self-righteous:
"I prefer to serve people who attend my church rather than those outside the church."

Yet...

Galatians 6:10 - As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

W:And if it is not a sin to be Jewish...
R: I don't really know what you are asking here. I will say I was a gentile and now I am a Christian. You say you were a Jew and now you are a Jew.

W: 2) What do you mean about "my TV...
R: It has to do with the cute list I made and how I can provide similar cute lists for the other branches of media that program people to believe the way they do.

W: 3) Would you renounce anything written in the post of Cezar?
R: There is a body of people that say they are Jews and are not and this people does like to slither into other cultures and destroy them. If this is what he was referring to(and I suspect he was), I would say amen. This group of people is heavy on sexual perversion which is why this article lacks anything resembling a surprise.

Contrarily, there is a remnant of Jews that are not about blaspheming Jesus Christ, are peace-makers and I suspect are the type of folks that will have to flee in Matthew 24 and will gather around Jesus to fulfill Zechariah 13:6.

How about you direct me to a source where Jehovah is used and not YHWH in the OT. You can't...

Exodus 6:3 - And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

Psalms 83:18 - That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

Isaiah 12:2 - Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Isaiah 26:4 - Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

W:If it is,... take it up with the Jewish Messiah, Jesus.
R: Jesus did not emphasize his ancestry but zealously preached against the Jews and their customs. Praise the Lord he is the door for both Jews and Gentiles to become Christians.

W:...where it says that the Gospel is the power of God for the JEW AND THE GREEK! ...
R:The gospel is the power of God for the Jew and the Greek to become Christians. Are you a Christian or are you a Jew? Choose you this day.

W: YHWH is Savior
R: Yahweh is a false god. Jehovah, Jah, Jesus, these are the names of the true and living God.

W: ...name is Jesus/Y'shua, which means "salvation."
R: His name is Jesus which means Jehovah is Saviour. Will you direct me to the source you use which claims Y'shua as a name of God?

W:Well, I hate to say it but anti-semitism is alive today,...
R: Considering how often you say it, I do not believe that you hate to say it. Someone says something you do not like you oft yell "Anti-Semitism", or "Holocaust". I am long removed from your TV and movies, the guilt trip has no power over me any longer.

Wow, I guess its in our genes, huh? Your misquoting of Scripture along with your asinine sweeping generalizations about an entire ethnic groups hardly bear a reason to respond. THIS Jew does not support gay "marriage;" THIS Jew believes in the JEWISH Messiah Jesus; THIS Jew doesn't want to destroy other people's cultures. Any other anti-semitic libel you want to throw against us while your at it? ...

1 Corinthians 10:32 - Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles,nor to the church of God:

You,at the least, give an uncertain sound when you emphasize having Abraham as your father. Saul was a Pharisaical Jew and then became Paul, a Christian. I encourage you to do likewise.

Lastly, Jehovah is Saviour and his name is Jesus.

Genesis 7:19 - And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

"This is a joke. Vatican City has no power over other nations; it certainly does not reign over them. In fact, the Vatican’s very existence has been threatened in the past two centuries by Italian nationalism."
Tiny Vatican City comprises just 0.03% of the land mass in colossal Rome.
Vatican City, consising of 13 buildings, sets on a minor hill about 200 ft tall.
