Thank you for this post. My husband and I have been lead into the Hebrew roots of our walk with God and have found more depth, emotion and passion then we ever expected. God continually blows our minds with the deepness of his Sod. ( not sure if that’s spelled right. Sod pertains to God’s word and the part that lies underneath or hidden. Meaning the deeper you dig into the word the more you will find! Sod is a Hebrew word) I have to tell you that today my mind was utterly blown away by the discovery that every letter in every word adds to the Sod and story of God! That must be what he meant when he said that “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.” WOW! every jot and tittle are not just small marks that enhance the word but important foundation bricks which hold significant meaning with in themselves adding support and stability to the word.

I will defiantly be doing my bible studies a little differently from now on!

may the lord bless you and keep you!

[...] Ishmael (Yishmael, Yishma’el, ישמעאל) means, “God hears,” “God hears me,” “God will hear,” or, more literally, something like, “God sees me destroy/consume the nations,” (Genesis 16:11-13). [...]

I think grace should prevail here, and since I’m from Texas, I’m not sure how a Sunday morning service full of properly pronounced Hebrew names would fly because where does one draw the line, Yeshayahu, Jochanan? Most people wouldn’t know who you were referring to…I probably wouldn’t know many…

I think it is fantastic to study paleo Hebrew; it is a window into the depths of the Word. I also think that names are very important, instructive, prophetic, etc. Therefore, I am most puzzled as to why scholars, translators, pastors, teachers, etc. shun the Name of Yahuweh, and Yahushua and are content to promote misleading and incorrect replacements? I asked the same question of one of the translators on the committee for the ISV; his response was: “We translate according to our traditions and translation philosophy.” Great; just keep the sheeple in the dark.

Thank you for clarifying your thoughts with me. I only wish you could also look into other religions.

Peace.

I don’t get offended by discussions of religion, but your analogy doesn’t apply. I wasn’t looking for religion, nor was I studying religions to find the “right” one. I am not claiming to have seen the whole world or all religions. Again, I wasn’t looking for a religion. For that matter, all religions can be done away with as far as I am concerned. I am not a Christian because it was the first religion I came in contact with. In fact, I rejected Christianity because of the emphasis on “religion”. I later came to faith because of a life changing encounter with Jesus Christ. I believe Jesus to be my personal Lord and Savior. I believe Jesus is the Messiah of Israel. I believe I am saved by grace through faith. I believe the Bible to be the Word of God. And I believe Jesus to be the embodiment of that Word. Other religions interest me intellectually, but I am not now nor have I ever sought to find the “right” religion.

I have read your earlier post but it doesn’t give me my answer which is if you don’t believe Bible to be 100% word of God then how can you make yourself believe that this is the right faith and word of God? You also said you explored other religions but didn’t do extensive studies of them so basically you didn’t fairly studied and challenge your religion vs other religions to find the truth, it’s like saying you have seen the whole world when you didn’t even come out of your house? I hope I am not offending you, I am just trying understand. Can you tell me what other religions you explored? As always it’s interesting to talk to you.

Peace.
