matthew 19:17, “'Why do you ask me about what is good?' Jesus replied. 'There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments.'”

john 16:22-24, “So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.”

we don't need to ask jesus directly in prayer. i think kissing and holding and putting up to the forehead the cross is idolatry.

as to whether it's wrong or not, i know necromancy is wrong like when king saul tried to contact samuel through that woman.

i think it's wrong, but i don't have an exact piece of scripture that states this relating to the messiah. i do remember that he said many false prophets will come, and we shouldn't follow them, but jesus will return with power. i think we should wait for the second coming and not pray to him.

[BrandonIke]

the spanish conquistadores also brought the spanish language with them though… but there's still a question as to how the various titles were put into the many languages.

honestly, i came to this website because of the trinity article. i think that's wrong for the people through the many years in history to have that doctrine.

i'm looking for the truth. i think the deletion of YHWH from the old testament and the addition of “God” and “LORD” are wrong.

[BrandonIke]

yes, if you look at my test post in the practice section, you'll see that the first address wasn't put into a hypertext.

eliyah, can you give any other encyclopedias that show that the word, god, has a pagan origin?

[BrandonIke]

edit – thanks for *bringing

[BrandonIke]

actually, i've heard that the title “God” was pagan before, and i was interested, but i was swayed into going with the title.

thanks for bring up the topic with lots of writing. i'm pinpointing references.

i think we can take for granted our world. airplanes, ships, cars, computers. when in reality, the history has had lots of bloodshed in wars and slavery. for the conquerors during the conversion process to let natives use whatever word they wanted for our heavenly Father… i think this is wrong to defend in the present time.

1 peter 5:8, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

“In this verse, “devil” is diabolos in the Greek, and signifies “false accuser,” and the word “adversary” is antidikos, meaning “an opponent at law.” The “opponent at law,” a “false accuser” of the Christians was not a supernatural devil, but the persecuting civil authorities of the day. They are likened to “a roaring lion” because of their rapacious fierceness. For a similar reason, Paul wrote that he was “delivered out of the mouth of the lion” (2 Tim. 4:17). In other words, he escaped the imprisonment that was threatened against him.” (from the link)

[BrandonIke]

yes, i've tried to. i need to do more research.

[BrandonIke]

my stance is firm and clear. you're not going to take my faith away in our heavenly Father.

[BrandonIke]

no not you. i feel like killing pagans.

[BrandonIke]

if there's a historical reason for this… if you think the crusades weren't all good. if you think the europeans conquering and making into slaves other people weren't all good…. take a look at the historical perspective as to why the titles such as “God” were used.

[BrandonIke]

in other words, in history for the process of assimilation, the europeans converted and conquered other people by allowing them to use whatever word they wanted for our heavenly Father.

if you think this is ok…

[BrandonIke]

if the above is true, then they deliberately let the people use their titles to bring them under christianity. that's bogus to do that. whether it was “deus” “theos” “adonai”

[BrandonIke]

i feel like killing them. “Secondly, by calling all the deities of the nations only by a title, it was very easy to assimilate them all, identifying all of them with the one deity, whichever you wish to identify them with. This is exactly what happened. With the solarisation of all the deities, the Sun-deity was seen as the one behind them all only having different names.” http://www.iahushua.com/ST-RP/glory.htm

nick hassan or is 1:18, COUNTER THIS NOW. THIS IS ABOMINATION!!! IF YOU THINK IT'S OK TO USE THE TITLE “God” THEN LOOK AT THE ABOVE QUOTE AND SEE HOW IT MIGHT NOT BE OK.

[BrandonIke]

YHWH the tetragrammaton.

[BrandonIke]

david, you were wondering before about where on tv or radio was this message given out? it appears this is an example of an internet radio website. i don't know exactly about it appearing here.

there are also public access channels on tv, i'm wondering if certain people aired information about YHWH.

[BrandonIke]

eliyah, isn't it possible that a certain word could have been mistranslated? that those were lawyers or something that were roaming about like lions?

[BrandonIke]

i did a little research. http://www.truthradio.com/JasonName.htm

“The word “God” comes from the “Common Teutonic word for a personal object of worship, formerly applicable to super-human being of heathen myth; on conversion of Teutonic races to Christianity, the term was applied to Supreme Being.” Encyclopedia Americana 1945. It also seems to have etymological relation to the Pagan deity Gott or Gud. [Gott is the German word for God.] Regardless of our ignorance of the roots of the words, the fact remains that these are terms used to refer to Pagan gods. Now while using those words in ignorance is one thing, using them just because one is unwilling to change due to tradition is another. Not knowing the ramifications, if any, I would rather not find out.”

eliyah, have you researched the encyclopedia americana 1945?

[BrandonIke]

i read more closely the original post, and i see you wrote “blasphemy” and “idol worship.” for these 2, i believe they should be killed. but we must go by scripture. jesus did not command his apostles to take the sword up and slash and kill the pagans, the gentiles that were about. roman soldiers, the woman who asked for help saying that at least dogs can eat crumbs off the table.

in my country, america, there is a law stating freedom of religion. if i were to walk down the sidewalk and kill an indian hindu, then there's a good chance i could be handcuffed and thrown in jail. i would be of less use locked up.

[BrandonIke]

it was more of a societal rule rather than a personal rule.
