Why we should call the LORD by his name!

Today it was just me and my friend Gary Woods. He is the one that is leading the studies.

Today we discussed using the name of God, not just the title of God.
Titles that are so loosely used; God and Lord.

Some churches argue that no one truly knows the name of the Lord.
So they,
namely the Catholic Church in which most churches today are derived from,
took the name of God,
which in Hebrew is YWHW; Yahweh and in English is Jehovah,
out of the bible.
The only bibles that have the name of God in them are:
the Hebrew Bible which has YHWH wriiten in it
and the original 1611 King James Bible which has Jehovah written in it.
In fact the word Jehovah is used 7000 times.

One needs to use the name of the Lord in their own language.
In Hebrew it is Yahweh, In Greek it is Doxi, in English it is Jehovah
and in Spanish it is Jehova. 

Like my first name is Timothy in English,
but in Spanish it is Timoteo, in Polish it is Tymon,
in Chinese it is Di mo xi, and in Japanese it is Timoshi.

Does it matter if we use just the title Lord or God?
Yes it does. This is interpersonal.
Like when a person calls me Mister.
That person does not know me yet, so they say just mister.
When they get to know me and we become formal they use my title and name;
Mister Kerofsky.
Like I call the Lord by his title and name: God Jehovah or Lord Jehovah.

"And it shall come to pass, 

that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: 

for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, 

as the LORD JEHOVAH hath said, 

and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call."

Joel 2:32 KJV (1611)

The Lord Jehovah is not only our savior; 

because he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us,

and he delivered the Israelite's from slavery,

but he is also the creator of all things; 

the universe, the earth, the trees, the oceans, the animals, and man; all things. 

 

"And God Jehovah said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, 

Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."

Exodus 3:14 KJV (1611)

The Lord Jehovah is also our avenger as well. 

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, 

but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, 

Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

Romans 12:19 KJV (1611)

My friends, fellow bloggers, and fellow brothers and sisters in Christ:

I ask you, "Shall we not call the Lord by his name; Jehovah?"

My Wednesday Bible Studies Today!

When I opened up my bible this morning before the studies this was the verse that appeared:

"The first of all thy commandments is
hear O Israel that thy Lord Jehovah is one Lord.
Thou shall Love the Lord thy God with all thy soul,
with all thy heart, and with all thy strength."
Mark 12:30 King James Bible (1611)

Every Wednesday morning I have a bible study at my house.
I study with Orthodox Christians, Catholics, and even Jehovah's Witnesses;
all denominations are welcome, but it is a close circle study.
The purpose of the study is to gain perspective at all angles
and a clear understanding of the bible.
We use as close to the original texts as possible.
And the translations from those texts.

Here is the studies from today:

I asked about a class I did in college to
get the last credit I needed to graduate.
It was a SOC400 class on LGBT.
Do I agree with people as such? No.
Would I judge people as such and put them down? No.
We cannot judge others because of their creed, color, race,
or sexual preference. If you agree with them or not.
We cannot go bashing them or putting them down.
For this is wrong to do. We should always get along with others.
For when we get along with others, we live in harmony.

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
Leviticus 18:22 KJV (1611)

"Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:
and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
Matthew 7:1-3 KJV (1611)

The lord will teach you. All you have to do is call upon him and listen.

"Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit,
which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go."
Isaiah 48:17 KJV (1611)

 Gods word is truth!

"God Jehovah is not a man, that he should lie;
neither the son of man Jesus, that he should repent:
hath he said, and shall he not do it?
or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"
Numbers 23:19 KJV (1611)

 "And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed,
The LORD, The LORD JEHOVAH,
merciful and gracious, longsuffering,
and abundant in goodness and truth,
Keeping mercy for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,
and that will by no means clear the guilty;
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children,
and upon the children's children,
unto the third and to the fourth generation."
Exodus 34:6-7 KJV (1611)

The milk of Christ!  

"And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed,
The LORD, The LORD JEHOVAH,
merciful and gracious, longsuffering,
and abundant in goodness and truth,
Keeping mercy for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,
and that will by no means clear the guilty;
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children,
and upon the children's children,
unto the third and to the fourth generation."
Exodus 34:6-7 KJV (1611)

Thought of the day:

When we follow the Lord Jehovah and be like his son Jesus:
have mercy, compassion, be caring and giving;
we will find our inner peace, have a fulfilled life - a life of harmony, 
and have our eternal life in Heaven one day.

Why I like President Obama!

I have nothing bad to say about Obama

he is one of the best presidents we had in a long time.

He reformed Education, raised emission standards,

reformed alternate energy;

we have more hybrid and electric cars now,

we have less oil dependence of other countries,

gas prices are finally dropping,

he stopped the Keystone pipeline for now,

he is fighting congress every step of the way just to fix this country;

to fix our infrastructure - our bridges, roads, sewers,

and electrical grid.

As an Environmentalist and member of 350.org,

I applaud him and all he did for the Environment.

The economy is bad and people are blaming it on him,

but he did do a bank bail out,

if he did not it would have been worse.

We still have much to fix,

he has job reform and veterans admin reform

that could be passed,

however there is way too much fighting among the Republicans

and the Democrats in Washington; Boehner is the worst!

Obama has lots of ideas that will fix this country,

but much of it is not getting passed.

He had to use executive orders just to get things passed.

The best thing Obama did was the Affordable Health Care Act.

Kennedy had the idea of it and started it,

Obama finally got it passed.

Now we have healthcare reform like they have in Canada

and England.

Education reform is in the works;

we are behind in many areas -

Sweden, Qatar, Jordan, Japan, and China all have better

education standards than the United States.

Obama is fighting to get things done. 

The biggist thing he did before 2014 ended,

was to reform relations with Cuba. 

This has been long past due,

and I hope that we can have good relations with a country less than a 100 miles from us. 

Hopefully he can finish what he started.

More importantly we have to get our bridges fixed.

There are way to many buses crashing and children getting killed

due to collapsing bridges. 

I wish Obama the best in year 2015, 

Go Obama! I salute you! LT Kerofsky.
