Out of the mouths of babes,...
hehe
I wanted to be done with it because, well, some were even "led" to blaspheme... and so I returned to our Lord as to what to do next.
Peace unto you Dear Shelby! Take heart, for you did not blaspheme in your anger and predictions of the downfall of others. Our Lord instructed me to relate that to you, that to blaspheme would require more that speaking the anger from your heart in his name. He reminds you to read and meditate upon James 4:8.
I have acheived my goal of exposing AGuest already, as indicated by other responses.
Peace unto you, dear OTWO, but our Lord communicated to me that exposing the anger in Shelby's heart was not your task to perform, you were merely an instrument she used upon herself to in an attempt by our Lord to allow her to fully learn the lesson he is trying to teach her.
There are times when I feel that humans make mountains out of molehills. Actually humans are very apt at that. All the drama that surrounds it, all the hoo haa, and a desire to be nitty picky about little things.
I'm not saying some of it isn't important, but at the end of the day, when you believe in the Creator and your heart is searching, you can call and he will answer, never left in the first place. Each has his/her path to walk, some have a desire to share the knowlege, some know as I do that even a sharing of knowledge doesn't help unless the person receiving wants to actually listen.
The Lord is a hearer of all prayers and he answers the prayers of the pure heart. Rest in Him for he is good! Trust in his love!
"Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people, to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest"; and, 'This is the place of repose"--but they would not listen. So then, the word of the LORD to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there--so that they will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured.'" - Isaiah
What name did Mary, His mother, use when she called Him in for supper?

Is it possible that stating the truth, even though one knows others are going to chide, deride, ridicule, smear, slander... even blaspheme [against the Holy Spirit]... is evidence of one's underestimation of one self?
Shelby, Thank you for your reply.
Having Christ talk to you personally must be an awesome confidence booster. I feel important if the postman smiles and says hello to me. You do attract a great deal of abuse for you efforts to educate others in the ways of righteousness. There are times when even my hard heart feels empathy for you.
I wonder if you realize why you receive such a reaction? Your style of delivery suggests that you enjoy attention. Whether negative or positive, you like to be in front of the class. We all enjoy attention from time to time but the wrong kind of attention is not healthy. Despite you humble servant and slave of Christ signature, your posts don't appear to show genuine humility. That is a desirable attribute in anyone; for a slave of the Lord, essential. This is just my observation.
Perhaps you could get your message across more successful if you gave consideration to comments that people make about your style of delivery? I have a number of Christian friends, including a vicar who comes for dinner in my house and invites me to his. I also have a close friend who is a Buddhist and other friends who follow no particular spiritual path. We are able to get on because we respect each others present understanding of the meaning of life.
So you see, I bear you no ill-will and hope you receive a more gentle ride in the weeks ahead.
Jesus is what is in the bible, so that's his name.
Which Bible, dear Serenity?
If he had wanted to be called by some other name it should have been made clear in the bible.
Apparently, it was, dear one:
"'And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.' And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jah eShua (because that is the Hebrew name) whom thou persecutest.'"
If you can't list the scriptures where his name is this Jehesua or whatever, then it is not factual.
And if I can? Obviously, you haven't heard of... or read... the Hebrew Names Bible (or more than one... or two... of the more than 40 other versions). Here's a sample:
http://www.blueletterbible.org/search/translationResults.cfm?Criteria=Yeshua&t=HNV&page=2
The name, "Yeshua" is actually "Jah eshua". I am not lying to you. I have no reason TO lie to you. Some state it as "Yeshua"... some as "Y'shua" (or with the schwan, indicating removal of the vowel [sound]... which was done due to some's fear of uttering God's name, which is part of my Lord's name), etc.
But the sound that some pronounce as "Yeh"... is actually pronounced "Yah"... and spelled "Jah" (the "yodh" is not a "y" in English, but a "J'). So that is it "Jah eShua"... or... Jaheshua. Pronounced... "Yah eh shua". Even "Yah eschwa." There is an emphasis on the "Jah"... not on the "eh".
I have not lied to anyone or attempted to deceive or mislead anyone regarding this matter. I only shared what I've been given. If anyone truly wished to hear... they should truly consider who it is they're trying to listen to (and no, I don't mean me)... rather than take issue with ME... for NOT hearing. While perhaps not all do, I do consider what I share "pearls"... of great value. And perhaps I have cast them before [some] swine. I did not consider ANY to BE swine, however, but shared with all.
Will you not hear Christ if you call upon "Jesus"? Will Christ not answer you if you do? I have never stated that. Not at all. If that's what you "received" from my posts then I implore you to take a minute... or two... and READ them. And then check YOUR heart and consider... please... WHY it is you "heard" something other than what I stated... and why. My motive was pure and from a clean place. Was/is yours?
Again, I bid you all peace.

My dearest Shelby, our Lord has instructed me to tell you that indeed you have not lied, for lying requires knowing deceit. He requires me to tell you that you are merely confused, that you do not understand Hebrew or Greek and that Yeh, Yah and Jah are not the same at all. He asks, begs, pleads with you to not go beyond what you know, that in your hubris you shame him in your ingorance you proclaim in his name.
Peace to you.

And I just bet, dear Serenity, that you wouldn't even know a rock pit is called a 'quarry'. Hmmp!
The Lord is a hearer of all prayers...
"When you spread out your hands in prayer , I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood..."
"Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer."
"You have covered yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through."
"To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jah eShua told this parable: 'Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed about/to himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men-robbers, evildoers, adulterers-or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
"For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer , but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
Sadly shaking head...
A slave of Christ,
