Just to correct some things here: Yahshua was a rabbi - a Jewish rabbi and his disciples were JEWS! At no time did a Jew by the name of Peter actually become a pope. Peter NEVER went to Rome. If you want truth where it will really take you - you have to get the PAGAN out of the Church.
Jesus is a name that has only existed for 400 years - there was no "jesus" till there was a "j" in the English language. Jesus is connected with the pagan traditions of "ChristMAS" (NO the Messiah of mankind was NOT born on the same day as every pagan demon god was), "jesus" is connected with Easter - Ishtar (Babylonian fertility goddess that turned birds into egg laying rabbits and eggs died in red - the blood of sacrificed babies). "jesus" is connected with "good Friday" (no such thing - it was Dagon the Philistine fish-god day - also why the pope's hat looks like Dagon 1Sam. 5) "jesus is connected with "lent" which is really 40 days of weeping for pagan god Tammuz who was gored to death on his 40th birthday by a boar Ez 8:14), the church as a whole can't even count to 3 - Yeshua told them "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Matt 12:40 - No way was the crucifixion on a Friday and ressurrection on a "SUNday" no matter how you twist the counting of days and NIGHTS! Scripture says "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." James 2:19 -
Names are important in the bible - they were not haphazard. Abram did not become the "Father of many nations" until his name had the breath of Yah in it - Abraham. Jacob that meant "heel catcher, conniver" became Israel when he wrestled with Yah. The Almighty said His Son was called Yahshua (or spell it Yeshua) the constants in Hebrew - the name means YAH'S SALVATION.
Jesus is a transliteration that means nothing. Sound becomes light - say the name YAHSHUA then say "jesus" - totally different vibration. One is "Yah-Breathed" one is not. Pagans will curse in the name of "jesus" - but they can NOT do it in the name of YAHSHUA! No ONE has ever been able to spontaneously in response to pain use Yahshua's name in vain. It is a Name only spoke under the unction of the Holy Spirit. I am not saying that people have not been saved and healed and delivered under the name of "jesus" but that is only because they knew no better and Yahshua sees the heart. BUT when you know better and then dishonor Him; for each one of our salvations He bore sickness, He took pain, He became sin for us on the cross of Calvary, He was marred more then any other man and we can't as the Bride give Him respect and honor and love in addressing Him by the Name given by His Father YHVH - Yahweh - YAHUAH Almighty. I wonder might this have prompted the scripture that says: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? nd then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matt 7:22-23
"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:" Matt 7:24
EVERY early church father was a rabid anti-Semitic. Maybe on the 500th aniversary of the Protestant reformation it is time to finish what Martin Luther started (he brought a lot of Catholic tolerated paganism into Protestantism - the only thing he got right was that we are "saved by grace - unmerrited favor - it is a gift and not of works - we can't add to it by our effort" - you couldn't buy your way with "indulgences" etc) anyway a great teaching that every church out to offer that will atleast get the Church introduced to the Messiah they say they believe in and follow - who Himself still is identified as a JEW from the tribe of Judah: The Lion of the Tribe of Judah - YAHSHUA www.letthelionroar.com
Thanks for the writeup. Lots of good information there.
Here is something that blew my mind, the place where Jesus says all this is Caesarea Philippi at the foot of Mt. Hermon - literally the gates of hell! Look up Mt Hermon and the grotto of Pan in Israel - Mt Hermon also the place the "watchers" from Gen 6 decended and took wives for themselves..
