Taking Sides

So I’ve seen two things on television in the past few weeks that kinda bothered me.

On CBN one of the Q&A questions was if there is unity in the Church, why are some Christians advocating for vaccination for Covid 19 and some others opposing it. Pat Robertson’s response was why assume those against the vaccine are part of the Church, strongly suggesting they were not.

You’re about to get my judgment. I’ve seen the commentary on Daystar. There appears to be strong proof that the Covid vaccines are not safe. Why Pat Robertson is advocating for the vaccine I do not know. However, my view is if you want to exclude others, you should first examine yourself. You might be the one who is not part of the one unified Church.

On the Jim Bakker Show there was a woman advocating the modernized Jewish nuevo name of Jesus, Yeshua. She said she had a word from God concerning those who stand by the name Jesus. She said God told her that those that are his bride love his name. She basically said people who stand firmly by the name Jesus are not part of his bride.

Here’s my judgment. She’s a liar. God’s Son name is Jesus. Yeshua is a modern Jewishization of Jesus name so that the Jews can feel more comfortable with our God. If anyone is not part of the bride of Christ it would be her. There is no ancient text proving Jesus was ever called Yeshua.

Talking yourself out of something good, like the Church, is a real danger for some. It reminds me of the old saying, check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Any Other Name

These are a few things that bother me about what people are calling God these days. Admittedly, they may not bother the Lord, but they bother me.

Father God – I think this is mainly a Baptist creation, but we don’t say Son God or Holy Spirit God. Even though it may be an accurate description, Father God won’t be found in the KJV. Proper titles are Heavenly Father, Lord God Almighty, God the Father, Yahweh, and his name is Jehovah.

Holy Spirit – We’re so close we don’t have to say the in front of the title. It seems to imply a familiarity that I’m not sure really exists. Proper names are The Holy Spirit or The Holy Ghost.

Yeshua – To me Jesus will always be Jesus. I’m not entirely convinced Yeshua is even accurate. It seems to me to be a modern Hebrewization of the name Jesus. They say it’s historical Hebrew, but I haven’t seen any historical text were the name Yeshua is actually used in print. Proper names or titles are many: Jesus, Son of God, Rose of Sharon, Lion of the Tribe of Judah, The Messiah. I suppose there are more, but that’s all that come to mind at the moment.

Any Other Name

I noticed on Twitter someone complaining that Jesus Christ isn’t a name. I get it. I think years ago, I even pointed that out to someone in a conversation myself.

Technically it is a name and a title. But is it worth arguing about. I’m not so sure. There is only one Christ and many Jesus’s. The Holy Bible refers to him as Christ Jesus and Jesus Christ. Christ may not be a last name, but it is an identifier. I think as long as we know whom we are discussing it’s a bit of a moot point.

I personally do not care for the name Yeshua. To me it appears to be a modern Hebrewization of the name Jesus. I prefer the name Jesus, it’s what I grew up with. If you happen to hear of historical evidence Jesus was ever called Yeshua, please comment.
