was born. Some say the name Yeshua was invented by the Hebrew Roots and Sacred Name groups. But the Bible says differently.

Latin, the old Italia, was the spoken language of the Romans, who had earlier become Grecianized when they were conquered by the Greeks. Though Greek became their primary spoken language, it took much longer for their mother tongue of Latin to die. Latin was still very much a living language in the first centuries, as was Hebrew. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: grey;">When Jesus walked the earth, all three languages that were placed on the sign above his head while he hung on the cross, were <i>spoken</i> languages.

But he had access to the Hebrew scriptures as well. We still have the Hebrew Scriptures today, because God promised that HIS WORD would be preserved to <i>every</i> generation. that includes Jesus' generation and our generation.

themselves as the “remnant.” But biblically, the word remnant only refers to
Jews. There is only <i>one</i> Body of Christ, those who belong to Jesus and
have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them. And the Body of Christ is not
fragmented into “remnants” of those who are faithful and those not so much. The
Body of Christ is <i>one</i>. Those who do not have the Holy Spirit dwelling
within them, <i>do not have eternal life</i> and are <i>not of the Body</i>.
100% of those who are saved, belong to the Body of Christ. John assures those
of us who have Jesus that we have life, that we possess it <i>now</i>. We are
the Body of Christ, and it is impossible for THE BODY to be fragmented into
remnants.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Redemption-Bible-Prophecy-Simplified-Study/dp/170261946X" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Redemption: Bible Prophecy Simplified: A Study of HOPE: Andersen, Jocelyn: 9781702619462: Amazon.com: Books</span></a></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Redemption-Bible-Prophecy-Simplified-Study/dp/170261946X" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1003" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeMT3leJzmT8vFxsqqx3ZGE_MLKJcPPIn-xE2_Qqnej6unrgQhwuSN-aon1F_4gSwdxwOSt7o29Cr8iTAG1glK-CQwgPyr6YV7_IH0kqSfcE_N_6vRzyadPQSV1SUpJgB5pQNk9ignPQ6Ku1ZyexfhNYMOEq3NontxJVtz6o42kfZ3JRNK5Tyvt6mG7Y1T/w126-h200/BPS%20cvr%20HOPE.jpg" width="126" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #595959; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #595959; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=65000 lumo=35000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 166;"><br /></span><p></p>Jocelyn Andersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17172491437262657745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713576744781079819.post-46090640950112370912024-03-14T06:40:00.000-07:002024-03-14T06:40:30.368-07:00Joel 2:31<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #7F7F7F; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: lumm=50000; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: background1; mso-themecolor: background1; mso-themeshade: 128;"></span></i></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Redemption-Bible-Prophecy-Simplified-Study/dp/170261946X/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1392" data-original-width="2496" height="111" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuPfLcXMuvxQloCgA88q02tsi3Dm344zyjcp81zKxDaWiYNgjqWRRulQuI-KCa6RxpNUUCBBzW0E8QtOLcgBqohw68uFPMrTE817Dci2g-tuGvb04kT6IbEkxBwLtk0zZU4zYtJFG3AV9WQNj8YeF0vNzyiBeJ5NnQrFasxpG5mJyZqqCQY9kkJ969zAA8/w200-h111/Prophiecy%20Jesus%20EYE.png" width="200" /></a></i></b></div><b><i><br />31:</i></b><span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #7F7F7F; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: lumm=50000; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: background1; mso-themecolor: background1; mso-themeshade: 128;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The sun shall

dark, after the angelic powers fall, the sign of the Son of Man will appear in
the heavens <sup>Matthew 24:30. </sup>This will bring about the fulfillment of the

Is it a gender-based command? Is Paul’s reminder to selflessly love one another by preferring one another before ourselves a gender-based admonition? Was Peter’s reminder to love one another deeply a gender-based admonition? So how is it that husbands needing to be told to love their wives is somehow a good thing?</p><p style="--artdeco-reset-typography_getfontsize: 1.6rem; --artdeco-reset-typography_getlineheight: 1.5; background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-base-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: var(--artdeco-reset-typography_getLineHeight); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline); white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></p><p style="--artdeco-reset-typography_getfontsize: 1.6rem; --artdeco-reset-typography_getlineheight: 1.5; background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-base-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: var(--artdeco-reset-typography_getLineHeight); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline); white-space-collapse: preserve;">Only gender-biased-theology can transform a fulfillment of a cursed prophecy into a compliment.

Complementarian leaders point to this as proof that their doctrine is scriptural and that their unbiblical model of male governance “works.” Looking below the surface, it is often found that in practice, happy couples who give lip service to complementarianism actually live egalitarian lives. Others, such as in the case of [the late] Elisabeth Elliot, hide the authoritarianism and unhappiness in their marriages. Elliot was a life-long champion of male governance. Her marriages were all based on the complementarian model of females submitting to males. In her 1966 book, <i>Let Me be a Woman</i>, Elliot admitted to unhappiness in her marriage but refused to admit the reason for it. She advised her daughter that she should expect to cry for no reason, that women simply cry for “no reason.” I submit to you, that <i>no one</i> cries for no reason. </p><p style="--artdeco-reset-typography_getfontsize: 1.6rem; --artdeco-reset-typography_getlineheight: 1.5; background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-base-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: var(--artdeco-reset-typography_getLineHeight); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline); white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></p><p style="--artdeco-reset-typography_getfontsize: 1.6rem; --artdeco-reset-typography_getlineheight: 1.5; background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-base-border-zero); box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: var(--artdeco-reset-typography_getLineHeight); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline); white-space-collapse: preserve;">Thankfully, there are men do not fall for the complementarian siren song of male governance. Ephesians 5:28-33 is not meant for such men. Likewise, it is not meant for women who are married to such men. These wives need not fear their husbands.</p>Jocelyn Andersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17172491437262657745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713576744781079819.post-73781422388077111162024-03-06T07:19:00.000-08:002024-03-06T07:19:40.885-08:00Joel 2:17-b <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Redemption-Bible-Prophecy-Simplified-Study/dp/170261946X/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1003" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibjY-sOB3BLqtheMJPzf_8tX7irG82Dd_hjJgKEHQ1bzTdSgk1fIREej7WFUysQBCm4Gzd_2ejWJ17x-vHlrnnvcAggZA-Aqj8dVl2GH6D7Gw-OqBvFHuWycT4Srple0oS3TgJhyphenhyphenXHImFBs5XrmtgiHJ971hx1x1e8VFQ2AjXcB9vFjduvbt63ASvLzXel/w126-h200/BPS%20cvr%20HOPE.jpg" width="126" /></a></div><br /><b style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="color: grey; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: background1; mso-themeshade: 128;">17:</span></i></b><span style="color: grey; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Let the priests the ministers of <b><i>YHWH</i></b> weep between the

<b>Soul:</b> The body and the soul are not the same thing. Jesus made a difference
between the two. The soul is the part of us that is always alive whether the
body is dead or not. Jesus just said it. He said our bodies could be killed but
only God can kill the soul (i.e., bring true death, which is destruction <i>from</i>
<sup>separation from</sup> the presence and power of God <sup>2 Thessalonians
1:8-9</sup>). True death, according to Jesus, is not cessation of existence. <b>Gehenna:</b> This is surely not the Gehenna outside the city
where trash was burned, as it was not possible for that Gehenna to destroy the
soul. Jesus said the soul is the part of us that lives on after the body is
killed.

means to die. The <i>bodies</i> of Believers only sleep in death until the
resurrection—their souls do not sleep <b><sup>2 Corinthians 5:6-8</sup></b>. It
is written that it is appointed to mortals <b>once</b> to die, and after that,
the judgement <b><sup>Hebrew 9:27</sup></b>. There will be no extra chances via
reincarnation. But wait, Paul wrote that we would <i>not</i> all die. This
appears to be a brand-new revelation, something that had never been written
before. Yet the preacher in Ecclesiastes wrote that there was nothing new under
sun, and Isaiah wrote that there would be no <i>new </i>light <b><sup>Isaiah
8:19-20</sup></b>, that unless something had <i>already</i> been written, the
writer of any so-called, <i>new light</i> had <i>no light</i> in them. Yet Peter
compared Paul’s letters to scriptures <b><sup>2 Peter 3:16</sup></b>, and Paul wrote
in them, what appears to be <i>new</i> light. Paul was not given new light in
the sense of things brand new that had never been <i>written</i> in the Law and
the Prophets, which Jesus appealed to when he was tempted by Satan <b><sup>Matthew
4:4-10</sup></b>. Paul was given an abundance of revelation <b><sup>2
Corinthians 12:7</sup></b> into that which had <i>already been written</i>. The
rapture? Enoch was<b> not found</b>. His mortality was changed to immortality.
Enoch was caught up. Regarding the Body of Christ, Paul was given revelation into
Enoch’s blessing, that his experience of not dying, that Enoch's experience of being caught up <b><sup>1

They were a free people under the theocracy of the GOOD Lord. The lords/gods of
the nations surrounding them were not good. They required human sacrifice. <i>YHWH
Elohim</i> did not. HE was the creator of their nation <b><sup>Isaiah 43:1</sup></b>
and their king, but though they were promised great blessings, they wanted none
of it. They wanted to be like all the other people of their world and serve an
autocrat. Why didn’t they simply demand that Samuel depose his corrupt sons? …or
perhaps they had and Samuel had refused. Either way, it was a bad situation,
and the elders of Israel certainly had a better choice than to demand such a radical
change of government.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

heads and growing hair long are holy things reserved for taking the Nazarite
Vow (Numbers 6:5). Sampson was a life-long Nazarite. That's why he lost his
strength after cutting his hair. It broke the vow. It is likely that Samuel and
John the baptizer were Nazarites as well. It is probable that Anna the
prophetess took the vow of the Nazarite before entering life-long service in
the temple. She was respected in the beginning as a Nazarite and later as a
prophetess.</span><i><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: red; font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

It
is perfectly Ok for any other man to marry a widow or one who has been
divorced. In Israel, every woman who was put away (driven out) was not divorced
and free to marry. Husbands often by-passed the expense of the divorce
settlement by driving out one wife and taking another without freeing the rejected
wife. Moses, because of the hardness of these men’s hearts, allowed for divorce
<sup>Mark 10:2-9</sup>. But Moses did not allow putting away a wife without
divorcing her (and divorce in Israel included a divorce settlement). Wives, who
were driven out without divorce settlements, were forced to live as though they
were divorced but with no support from their treacherous husbands <sup>Malachi
2:15-16</sup>. If the wife who was driven out married another, she and her new
“spouse” would, in the eyes of God, be guilty of adultery <sup>Luke 16:18</sup>.
But wives who were divorced were free to marry. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

denominations forbid women to cut their hair, but, according to Ezekiel, it is
not a sin for women to cut their hair. It is just the opposite. It is a sin for
anyone <i>not</i> to refrain from cutting or trimming their
hair. Aside from taking a Nazarite vow, it is sinful (in not recognizing
that which is holy) to grow hair long without ever trimming it. Additionally,
the Nazarite vow was for both women and men (Numbers 6:2). </span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

are <i>required</i> to shave their heads at the beginning and end of
each vow, just as men are. Both men and women are forbidden to cut their hair
during the vow. But, also, both men and women are forbidden to apply the holy
practice (of not cutting hair) in a common way—<i>forbidden</i> to apply
the holy practice of growing hair without cutting or trimming as a common
every-day practice. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
