WORD, part 5
Let
us hear The Words of The LORD JESUS CHRIST :
The Great SHEMA
Matthew 22:37- 40 , Mark 12:29-31, and John 10
The LORD
JESUS said:
Thou shalt love The LORD thy GOD with all thy heart . . . with all thy soul . . . with all thy mind . . . and with all thy strength.
This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. There is no commandment greater than these.

As I understand the Bible, the true Messiah is a Hebrew (Rev 5:5). In the 1st 2 editions of the KJV Bible the messiah's name is Iesous. Further research reveals this came from Constantine in 325AD - the man who started the religion of Christianity. Biblical research reveals the true Messiah was a Nazarene and obeyed the Laws, the Feasts and the Sabbath. Research in the English language reveals the letter "J" was not in the English language 500 years ago. Do I follow a pagan religion or become a Bible man or Nazarene?
Dear Friend Rolly,
SCRIPTURE says that The LORD KNOWS them that are HIS+ !
2 Timothy 2:19
Nevertheless the foundation of GOD standeth sure, having this seal, THE LORD KNOWETH THEM THAT ARE HIS+. And, let every one that nameth the name of CHRIST depart from iniquity.
Scripture says The LORD Y'SHU+ ( in Aramaic ), YeSHUA+ ( in Hebrew) , 'ShU ( in another Eastern dialect ), JESU CRISTO ( in Spanish) , and JESUS CHRIST knows THEM that belong to HIM+.
Language is NOT a barrier to CHRIST, for HE+ made them all, but the issues of the heart are the barriers.
You are correct: the letter J did not at first enter the alphabet. It was originally the letter "I" , but the tail was added to distinguish it from the "I".
The Religious Jews at the time of CHRIST many times pointed out that HE+ did not keep the Laws like they did !
We know of at least one instance where HE+ did NOT attend the Passover, in John 6:4 . . . because HE+ HIMSELF WAS The PASSOVER LAMB+ and provided The LIVING BREAD from Heaven to feed the 5,000.
At one feast, HE+ went up LATER and what was HE+ doing? HE+ was teaching. Scripture is silent; we do not know if HE+ "kept" the feast and its observations or not. John 7: verses 2 and 6.
You are free, of course, to return to the Law of Moses; spiritual DISCIPLINE is good.
But, why not incorporate a CHRIST-centered discipline:
After MORNING PRAYER . . . then
--- Remembering the 3rd hour when CHRIST was crucified and lifted up from the earth to draw all men unto HIM+, with appropriate Psalms and Scriptures and worship
--- Stopping at noon , the 6th hour, for another set of Psalms and Scriptures and worship, when GOD darkened the earth,
--- and then Sending up your THANKS and Praise for HIS+ VICTORY at the 9th hour ( 3 p.m.), when CHRIST said , "IT IS FINISHED ! FATHER, INTO THY HANDS I COMMIT MY+ SPIRIT !"
And then do EVENING PRAYER at 6 p.m. and close up the day at 9 p.m. with Night time prayer.
And then, if you want a REALLY want a scintillating home, keep the Night Watches with CHRIST: midnight, 3 a.m., and 6 a.m. ! Your house will be GLOWING with the SPIRIT if you do this !
There is no way a person can keep ALL the Law, the 613 mitzvahs; we cannot even REMEMBER them all. Y'SHU+, ( YeSHUA+, JESUS ) told the LAW-observant Jews:
John 7: 19 Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keepeth the Law? Why go ye about to kill ME+ ?
But, if we RETURN to The LAW, then the Apostle Paul --- a good kosher Jew and Pharisee --- says we are NO LONGER UNDER GRACE. HIS+ GRACE. We are "earning" our righteousness.
Now, do not read this wrongly: Righteousness and HOLINESS are required of every Follower of JESUS. Now, though, we do not mechanically follow rules and duties.
NO, now we embed CHRIST'S WORDS into our heart.
Now we LIVE for CHRIST and DIE for CHRIST . . . we die to our Self first and then HE+ will use us to LIVE for HIM+.
NOW we LISTEN FOR THE LEADING of the HOLY SPIRIT, the SPIRIT of TRUTH Which will guide us into all RIGHTEOUSNESS.
This is why the tribal peoples or others who have heard the Gospel of Salvation through CHRIST JESUS can serve HIM+, well-pleasing, and lay down their lives so that others might be Saved.
They may not know Hebrew, Aramaic, nor Greek and Latin. They usually do not even have the Old Covenant. But they LIVE for CHRIST and DIE for HIM+.
That is what counts in the long run, isn't it ?
Philippians 3:9
And be found in HIM+, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of CHRIST, the righteousness which is of GOD by faith:

Thank you for your comment, dear friend. May The LAW OF CHRIST [ Galatians 6:2 ] live in your heart !

Dear friend Rolly,
Just an additional thought:
Constantine in 325 AD did NOT start Christianity.
Whatever your sources are for that statement are totally incorrect.
Nor did Constantine start the Christian "religion."
If you read carefully the New Covenant, you will discover Who+ sent out the first Apostles, after enduing them with power from on High. [ See Acts, chapters 1 and 2 ] .
The LORD Y'SHU+, YeSHUA+, JESUS, -- The Eternal WORD+ of YHWH -- spent 3.5 years training His+ hand-picked Disciples . They saw His+ miracles and heard His+ teachings. They recorded it for us .
They watched HIM+ be crucified and RISE AGAIN ! DEATH COULD NOT HOLD THE LIVING, GLORIFIED SON+ OF GOD !
They waited in Jerusalem until they were endued with the HOLY SPIRIT over-whelming them with tongues of fire upon each one and all in the Upper Room.
They EXPLODED out of that Upper Room to bring the Salvation message through the RISEN CHRIST to the whole world . . . through the Power of The HOLY SPIRIT, the RUACH ha KADOSH !
The Kosher Apostles Paul and James saw to it that order was established in the church.
Constantine was a political figure who appeared on the scene 325 years later.
CHRISTIANITY WAS WELL ESTABLISHED BY THAT TIME.
Indeed , it was SO well established that persecutions had already started against it.
The REASON the church may laud Constantine is BECAUSE he stopped the persecutions of the Christians , which were horrific.
The Christian Elders meeting at the Council of Nicea were scarred from their tortures, with eyes and limbs missing from the Roman government's attempts to force them to renounce The LORD JESUS.
They REFUSED to renounce CHRIST JESUS.
This was a political move by Constantine and it was long before the establishment of the Roman Catholic church as we know it today.
Better re-check your sources, dear friend.
Your statement was erroneous and simply perpetuated a biased lie.
Go Towards CHRIST.
Sincerely ,
in HIM+ WHO+ LOVED US
and washed us from our sins
in HIS+ own Blood . . .
