Have we forsaken God as a nation? – It’s a contemplative question we should consider if we are Christians. If you’ve read the Bible, studied it for anytime, you know that God is holy and righteous and as such He does not suffer immorality forever. Ye…

Just assume we’re different in how we view humanity, and let that be that.

So as Christians, what should we do? The answer is in 2 Chronicles 7:14. God says, “If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, THEN will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Seems like we have some work to do!

“First I had to agree with Him that it was okay that He chose to allow a man that I loved and trusted to abuse me as a seven year old girl. It took me quite awhile to wrap my brain around that! God called me to AGREE with Him that it was okay…to understand that God is sovereign over good and bad, and that He works ALL things for good.”

Yvonne, I’m glad that you have overcome the pain in your past. But I cannot bear the thought of God predetermining that an innocent child should be abused, any more than I can believe that God “wills” or “allows” people like George Tiller to kill unborn babies. Even if we view suffering as a redemptive situation, it is still (in my view) very wrong to place the responsibility for all suffering on a predetermined “plan” of God.

I have never achieved the opprobrium of being “tacky” before. I will reflect upon it. Are there sources outside of yourself to consult?

Let it go.

I’m full aware of how words are used as tools and have engaged with all manner of people, of high and low intellect, morals, and motivations, because I use them very well myself.

“Redeeming every person” in the world is not what Father Yahweh calls ANYONE to do, because redemption comes from Him, not me.

Also unless you are an agent of haSatan who would deny me the seat at ANY table, as so many historically and presently see fit to do, that is YOUR call, but to say I’m forfeiting anything is presumptuous, at best. Not to mention that in my opinion, dining at the ‘political’ table is not the objective in any sacred or secular society, has very little honor, other that the Republic DOES as it IS. (NOMENCLATURE ASIDE)

Just because you say it’s not a criticism, doesn’t mean that it’s not, and logic is in the mind of the purveyor.

There are three levels of behaviors that occur when people of our differing proclivities engage when it comes to matters of politics, justice, equality, and democracy in this Republic. (And you’ve seen it with my encounters with the respondent known is Trish)

Tacky
Trashy
Terroristic

None of those behaviors are generally instigated by people of my persuasion. Right now it’s becoming Tacky. Can we commit to not letting it get any further, sir?

I have no question with your motivation, beliefs or good works. My comments were simply that your obedience to (the creator) is an individual matter among competing individual choices in a representative democracy.

In the long haul, perhaps you can have an active hand in redeeming every person in the country so that “the government of this land, and it’s agents, acknowledge His plan.”

Meanwhile, it is partisan politics as usual that controls the game. If you choose not to play, that is your call. But, by making that decision, you are forfeiting your seat at the political table.

That is only a statement of logic. Not a criticism. I wish you the best in your ministry.

Pedat says

Yes it is a little off topic, but..

1. “Christians” use the title as his NAME and that is false. They also use L-ORD [in all caps] which is also false, because they were merely replacements for the Tetragrammaton [YHWH] in scripture. The use of J-hovah is false as well. I hyphenate them when quoting others to keep them in context.

2. You’re referring to the ‘Ineffable Name Doctrine was put in place to keep gentiles and others outside Israel from breaking the 3rd Commandment. I can understand why they may have done it, because gentiles abuse the sanctity and sacredness of Scripture. Nonetheless neither Father Yahweh, Moses, Y’Shua, or any of the Apostles or Elders promoted this doctrine. It’s Rabbinical paternalism and dogma passed off as Torah, and it’s false. Only so-called “jews” use HaShem, which is their right, but it’s not Torah. You break the commandment not only when you replace it with a false name, but evoke it falsely.

For example, look at Isaiah 42:8 from the KJV of the Bible.

“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.”

How can LORD be someone’s name? It can’t. It’s ridiculous, and this is all throughout the modified texts. The word that was originally used there is YHWH which was replaced by Adonai, which then became LORD. This is why people don’t know His name. I can also give you hundreds of scriptures where it says to CALL upon His name, but you can’t call upon it, if you don’t know it.

As such ALL of mankind is free to use his name, if they know it. There are no restrictions on it, just don’t use it falsely.

If you have any more questions, feel free to email me (pedatebediyah@gmail.com), because this blog is about politics, not theology.

The real concern should be whether or not I am in the business of promoting justice and correctness at all times in all places in the known universe for all people without exception. This is where people categorically (believers and heathens) fall short, and is of more immediate importance than what name one uses.

It would be great if no woman ever wanted an abortion. But I believe it would be worse if it was totally illegal and women were forced to have dangerous ‘back alley’ abortions like back in the day.

People are hypnotized with Obamamania and his Obammunism. Good fodder for Obama posters here. Posters about him reflect this puppy dogs, doves and rainbows feeling. The Obama Utopia.

If Obama can stay pretty clean, do some good things as Senator, and then become Governor of IL, he could be unstoppable in 2012 or 2016. Scary stuff.

I would dearly love to see a Jewish, African-American woman as POTUS. It’s not race or gender that makes it for me though. It’s political beliefs that matter, and socialism is bad for everybody, (accept those high in government or high-level academia) especially poor people, of all races. Obama is a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist, no thanks.

His ‘Change’, ‘Hope’ and ‘Progress’ mantras are actually somewhat self-mocking. Making your own Obama posters is totally addicting.
I laughed so hard I almost had a breakdown. LOL!

This is a little off-topic, but it concerns me. You keep writing about “Yahweh”, but you wrote “God” with a hyphen, deleting the vowel. Now, “God” is not the name of God; it’s a descriptive term. The name of the Lord in the Torah is YHWH. The vowels are not supplied. This name was not to be spoken; when it appeared in Scripture, the reader was to substitute, “The Lord.” “Yahweh” and “Jehovah” are names that speculate what the vowels in YHWH might have been.
But if you believe that “Yahweh” is the true name of the Lord, then it is THAT name, not “God”, an English word,that you should delete the vowels from.

“When [G-d] asks you on Judgment Day what you believed during your lifetime about abortion, what will you tell him?”

He already knows what I believe. The question is how did my Faith translate into His works. Hopefully He won’t ask me anything, but tell me that He “knew me” even when I rejected Him.

Is that what I eschew, in your opinion?

Pedat Ebediyah is my Hebrew name and Yahweh is formal name of the god of the Bible and his son’s name is Y’Shua. There are no other names in heaven and earth that matter, nor do they have any power whatsoever.

But what does that have to do with me wanting a theocracy and not having a voice?

On the contrary, just because I don’t brag about being a “conservative” or “liberal” or “Christian” as if any of those things are all that special, doesn’t mean I don’t have a voice.

My voice, my teaching in the Body of Y’Shua the Messiah is that which, with the help of the set-apart Spirit, has brought countless of people to the Messiah, cleaned up some of the ugliest elements of certain communities, helped countless number of people restore marriages and families, helped people transform their physical bodies by renewing their minds about their consumption and folly, and moreover working through the present disparities in replacement theology and bringing people out of it’s lawlessness into a renewed devotion and obedience to Yahweh’s precepts.

The reason why people abort babies is more complex than extreme contraception, it’s because society is BROKEN as a whole, and there are very few houses of worship that has His name on it, nor does the government of this land, and it’s agents, acknowledge His plan.

I don’t eschew partisan politics, it just doesn’t define me as it does the majority of conservative and to a lesser extent, liberal believers. They give Him a bad name.
