Most 7th Days my self and my wife help out at Project Hosanna, generally I am the wardrobe gatekeeper. All the volunteers
wear name badges and what strikes me is that among the many different nationalities of homeless people whom we serve, the
fact remains that my name is Michael, whether it be a Russian or a Greek, Polish or Portuguese, Lithuanian, or any other nationality,
these good people will pronounce my name as they see it written on my badge, ok, the pronunciation may vary, but there is
no mistaking the name Michael which comes from their lips. These people who we are to serve, don't see the name Michael,
then call me by a different name. They don't call me Melvin, or Martin, or Miguel, or Neville, or any other name, they
call me Michael.
So, what am I getting at here?!
Why do we call YHWH by any other name? Why have
we been taught in the church that the Name of YHWH is "the LORD"? or "I AM"? or "God"?
In these days of hi-tec computer technology and the continued advancement of the world wide web, those confessing to be Christians
should be reading the Scriptures, studying the Scriptures, and researching the Scriptures. Through careful study and prayer,
the people of YHWH, will soon be acknowledged by our Father who reigns in the Heavens, and though it is true you may find
the teaching difficult, the findings a little hard to swallow, you will soon come to realise the teaching in the main stream
churches is a little way off the mark.
