Physical Name versus Spiritual Intent
A TSN and Shamar Briyth Message
(Refined 7-10-2005)
Would Yahweh
put
a physical
utterance or a name
above
Spiritual Intent?
Acts 4:12
12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other
name under heaven, that is given among men, in which we must be
saved!"
Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore Yahweh also highly exalted him (Yahshua), and gave to
him the name which is above every (fleshly) name;
10 that at the name of Yahshua every knee would bow, of those in
heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
11 and that every tongue would confess that Messiah Yahshua is
KURIOS (Highest in Authority under Yahweh), to the glory of Yahweh,
the Father.
Romans 8:13-14
13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you
put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of Yahweh, these are "Children
of Yahweh" (Elohim or Sons of G-d).
Galatians 5:18
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the
(condemnation of the) law.
Note: This is because you cannot have the Holy Spirit (mind
set) of Yahweh and be in conflict with Torah (Law) at the same
time.
Note: This is just enough of the verse to see that the context
here is that it is Yahweh's Righteousness Seeking Spirit that
Leads, that Yahweh's Spirit cannot come to each of us prior to
our physical birth, and so must come after physical birth, during
our lifetime, and to whom Yahweh chooses; that it is Yahweh's
Righteousness Seeking Spirit that leads Yahweh's chosen to
ALL Truth (usually over a period of time).
Now, with all of this having been said, and recalling that the primary cause
for the confusion centers around the Name versus Title issue; The word
"God" and the word "Elohim" aren't even Names, but are simply
descriptive titles, which must be qualified by their usage within the context
of a message. Therefore, not only does Acts 4:12 and Philippians 2:9-11 not
apply to names as a written word or utterance, but can't possible apply to
titles (non-name descriptions); especially ambiguous titles that can and have
been applied to many various beings and entities other than Yahweh.
As for Yahshua (Y'shua), the following verse pretty much sums up the
thought on his name or title. Why? Because since one can be readily
forgiven for deliberately speaking against Yahshua (the son of man). Just how
offensive can it be, when no offense is implied? For it is not the action that
is offensive to Yahweh or Yahshua, but the sinful intent of ones heart (Self-
centered Mentality or Intention).
Matthew 12:32
32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven
him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit (of Righteousness), it
will not be forgiven him, neither in this world nor in that which is to
come.
Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit,
of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and
intents of the heart.
Matthew 6:5-6
5 "When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to
stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that
they may be seen by men. Most assuredly, I tell you, they have
received their reward.
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber (closet), and
having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your
Father (Yahweh) who sees in secret will reward you openly.
So what are we as evangelists, witnesses or ministers supposed to do?
1 Corinthians 3:1-3
Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to
babes in Messiah Yahshua .
2 I fed you with (Spiritual) milk, not with (Spiritual) meat; for you
weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,
3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and
factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways
of men?
There is a Spiritual Truth at work here, and once we truly grasp this Truth,
our ability to answer almost any Spiritual question becomes possible. That
Spiritual Truth is simply that Yahweh will NEVER place any physical
observance or requirement above a sincere and loving Spiritual Intent to
follow said physical observance or satisfy said requirement, even if that
intent results in error. This is because Yahweh knows that, those who love
him enough to sincerely try to become obedient, are the very same people
who will immediately correct their error upon discovery of their error. Why
is this always true? Because these are those people whose lives are Yahweh-
Centered and not Self-centered. These are those people who always attempt
to do the "Will of Yahweh," and, therefore have the "Mind of Yahweh,"
which is His Holy Spirit. These are those people that can be entrusted not to
abuse power and authority (Just Exactly Like Yahshua). You can readily apply
this Spiritual Truth to "Circumcision," to "Sacred Calendar Dates" or any
area where Satan (Human Nature) has managed to introduce chaos and
ambiguity. However, deliberate disobedience is a different story, because in
this case the intent would be to disobey, and the result of that disobedience
(rebellion against Righteousness) would be sin.
In our zeal to honor our Creator, Yahweh, and Praise our elder brother,
Yahshua, let's not forget that once we too were Spiritual Babes. So, in
reality, is it the physical utterance of words that brings honor to Yahweh and
Yahshua or is it living a Spiritual life that revolves around obedience through
love to Yahweh's "Laws of Love" (The Spiritual Torah)? We pray that we
don't need to tell you the answer.
Again, having said all of this, it should always be the intent of our hearts to
honor, worship, and praise Yahweh using His correct name (Yahweh); For by
our action of worship through Love (1 Corinthians 13:all verses) we Glorify
not only Yahweh, but His name (reputation) as well.
Besides, do we not know that "ELOHIM" does not simply refer to Yahweh,
but to The Entire Family Of YHWH, including Yahweh's "Chosen
Children." Strong's wrongly calls them gods and goddesses, but we know
them as Spiritual "IMAGES" of Yahweh.
