pwnz0r SG Dear Breytonhartge, I see that you run quite an interesting forum and have numerous interesting posts. I am hoping to get a little background from you, to better understand where you are coming from with all these ideaologies.
pwnz0r SG Again, this is subjective. Your tone and message seems to be strongly coated with messages of Yang Tuck Yoong, of Cornerstone.
breytonhartge SG who?? have not been living in Singapore for over 12 years now... so i apologise if I do not know who this person is... like I said, any believer who returns fully to a biblical perspective would be saying similar things to what I am saying as well.
breytonhartge SG my turn pwnz0r, what is your interest in all of this and where do you see this going?
pwnz0r SG I agree on most of the issues you brought up. It seems that you enjoy having the same perspectives as the Jews to view God as the Lord, rather than as the Father. To a certain extent, you revel in the impersonality of God as being regarded as Yahweh. You do know that the term Yahweh is considered a Christianised bastardisation of the Tetragrammaton? I do not have any direction on a forum such as this. I have no goals to achieve here. I just enjoy reading some of your posts. I just wanted to know about your background further for further insights. You must note that saying 'biblical perspective' can be applied to many many different views. It is easy to say that, but ultimately, the means could possibly result in many different ends. It is really an old standby in theological discussions, one that i do not enjoy pursuing.
breytonhartge SG thanks for clarifying... I am aware that Yahweh is an english bastardisation of the Tetragrammation... when I say biblical perspective I mean what is written according to the Holy Scriptures or as the christians say OT. I don't know if I would go so far as to revel in the imporsanality of Hashem, even with a jewish perspective, Hashem was never impersonal to them. He was always close, and sometimes too in your face that is why they got Moses to talk to Him... Hashem is very personal to me, to whom I call Abba, but I am also very acutely aware of having the fear and reverence of the LORD. Glad you stopped by and please feel free to contribute or to debate if you so desire..
Yaffa SG Jews have always referred to God as "Avinu" or "our Father", they also call Him Adonai (my Lord), HaShem (The Name), Elohim (God) and many others...
vince69 SG Hee hee, may I shoot one arrow? May I request for a list of the names of God and their meaning? Thanks
Yaffa SG Wow, there are really plenty, just the ones starting with "Avinu" are countless!! Just for example, "Avinu Malkenu" (Our Father our King), Adon Olam (Lord of the world), Adonai Tzevaot (my Lord of hosts), Adonai Eloheinu (my Lord our God)...
vince69 SG actually I am refering to how the Jews refer to God (the names used and their meaning) sorry
