I think that part of what he is saying is that contrary to some folks fears of a "one world government" that such a thing could actually be used by God to spread the gospel.

Did Shiloh do this? >>>Where does one get off telling us gentiles we must use the Hebrew Name Yeshua? If I am reading the passage below correctly he said: >>>Now is it that big of a deal that we also refer to Him as Jesus? I do not think so, but we need to at least acknowledge what His real name is. I believe that people are saved if they pray to Yeshua or Jesus. He knows who they are talking to. (Sorry I am new here and don't know how to use the nifty quote thingy.) Peace brethren, Viki

Having grown up in a "once saved always saved tradition" and then later being discipled by "falling from grace" folks, I went to the Lord and asked Him which idea was right. I expected that He would answer through His word as I sought Him. Initially I could only go back and forth in trying to decide which camp I fit into, but all He would say is "Just trust Me". I have since realized that I have no control or decision making capability about anyone's salvation but my own, and since in this life only today is promised, and the Bible clearly states that "Today is the day of salvation" that all the scenerios I can think of are fruitless for me. Am I saved today? When I am convicted of sin in my life I have the opportunity to let my heart be contrite and repent or to resist the Spirit. I have made both choices in the past, but "Today is the day of salvation" Is my conscience clear? Am I rejecting his favor and mercy and love today? Love you all, Viki

It can be so maddening when dealing with addicts. A practicing addict can do all sorts of weird stuff and then you feel like you are the crazy one. (But then sometimes we are) Anyway, one thing that really helped me when I would see people doing mean selfish and outlandish things and seemingly getting away with it was Ps. 73. Because when it comes right down to it, the only person I can really do anything about is me. Hope this helps.....
