The Communion of Saints: Updated 1/3/2015





Happy New Year! I recognize that not everyone celebrates the new year on January 1. I understand that there are many different calendars than the Gregorian Calendar. In Israel, their calendar is not by the sun, but by the moon and the year is around 5775. For us Christians the Gregorian Calendar is helpful because it has been 2015 years or 2015 A.D. since Jesus Christ died upon the cross and rose from the dead! So I appreciate the different calendars, I like the Jewish Calendar because I believe it is closer to the actual age of the Earth and I obviously adore the Gregorian Calendar because it dates back to Jesus Christ.

I have been pondering what to post for the the new year and having considered many subjects I have decided to do something more than just share. It seemed good to me and the Holy Spirit (Acts 15:28), to offer my email address. I am fully aware it could be found somewhere in my blogger profile, but there is a difference between availability and invitation. I offer an open communication to any Christian or seeker to contact me via the email address below: 
 
sirjeffreyblogger@yahoo.com 

When you send an email please title it blogger or blogger believer,  so that if it goes to spam I will know it is from a brother and sister or a seeker of the Lord who reads this blog. 

Feel free to contact me with questions, to seek someone to pray with, to discuss and debate, to share encouragement with and share needs with. I want to hear your thoughts and your insights! For we are all One Body, but many different parts and thus we each have something to offer, something unique to add, and definitely important to contribute.
 
Do not hesitate to send me emails if you do not speak and write English. Thanks to Google Translate and other tools I can translate anything written in Arabic, Africana, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Italiano, Irish, Japanese, Russian, Mandarin, Scottish, Spanish, Swedish, Taiwanese, Ukrainian, and many more! 
 
The Holy Scriptures say, "do not neglect the communion (assembly) of believers and encourage one another." (Hebrews 10:25). Many interpret this to be a command to go to Sunday meeting, but I believe followers of Christ need more than a few hours or minutes together in a public meeting. We need to support each other and share each others burdens. 
 
We our a family of all races, cultures, ethnic groups, nationalities, countries, colors and sizes in Christ Jesus! We need each other and it is my heart in this new year to connect and help in the ways I can. So please feel free to contact me via the email link I shared. I get email to my phone, so I can be ready to pray and ponder the deep mysteries of Christ. If you are not yet a believer, please contact me and we can discuss questions and etc. 

Addendum:

Please note I am not expecting anyone to feel compelled to contact my email (note the email listed is merely for this purpose), it is merely there if you want prayer support and to discuss anything on the blog and etc.

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. The...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few peop...
