Mitspa, you're a good man from what I can tell, but this is where we will disagree, in one making claims the ten commandments were nailed to the cross. Those ten commandments are the very foundation of all the law, and written by the finger of Yah, who does not change.
Of course the 10 are the foundation of the Mosaic Law. No problem with that here. That's a fact.
Jews can retain that all they want.
But us Christians live by the agreement of the apostles AND the Circumcision in
Acts 15:10-12 (KJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP] Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
[SUP]11 [/SUP] But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
[SUP]12 [/SUP] Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
The "all" included the Jews promoting Moses upon Gentiles.
God shut the Jews up. That was their end, put back upon them for themselves.
Ever since then the Circumcision, those insisting on Judaism, have resorted to behind our back guerrilla warfare. They have sought through the ages to this day to subvert that agreement, looking for any way to claim Gentile Christians back to their religion. Jesus ended the need for "religion".
Anyone promoting anything peculiar to the Jews, pressing it upon the non-Jewish believers, is of Satan. The children of Satan must detract from the Lord Jesus. That includes demanding their name of God be conformed to. That name was not negotiable in Acts 15.
THE reason Jews insist on their Hebrew name of God is an attempt to halt anyone from calling upon Jesus' name for salvation.
I say to that SALAMI, SALAMI, Baloney.
Jews and Gentiles alike must call upon the SON of God, JESUS, for salvation. Not Yehovah, or whatever it is insisted upon.
The Father God has placed
Jesus at the helm of man's salvation. Do not risk your salvation looking to the FATHER GOD for salvation. He will not honor that.
1 Corinthians 6:11 (KJV)
[SUP]11 [/SUP] And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Philippians 2:10 (KJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Colossians 3:17 (KJV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
