Serving God in Spirit and in Truth
ETAYou may be asking, "Why do they use a Greek Name?", "Why don't they call themselves Church of God?", "What does that mean?", etc.
The bottom line is God led us to use "Ecclesia Theos At..." We have been called to use this name in these latter times just as the New Testament Church was called to use this name in the times of the apostles.
(Acts 20:28)
(1 Corinthians 1:2)
(1 Corinthians 10:32)
(1 Corinthians 11:22)
(1 Corinthians 15:9)
(2 Corinthians 1:1)
(Galatians 1:13)
(1 Timothy 3:5)
The use of this Greek term symbolizes the following facts:
The New Testament Message was written in Greek to reach a Greek world. The apostles and disciples traveled to spread the good news. They traveled far and wide. They did not believe in sitting still waiting for people to come to them. They did not believe in hiding the truth. They knew they had a commission To Go to all nations, telling them to repent and to be baptized in the name of Jesus the Christ. To your surprise, I am a Jew. As a Jew, I do not feel a need to speak Hebrew to be Holy. I do not feel a need to speak Hebrew in order to serve the supreme deity. I would that people stop speaking all this Hebrew. God loves all races, all peoples, all nations and He gives the message to both the Hebrew and the Gentile. If you are Jewish, you can speak Jewish. If you are Gentile, you can speak Gentile. Now, even though America as a country is not gentile but Israelite, many of the individual people are gentile physically. But we are all Jews spiritually but you still do not have to or need to pretend that you are a physical Jew by speaking Hebrew. Paul was a Roman Jew with a message to the gentiles, spoke Greek and wrote Greek. If your natural language is English, well then speak English. Elijah is going to return the hearts of the children and Fathers NOT return the language! Slalom Sabbot is no holier than "Happy Sabbath"! Get over it! Revelation 2 and 3 message to the churches warns against those that say they are Jews but are not. Instead of focusing on Hebrewic Roots, we need to return our focus on the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Lord and King of all peoples, Jesus the Christ. What's the message? Is the language the message? Forgive me if I sound sour or rude But people are getting their focus wrong. How many hours have you spent learning a language? Wouldn't that time have been better spent helping the poor, needy, homeless or spreading the Gospel (Good News) of the Kingdom of God which is a message of Love for all peoples including the Gentiles. Some people have accused me of being reclusive, that is to not include people, to distance people from the gospel due to my stance against the "Hebrewic Roots" and "sacred names" doctrines. But God says that I'm being inclusive, including peoples of all nations, races and tongues. I say the word "Yeshua" and "Yahweh" sometimes. But I don't use those terms every time. Jesus is VERY acceptable to me. People think that because God is Great, that He only has one name. That is so laughable! The greater someone is, the MORE names they have! After you are turned into Spirit aren't you also going to receive a New Name! How many different titles and names are listed in the Bible for God? Dozens! Look at the kings and presidents of the earth. They have many names. The more important someone is, the more names they have!
