Re: I don't think Yahshua cares if folks call him Jesus
Hi Rudi,
I know that Yahshua is the same name for Joshua, and Jesus, and most Christians don't, but that is not the same as saying that Jesus is Michael the archangel. Jesus is the son of God, or the second person of the God head, or the holy one of Israel, and many other names, but He is not an angel. Lucifer was an angel, and he fell, because of pride. Jesus is God in the flesh. He is not even close to an angel. I love you Rudi, but saying that Jesus and Michael are in any way the same, isn't correct.
However you are right, Jesus Loves us no matter what. But it isn't His love that matters in salvation, it is ours. He gave us the right to choose. It is our responability to respond to His love. He won't force His will on us at this time, for He wants our love, not just our obedience. If we love Him, we want to obey. But it is our hearts He longs for, not our head. I love you all I hope this post helps clarify this question. :-) eggface
