For unto us a Child is born

      Nicodemus a Jewish religious leader approached Yeshua in secret one evening.
Therein prompted the biblical cornerstone of Yeshua's message. Listen to Yeshua's
words to Nicodemus. Here was a learned religious leader, a member of the Sanhedrin.
Nicodemus was a member of Israel's highest, most prestigious court and a recognized
expert in the Mosaic law. Yeshua said bluntly

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again,[a] you cannot see the 
Kingdom of God.” ~ John 3:3

followed by, Christ's Message and Mission to the world
 
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone 
who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world
 not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
18 “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not 
believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.

~John 3:16-18 

I have often wondered why the message of Yeshua is still rejected, distorted and maligned
by generations since. Perhaps the reason is, Yeshua himself, remarked in Matthew 19


13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could lay his hands on 
them and pray for them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him.
14 But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of 
Heaven belongs to those who are like these children. 15 And he placed his hands
on their heads and blessed them before he left.

~Matthew 19:13-15

Characters, Myths or Hidden Meanings

Characters in Languages have hidden meanings. One of the earliest forms of scripts originate from the Sinai Dessert. The Proto-Canaanites 1500 B.C.E developed their letters by drawing pictures. These pictures evolved into characters. Ancient languages began with pictures and evolved into characters. The Hebrew and Arabic Semitic Cultures evolved differently. Some words share the same root sounds.

Eg

Salaam in Arabic سلام

or

Shalom in Hebrew שלום


Others derive totally different meanings for similar sounding words. 


For example, the name Allah 'The God' in Arabic

 الله
 
has a total different meaning in Hebrew
 

קללה

The transliteration is Qof, Lamed,Lamed, Heh which literally means to 'Curse' (allah)

Is this a Coincidence or is it Supernatural. Many Muslim Apologists like to claim that when 
Yeshua  cried out on the cross  

Matthew 27:46 in Greek "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani" ~ (my God My God why have you forsaken me).

He was referring to Allah. If that were so. Yeshua would have been blaspheming to the Lord. 
My friend Parameswara2 was trying to convince me that was the case. Hence, my interest in 
the Hebrew language by his use of 'slight of hand'.  Attached are some clips of the Name of 
God. What do you think?

God, Heaven and Hell

         What happens after life? What do different Religions say about it. Is it true and what do we make of it. Everyone has different opinions. It is interesting that the Abrahamic Religions believe in, describe Heaven and Hell differently. Yeshua mentions about many mansions in his Father's house when he talks about Heaven. In the Middle East it is common place for the father of newly wedded couples to build an extension to his home welcoming his Son and Daughter.

  In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ~ John 14:2

         Hell is total separation from Yeshua.  Heaven and Hell, well here are some accounts of what Heaven and Hell is like.
