The Body is the Outer Garment
The Soul is the Inner Garment
The Anger is what is Clothed
The Spirit--the Ruach, the Breath--
Is the Life and the Beauty of the entire organism.
The relationship of Father and Son is an
important focus of the Gospel of John, and the names commonly used in
English translations make it much more difficult to understand what is
intended than an honest, consistent translation of names were given. The
story of Hosea ben Nun, who was called to assist Moses, whose name was
changed (according to King James) to Joshua, then to Jehoshua is the
story of the man of the gospels, who did not come in his own name,
whatever that might have been, but in the name given to him be the
Father. That name is more honestly written in English as Y'shua. The
name Y'shua (Joshua) refers to the man listed in Matthew 1:16, the man
who said, "It is enough for the servant to be AS his Lord." The name of
the heavenly messiah, then, would be rendered as Yahushua (Jehoshua).
We are saved by faith, not by knowledge or
practice. I make the distinction to avoid confusion.
