Follower of Jesus (Iēsous), seeking the true Father, loving Scripture, truth, and freedom, unafraid of the heretic label, exposing the adversary.

It's fascinating that when Paul was confronted on the way to Damascus and he asked who was speaking to him... the answer was JESUS (not YHWH);

...suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus..."

- Ac 9:3–5

Whenever "the LORD" spoke to someone in the OT he gave them his name... told them exactly who he was. But no "YHWH" this time, no "I am", no "I am the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob", nothing like that, here are some examples;

- Ex 3:13-15 - "I AM" / "the LORD" [YHWH] to Moses.

- Ex 6:2-3 - "the LORD" [YHWH] reaffirmed to Moses.

- Ex 34:5-7 - "the LORD" [YHWH] proclaimed to Moses.

- Gn 17:1 - "God Almighty" [El Shaddai] to Abraham.

- Gn 35:9-11 - "God Almighty" [El Shaddai] to Jacob.

Some additional content:

“I am the Lord [YHWH]. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty [El Shaddai], but by my name the Lord [YHWH] I did not make myself known to them.

- Ex 6:2–3.

This interaction with Paul though would have been the perfect opportunity to set the record straight to a zealous Jew (who was rounding up followers of Jesus for prosecution) - he simply could have told Paul that he was YHWH "in the Flesh" (Angel of YHWH etc) - and to stop persecuting "his [new] people", but no, that is NOT what happened.

Instead, Paul heard it declared loud and clear that the one who was speaking to him was JESUS.

Now this is a great one

Great discussion on Derek Podcast on Marcions' Evangelion being the first Gospel (and not a redaction of Luke) with Dr Markus Vinzent, Dr Mark Bilby and Jack Bull https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JvwSniyb9U

Jesus was crystal clear that no one knew His Father before Him, and only through Him do you know the Father.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”- Jn 14:6–7

Everyone else are frauds;

"All who came before me are thieves and robbers..."

- Jn 10:8

Who came before Jesus?

That would be the Father/God of the Jews; YHWH.

Jesus told us exactly who this entity was;

"You are of your father the devil..."

- Jn 8:44

Follow Jesus.

Start listening to Jesus, become a truth seeker.

And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

- Lk 11:9–10

Which way Christian? 🤔

Did you know that the first commentary on ANY Gospel was on Marcions’ Gospel?

Origen (185-254 AD) wrote commentary on the canonical Luke/Matthew/John, but before Origen wrote any of those, Tertullian (160-225 AD) wrote a commentary on Marcions’ - The Evangelion is that Gospel.

“no credible evidence that any religion is true” I’m not going to debate with someone about the meaning of scripture who says this, but you should do a deep dive into the verse you quoted because it’s not what you think it means.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

Jesus (Iēsous) was either a liar, insane or telling the truth. All his disciples went to their death declaring that he died and rose again.

Some food for thought.

We are to be more like Jesus.

We are NOT to be like YHWH.

The two are not the same;

YHWH is a man of war; YHWH is his name.

- Ex 15:3

"you shall worship no other god, for YHWH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God"

- Ex 34:14

"For YHWH your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

- Dt 4:24

“Thus says YHWH of hosts [war]: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath. Thus says YHWH"

- Zec 8:2–3

vs

"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil."

- Lk 6:35

Does that description match YHWH?

I’m a heretic for Jesus (Iēsous): I walk the path laid by Him, not the church fathers, challenging the mainstream to find truth beyond conformity. 🙏🏻

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  (John 14:6, ESV)

Jesus (Iēsous) is the key.

Not the desert war God;

YHWH is a man of war;

YHWH is his name.

- Exodus 15:3

What do you believe the 'Word of God' is?

If you haven't learned/found something new from scripture, you're likely 'reading' and not 'studying.'

There is a big difference.

I’ve logged into Primal via browser and used NWC and that worked! So, at least there is a way to zap from your Hub - just have to do it via the browser rather than the iOS app.

How can you disconnect nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcq9vhrm wallet from the app so you can setup your own wallet (eg Alby Hub)?

I can’t find an option to “Untoggle Primal Wallet” which is in the nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s8jq7y6 Hun settings when you try and “connect to” the Primal app. #asknostr

A grim reminder that other believers around the world have more on the line than most. Terrible news.
