Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.\n\nThe meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

John 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name; and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. \n\nHe came in his father name Yahweh or Yah for short and we recieve him not. But if someone came in there own name Jesus him we would recieve. \n\n  The Messiah was a Hebrew Israelite from the Tribe of Judah, He lived as a Hebrew with a Hebrew Name given to him from Yah the father.  The name Jesus is English, there is no J or J equivalent in the Hebrew language.  Jesus is not the English translation of the Messiah's Hebrew name. Jesus is a name created by men not by the Most High.  The Hebrew Messiah name is Yahshuah, which means Yah's Salvation or Salvation of Yah, his name tells you whom he is and what his mission is.

Yahweh underwent an extreme makeover with the New Testament writers. \n\nThe Old Testament god was never a god of love. He was a god of war and vengeance and political authority who cursed unborn generations of those who angered him. He also sanctioned the slaughter of children, the rape of women, incest and numerous other crimes. He tormented those who believed in him, instructed them to murder their own children, and he even - inexplicably - considered killing Moses.\n\nA thinking person who believes in a higher power can believe either that the bible is all true and Yahweh functions as a manic-depressive, malicious entity who has limited powers and limited knowledge, OR he can consider the likelihood that the bible doesn't always accurately describe God as God really is.

Occasionally, "Jehovah" is represented as "JHVH", although in Hebrew the Tetragrammatton's equivalent Roman letters are "YHWH". It seems unlikely that "JWH" is intended as an abbreviation for "Jehovah".\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) seems to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".\n\n(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth\n\n(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

To give life.\n\nThe Meaning of Life is the answer to this question:\n\nGod, what is Your purpose of Existence?\n\nFor God's purpose of Existence itself defines the purpose of all that exists.\n\nI asked God that question...\n\nGod answered, "My purpose of Existence is To give life. Since you are made in My image after My likeness, then YOUR purpose of existence is to give life."\n\nEverything that exists is an expression of God's thinking; thus, everything reflects God's thinking.\n\nGod gives life by His unique existence, and receives life when He gives life. All of existence gives life by its unique existence to that which receives life from its unique existence. This is Nature - the union of all living (eternal) things.\n\nYou are here to give life by your unique existence to that which receives life from your unique existence. So do what you love that nourishes those who love what you love.\n\nThis is your purpose.

The term "Allah" simply means "the [one] god", implying a single Almighty deity reminiscient of the Judeo-Christian "Yahweh" / "Jehovah". However, it is significant that "Allah" is clearly NOT a personal name, while the Hebrew Tetragrammaton clearly *IS* a personal name for Almighty God.\n\nIt's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". Faithful men of the Holy Scriptures used both "God" and a form of "Jehovah" when they referred to and addressed the Almighty. However, the term "Allah" seems intended specifically to reject Judeo-Christian spiritual heritage.\n\nIf we want a familiar and close relationship, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal!

In the original Hebrew there are three different names used for God. There is YHVH (aka the unpronounceable name), Elohim and Adonoy. What's referred to in Genesis 1:26 is Elohim, because it was Elohim who created the world. \n\nNow, the thing to know about Elohim is that it has a plural suffix "im," but it's treated as a singular masculine noun in the Hebrew. Etymologically it appears plural, but grammatically it's treated as a singular. This is highly confusing to say the least.\n\nHowever, in bypassing the paradoxical plurality of God, some scholars have interpreted this particular phrase to mean that God was speaking to the entirety of creation, the US then being all the things that God had to that point brought into creation. Thus, Man is in the image of not just God but of all of creation, the microcosmos.

The meaning of life is to create meaning!  The answer is in the question.  Life has no meaning unless you make something out of it.  Otherwise you are just a speck, on a speck, on a speck.  It all means nothing, unless you value it.  One mans garbage is another man's treasure.  \n\nAnd the great thing is, the more you value it, the more your life becomes meaningful, and valuable to others as well!  \n\nIt all begins by asking these simple yet profound abstract questions.  They all have answers.  But once you have one answer three more questions pop up.  Ask those too!\n\nMy destiny is to answer this question!

What is the meaning of life? The question itself contains a word that is a misnomer. The word "life" should actually read "death" since this existence that we all like to call "life" is really "death." We all reside in the world of the dead, in "Hades" or "Hell," if you will. And of course, the dead know nothing, hence the reason we're continually asking "What is the meaning of life?" Since we're also inquiring of the dead, we get no sure replies.\n\nThose receiving the gift of life and resurrected will no longer have to ask "What is the meaning of life?" Being alive, they also have knowledge and the answer to the question before it's even asked.

Yahshua is Hebrew for what we term "Joshua" which means Jehovah is Salvation.\n\nYahweh is the closest we can come to what God called Himself since the Jewish scholars refused to spell out His Name fully. The closest we have is the consonants YHWH, or YaHWeH.\n\nEl is the word for God. Elohim is the plural--not "gods" but God in the mystic threefold unity. The Echad. See my study below, "Is God One or Three?"\n\nYHWH did not command for His names or titles to be changed. However, He also did not punish the Hebrews or the new Gentile church for it either. He knows who He is. He is the God of Abraham, Ysaak and Yakob, and His Name is to be worshipped and praised. Baruch HaShem Adonai. :)
