1. Good article but BEWARE of JOE KOVACS. His belief is that we all will become ‘little gods’ after we die. Remember to TEST all that you read/hear to what GOD’s Word actually says and means.

   • Frankly, it’s impossible to do a background check on the author of every new article I read, and besides, who’s got the time? Therefore, read what they write, and eat the fish and spit out the bones. If what they’re saying is factually correct, then accept it. If not, reject it.

     When I was in school and took a math class, for example, I didn’t know the religion, philosophy or lifestyle of my math teacher, yet I accepted what he was teaching me as the truth. As 1 Thess 5:21, “Prove/test all things; hold fast to that which is good.”

     The Bible must be our ultimate guide as to what we believe, teach and practice. The Hebrew word Elohim is a plural noun referring to the “Godhead” (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit). At the same time, we read in John 1:12 that those who have received Yeshua are given the right, authority, or power to become the children of Elohim. This same thought is also stated in Rom 8:14–15; 9:4; 2 Cor 6:18; Gal 4:5–6; Eph 1:5; 1 John 3:1–2 and Rev 21:7. The idea that men would become children of Elohim (part of the spiritual family of Elohim) seems to have been broadly accepted by the apostles.

     Just because the Protestant church doesn’t generally teach this biblical fact doesn’t not make it a fact. And similarly, just because some cults teach a perverted twist of this biblical truth doesn’t mean we should reject what the Bible teaches about it.

     Interestingly, many of the Eastern Orthodox churches (the counterpart of the Roman Catholic Church in the eastern world) have taught the concept that man will become like God in their idea of the theosis. For educational and enlightenment purposes, may I suggest that the reader look up this term online.

     What is to be our spiritual destiny or inheritance after we receive our glorified bodies at the resurrection? To only be glorified angelic beings? The Bible says that man will be above the angels (1 Cor 6:3). What’s above the angels in spiritual rank? That’s right, Elohim!

     I leave you with this passage from John:

     “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” (1 John 3:1–2)

2. Natan –

   I have found all your articles on Passover and “Easter” very refreshing!

   I learned an interesting fact this past week when we were watching a Messianic teacher on t.v. teaching about Passover. Did you know that only in the Greek/English/and maybe one or two other languages that the greeting, “Happy Easter” exist? Most other countries would say, “Happy Passover” instead.

   I have attached a website where you can see the variations of Passover that are used instead of Easter.

   Here is the website: http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/easter.htm

   Interesting huh?

3. Thank you for sharing this interesting information. I wasn’t aware that Passover was such a pervasive term in other languages as opposed to Easter. You’ll find the same things true for the seventh day of the week—Sabbath.
