Emile, You presume that all who do not call God by the five letters J,E,S,U, and S are all of Satan, and antichrist. Who invented alphabetic letters? From what I have researched, the Hebrew letters were based upon an interpretation of God. Who invented the English letters? Also an interpretation of man. Amazing to me that you should use five alphabetic characters on your keyboard to define that which is God, and that which is not. Because others do not spell their picture of God with these same characters as you do, they are against God. I submit to you that spirit is not letters on a page, but dwells in the spirit. For you to define the world in your terms by not the pictures of the spirit, but by the letters of the alphabet is the true arrogance. The Hebrews spoke as well of God as did the Egyptians before them, and many others since, including many Christians. They all spoke of an inner tranformation. What this is called is irrelevant, because it is only letters. I chose to call it christos. This is not to say that I am not guilty of the same blindness by letters, possibly in reverse. I need to reflect on that. Thanks for giving me something to meditate on. Peace, Darrin
