I have an interesting personal testimony. Keep in mind Im one of the people in this group who has avidly defended the usage of the transliteration Jesus and admitted the KJV is my favorite English translation.... The only reason I own this Halleluyah Scripture translation is it was given to me by a very nice lady at Sukkot. So... I asked a little bit ago some advice for raising my daughters in the Faith. The advice was given not to dumb things down to my childrens age (my daughters are 2 1/2 and 11 months) and to not undermine their capacity to understand. So I take my daughters and start reading the book of Matthew. I skip the genealogies and go to Yeshuas birth. I start reading saying Yeshua HaMashiach and my wife gets absolutely livid. dont teach them in these Hebrew names!!! All its going to do is confuse them because Im going to say Jesus and they will think its different people!. My explanation was my daughters are going to be able to understand the transliteration and I plan on having them learn Hebrew. I need to make a qualifying statement - once when I thought I might die my last and only request was to have my daughters raised in the Hebrew Faith - they are Askenazi on both sides. So this is was the indication that something unseen was working through my wife - her response was You know if you die Im going to raise them in regular Christian church. Aint no way theyre gonna learn that sh*t!. Then she starts with her spiel about where was God when this happened or that happened, Im pissed at God, I hate him, etc. Then I said if Victoria (our oldest) hated you, would you not still love her and continually reach out to her as God is doing with you right now. He loves you. She said I know Im a demon. This is not usual for these things to come up against me. The pure anger over the Hebrew Names set an alarm off for me that this wasnt my wife. From there I proclaimed Christ as my Lord and I explained the difference between her true self, who has a soft beautiful heart and her defense mechanism which is the hard exterior of her heart which she has always had to use to protect the sweet little girl inside of her. I visibly saw her features softened and she came out of her hard shell.... I looked over on the couch and seen the cover of this Bible.
