Amirault, Gary -  Greek Four Letter Word

About the author:

Tentmaker Ministries is Gary and Michelle Amirault and friends who have fallen in love with our Father, the Creator of the universe. We are concerned with growing up into the  fullness of the stature of Christ and being about our Father's  business.

Knowing Who the King of the Universe is and discovering He actually loves you, not just with words but in reality, is something that is impossible to keep bottled up. It must be shared. That is what Tentmaker is all about.

Through years of diligent study of various Bible translations, Greek and Hebrew language studies, reading the writings of the early church leaders and much prayer, we are convinced the Creator of the Universe and his Son, Jesus Christ, have gotten a lot of bad and false publicity, often at the hands of those of us who espouse His name. The Christian and Jewish Scriptures unanimously declare Him to be Omnipotent (all-powerful), Omniscient (all-knowing), Omnipresent, Just, One Whose mercy endures forever (Psalm 136) and Whose wrath will come to an end. (Isa. 57:16) More importantly, the Scriptures declare His very nature to be Love, but a love much higher than the Love man is capable of expressing apart from Him. He is unconditional Love, a Love which will lay down His life for His enemies. This love was demonstrated almost 2000 years ago through His Son, Jesus Christ. We feel much of the teachings perpetuated in His name do not reflect these attributes and His nature and therefore are false.

Even some Bible translations have been tainted with these degraded teachings. Some teach that God commands Christians to love their enemies while He endlessly tortures His own enemies. We find teachings such as this totally inconsistent and not harmonious to God's characteristics and nature. With a little diligence and willingness to let go of our man-made concepts of God, we believe one can harmonize all the Scriptures with all of God's attributes.
