Luke 21:17

is oneness a hated game because of the envious? because of vanity? because that which is divided from god is doomed to fail?

the rejection of love is definitely a path to a troubled state for the wayfaring travelerI see the rejection of what is from God is doomed to failure.
I do see that we need to acknowledge out Oneness, that no human is above another and all deserve the same rights. At the same time we need to look after the place we live.

the name isn't jesus. it's exodus 3:14I think there was animosity between the Jewish leadership and the followers of Jesus. Not sure there is any reason to assume anything beyond that.
I don't think anyone hates Christians because of the name Jesus. They hate/dislike Christian because of their actions. Maybe some Christian like to deflect animosity towards them onto the name of Jesus but more than likely it is a reflection directly on their behavior.
Christians might think they are hated because they are Christian. Nope, it is because they are acting like a dick.

to know god is to know self.
1 John 4:4
Luke 21:17 isn't this Jesus talking to his disciples?
So where is "I Am" hated?
In fact where is oneness in the Bible? Is oneness even a Christian idea?
I'm not fond of that name, I sometimes wonder if "I Am" was an edit which scratched out the name as being too holy or sacred or dangerous as a taboo, leaving only "I am" and not dissimilar to other taboos like pronouncing YHWH as "Adonai / Adonay" or the modern G-D thing some people do or calling God "Ha Shem" meaning " The Name ".
I don't think "I Am" was even the name, even though it sounds cool and profound now.
exodus 3:14 is a verb. niv says the word lord sounds like and may be related to the word in 3:14. the lexicon shows that the word yehovah is derived from the root word in 3:14.
the name that can be named/defined is not the enduring one. this is the indefinite tao, the unformed but everlasting
i've heard it expressed as the Infinite I tooI agree with God having no real name, names as just ways to refer back to God, and a things being "words" and all words being things which can be used to refer back to God.
I've never been fond of YHWH either and don't really recognize it as anything, similar to "I AM", though people consider these highly spiritual, I consider them the most artificial and false, and that better results are garnered by "real names", even like those in username, which have meanings and references which are more clear and are epithets.
Elh, Eloah, Allah, all pronounced Uhluh, whatever, thats a real powerful name. Adonai works and is more powerful than "YahWay".
Odin, Wuothan, Thorrr, Thuunearrr, all these work.
yuhoowahay works better than YahWay, Eeyah works better than both.

AUM amenAlso, for fun, if you turn YHWH as written in Hebrew upside down it looks like Allah written in Arabic. If you mess around with "Aum" written it seems to have similar shapes and prongs as well as the archaic way of writing Tao or some similar word seems to have the same or similar shapes hidden in it.

I'm inspired by this thread to make a thread where I might discuss the various feelings of potency for each of the various names and terms for God used throughout the world or history or even among common words. I wonder if some people feel like saying "YahWay" really gives them chills or something.
