According to jewish legend; Yeshua used
the tetragrammaton to raise a man from the dead.

now how often in history, has a man raised someone from the dead?

and could god not stop such use of his name?
perhaps it was a test?
that a man should raise another from the dead?
should we believe?

Who can raise a man from the dead?

God.

I find it interesting that only Yashuah learned the Holy Name, and used it wrongly, and  all the others, sent out to stop hime, with the same power, always used it wisely, and only to stop the Heritick.  Something does not ring true with these 'Anti-Christ' stories.

In Messiah.  Arley

According to Judaism there are more people and stories that man where raised from the dead. Some didn't die at all. And with the Golem of Prague for example life was created out of material.  You don't need specifically the Name of The Almighty for that...  Also in my generation there where rabbi's who drove 100's of miles on about 1 liter of gasoline because they believed in The Almighty (this story also written down by Arabs).

Like a lot of stories, like sharing 2 breads with 100's of people etc. are also pre-Christian, so I believe a lot of things. But you don't have to be Messiah or so to do that. For The Almighty can create something new, or outside of our thoughts. etc.

Exactly, miracles are extremely easy. Being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ according to Romans 8:29, Colossians 3:17, & innumerable other Biblical passages is where all of the warfare is at with one's self, the discovery of enemies outside of one's self that one would have never believed would have become or been enemies all of this time 'cept for the fact that walking in His process of executing written judgments, per Proverbs 4, Psalm 149, Psalm 112, & Psalm 82 drew out their true natures all of a sudden. Miracles are extremely easy & simplistic! Being Lord of all thru being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ according to Romans 5:17, Galatians chapters 3 & 4, Ephesians 1:23, & Revelation 1:5-6 because you are the seed of Abraham is the real challenge. It's easier to get forgiveness than permission from our dear Father Whose Word divides, scrutinizes, tries 7 times in the fire, & discriminates between the motives, intents, wisdom, understanding, & readiness of the heart, & judges without partiality & without hypocrisy whether or not we've run our race in vain &/or have become disqualified; whether or not we're vessels of honor or common usage, according to 2Timothy 2.  Lord Jesus stuns us all by saying He'll declare to many miracle workers that He flat out never knew them 'cause they were coming in their own name rather than in His Name & His Father's Name. If we're ashamed of Him, then His High Priestly ministry & His Father's grace won't function in our behalf.

Hello Yetzirah231

Could you please provide references to these stories

Whereistruth and TheDocter

I agree that some don't do it in the NAME of The Almighty. And even the ''story'' of the Golem of Prague is not biblicall and hard to proof if The Almighty wanted such a story to happen/excist.
But the story of the Golem is closer to Biblicall interpretation how WORDS can creat life.
By the not specifically necessary issue of God's NAME, indeed for falce prophets and sourserers it's not. For us it is, but combined often with a lot of other connections between the letters of the Hebrew language. anyway you speak at least 1 or more sentences. But like The Almighty created the world with WORDS (1 WORD, even the whole original Torah there where no spaces between the letters). We need to create Life with WORD.

Well Eliyah the prophet never died for example, there is at least 1 other man in Tenach who never died. Well acc. to the Christian Testament, Jesus died, and than was raised.
And there is the story of the dry bones will be raised up again... in psalms i believe, it's too late here now at night, to surch now.  And with Mozes a stick could change into a living snake. Creating life might be easier indeed than we think.

Dear Yetzirah231

We believe something very similar;

and also some people that I speak with who are
into the mystical aspect find it very interesting. Regards.

John 1
The Eternal Word

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Elijah raised a dead boy,...
That's twice, according to scripture.

and Elisha after he was dead raised a dead man who touched his bones

That's three times..according to scripture

Like the power passed on to Elisha by The Elijah, Christ also endowed Peter with the Holy Spirit, and he, too, raised the dead:


36 At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did. 37 But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. 38 And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them. 39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them. 40 But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.
