1 John 3:23
23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Yahuwshua the Messiah and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

So it is very convenient for the devil to attack this commandment as hard, if not more, than all other commandments, so anyways, it is not hard to realize Jesus is a Greek name, starting with the fact that the Letter J didn’t exist back then, but until the 17th hundreds, meaning the Name Jesus which came from Iesus, was a Greek alteration of the real name, then in that case what would that be, the Messiah was of Hebrew heritage, and throughout the Bible it was prophesied that the Messiah was coming in the Name of e Father which is Yahweh, a Hebrew Name a Hebrew Mighty One, so what Im trying to say is that the Messiah’s name is a Hebrew name not a Greek or English or Latino name.

Psalm 118:22-26
 22 The stone which the builders rejected
         Has become the chief cornerstone.
 23 This was Yahweh’s doing;
         It is marvelous in our eyes.
 24 This is the day Yahweh has made;
         We will rejoice and be glad in it.          
 25 Save now, I pray, O Yahweh;
         O Yahweh, I pray, send now prosperity.
 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Yahweh!
         We have blessed you from the house of the Yahweh.

Basically, other than of course coming in representation of Yahweh, the Name of the Father would be in his name, as it was the case with most prophets which pronunciations are correct in the Strong’s concordance, like Eliyahu, so called Elijah, Ishayahu, known as Isaiah, Yirmyahu, Jeremiah, and the list goes on and on.

The last part of those names, pronounced Yahu, is the name of the Father in past tense, which is formed by the first three Hebrew letters of the tetragrammaton which is normally written with our letters as YHWH, it would be basically as pronouncing YaHuWeH without the last H, making it YaHuW, reason why I sometimes leave the w in Yahuwshua. The three letters of the name of the Father are found in the beginning of the name of the messiah instead of at the end, but are the same letters, which means they should be pronounced the same, yet in the concordance is shown to be supposedly pronounced as Yehowshua, taking out the Name of the Father out of the Name of the Messiah because that was the first thing they did after the Messiah resurrected and his disciples began preaching in His Name, since to Jews it is a sin to pronounce Yahweh, or for that matter Yahuw, because of their misinterpretation of the commandments, which became a different affiliation of gods, this was also the reason why Jews thought Yahuwshua was calling on Eliyahu, when he was screaming Eli, Eli, thinking he would also avoid pronoucing the Yahu after Eli. 

Matthew 27:46-47 
46 And about the ninth hour Yahuwshua cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My MightyOne, My MightyOne, why have You forsaken Me?”
47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is calling for Elijah!”

Another person to hold the name in a way of prophecy for the One Messiah coming, was the one commonly known as Joshua, successor of Moses, who got Israel in the promised land in three days as Yahuwshua saved us after resurrecting in three days, it is also stated in the Strong’s concordance, however for some “strange” reason, one of their names ended up being pronounced in our days, Joshua and the other Jesus, even though they are the same exact name, with the same pronunciation obviously, it doesn’t make sense, or does it, when you compare Jesus to the names of other “gods” and find a relation.

There is no question in the fact that the last two Hebrew letters of the name of the Messiah are pronounced Shua like in Joshua and not Sus like in Zeus, I mean Jesus, I say this because of all the pronounciations they have come up for the name of the Messiah, Yehowshua, Yehshua, Yahshua and Joshua, so the apparent issue is with the first three letters of the Name of the Messiah, which are the first three letters of the name of the Father, which are in the names of many, many, many prophets in the Bible, which as discussed above, are pronounced Yahu, proven even by the strong’s concordance and even by nowadays political figure, Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu pronounced correctly by everyone around the world, he happens to have the first three letters of the Messiah’s name as his last letters, as it was accustom in believers of the Most High Yahweh, and it means “Gift of Yahweh”, I believe it is a big gift,  in a world in which such confusion happens, even though it is there if you look.

I think this is the best and fastest way I can explain it and please remember the words of the Messiah…      

 John 5:43
43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.

Now for the second part of your question, I will also refer to the scriptures to answer it.

Genesis 1:12
12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was Good.

According to this scripture and others alike, Cannabis was created by Yahweh, for the service of man, as all other plants in the same category shown in the verse above, and being that service not only a medicinal one, as the one when smoked or eaten, but also for every single area of life as it was used back in the day when it was a law to grow it, for it’s so many purposes, textiles, clothing, industrial, nutritional, etc, etc, since it was worth and used sometimes even as money, until the tobacco and liquor companies with some other people with power literally gave it a bad name from some other Mexican Plant called Marijuana and made it illegal in every way they made it possible, not only completely changing it’s name, once again another example of name changing for the destruction of character, for not saying image, since that’s what they did through all kinds of false propaganda and even movies, so that people would think the worst of it, claiming it would make people go crazy and kill, claiming it was worst than cocaine and heroin, even though in history there is not one person ever recorded of dying because of it.

I mean there is so much information out there on this, you make want to check out “the Marijuana Conspiracy” on Youtube for a very quick look into all of it.

But let me put some more scriptures to go a bit more in depth with what I believe.

1 Corinthians 10:23  
23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.

I think the scripture is very clear, yet let me paraphrase, ALL things are Lawful for us, but not everything will help you, you can do all things, but not everything is gonna build you up. We cannot let anything that we do, control what we do, so we must always keep in mind this when doing anything that we may do, we must not let it control us, however nothing is bad of it’s own, is what we do with it or even what we think of it what matters, reason why who ever conspired against cannabis in this case, knew a whole lot about the potential in the plant, even spiritual, so making all the bad propaganda for it and calling it a drug, would make people think of it as bad, even if they were to try it, therefore only doing it when “sinning” or for it, or even thinking you are sinning by the mere fact of doing, even though the Scriptures says all is lawful and more.

Romans 14:14    
14 I know and am convinced by the Sovereign Yahuwshua that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

The devil knows how to do sneaky things, according to this scripture, if you think something is bad, even if is not, if you do it, you are sinning, because you think is bad yet you are doing it, so why not make the whole world think this plant is bad, so that if they even try to touch it, they may sin when they do it, not because is bad in the eyes of Yahweh, but because you think it is.

1 Corinthians 10:29-31
29 “Conscience,” I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience? 30 But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of Yahweh.

Whatever you do, if you are doing it for good without evil intentions or evil/negative thoughts, as long as you give thanks, Yahweh is pleased and at the same time whatever we may think to be right or correct, we must never judge our neighbor for this things.

Romans 14:18
18 For he who serves The Messiah in these things is acceptable to Yahweh and approved by men.

Romans 14:22
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before Yahweh. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

I hope this answered your question, if you are interested you may want to look into how it is possible Cannabis was one of the ingredients in the ointment for Kings in the Bible which represents the covering of the spirit and also sometimes used as incense winch represents the prayers written in the original scripture as Kannebosm, many believe this to be what we now call Cannabis, they separated it the word into, Kanne, meaning hemp, and Bosm, meaning fragrance when writing the English versions of the Bible, quite interesting.  

When it comes to the gnostic books, well like I told you before, I do believe they are truth also, however people make the mistake of reading those without taking in account the Bible or with a regular church doctrine, making them not agree with each other, making the gnostic books seemed to be contrary to the teachings of the Bible even if they are not, but at the same time if you want to understand the gnostic books you must first Understand the Bible.

As you know Gnosis, means Knowledge and Yahweh himself said, “my people are destroy for lack of knowledge” so we must seek knowledge without a doubt and what better knowledge than that which is written in Scriptures.

The issue, like I said before is when people, by leaving the Bible on the side, think or teach, we can become like Yahushua by following what is said in this books, which is kinda like trying to enter the kingdom of Yahweh by works which we know is not possible, for we must first BELIEVE in our hearts and CONFESS with out mouths that Yahushua is Sovereign and Yahweh raised him from the death, then from this moment on we are supposed to act like Yahushua anyways, first because he is our king and second because we become his body on earth, therefore being one with him and if we are one with him and he is one with the Father than we are one with the Father thanks to Yahushua, but all these won’t become so “obvious” but until we are in the millennium, for now we have to share that knowledge of the truth(Yahushua) with our brothers and sisters so that they can also enter the Kingdom of Yahweh which is among us at the moment.
