Dear Editor,

I would like to begin by commending Mr. Singletary for having the fortitude to write a letter to the editor.

The letter itself is a testament to the failure of education in Richmond County. For those of you who did not read the original letter let me quote just the first sentence. “Do you think Richmond Senior High School is being operated right, why isn’t students to happy about going to school.” This is the writing of a senior.

This is the work of student who will graduate in four months and go out into the world unable to write a grammatically correct, or even a coherent sentence.

I do not mean to attack Mr. Singletary, but hope that his attempt at writing will enlighten the community as to the significant shortcomings of education in Richmond County.

Krista Edwards

Dear Editor-Thanks for not correcting my post on Feb.12,I Again spelled a word wrong ,if I offended in any "was", It should have been any way.Or maybe I should have put wah,AS in YAH-U-WAH.Anyway I believe with all my being (soul)that Krista knew that I am truthfully sorry if I had offended her.But I wish that those who oppose his word would stick to the subject discussed because it was not Krista who put the post in,it was then.It would break my heart to know thatI had offended her or anyone like her,because she did not speak out against the young man.I do not actually know her,but I wish I did, because anyone who stands for right in this world is worth knowing,I can probably learn a few things from her if I keep my mouth shut and listen to her. The word proof,as you most likely already know ,means evidence establishing the validity of a given assertion .Thanks again for alowing the Hebrew post.You make my day,the "Word" is what counts.

Mkc48. Relax young man. Easy3 was just pulling your leg, he was pulling both of them. This is not Mr. Andrews but someone impersonating him.

I used to call the Almighty Yahuah, YHWH, Yahweh, and after just finishing C.J. Koster's book "Come out of Her My People" I call him Yahuweh or Yahueh. Many call our Messiah by His Aramaic name Yeshua, or Y'shua, or Yahshua, or Yahusha, or Yahushua. The one thing in common with all of these names is "YAH." On that day we will all know exactly what their names are but as we are not infallible you could just call Him 'YAH" as it is used in Psalm 68:4 and as in followers of yah.

In reference to my own comment I didn't do a very good job of proofreading it.

"Scotlan" should be "Scotland" and it took her almost a school year "to catch up."

Oh please! Stick to the topic. Did mkc48 really say that. I think that was someone impersonating him.

Shalom

Just so you're aware, My message was intended towards the woman who wrote this letter to the editor. It wasn't intended towards you, unless of course you too want to gripe about Jeff Singletary's Grammar.

mkc48-I deciedided to respond to the other comments also.Did you not imply that the ones in the Hebrew movement are going to hell(the grave)?I never said that anyone is going to the grave,Messiah decides that AND MY DOG CAN DISAPPEAR WIYHOUT DYING .Now evidently you do not read the dictionary"s you have,if you did you would find in the Strongs Bible Dictionary at #430 is the word Judge ,Hebrew Elohiym =GOD.At # 3090 the name 'Yah',the sacred name.I find this name in my new King James Study Bible about 160 times in the study index,only it says Yahweh as you mentioned Yahweh.I find this name in Psalms 68:4, ,Isaiah 12.2,Isaiah 26:4 and 38:11 which states ",I said ,I will not see Yah ,the lord (ruler,mighty one,most powerful,strength,god) in the land of the living (means on earth while still alive,it is apointed for all to die and then Elohims FINAL TRUMPET.The rapture(NOT A HEBREW WORD) will last a blink of the Eye,TWO HUNDRED HUNDREDS OF A SECOND.Before I KNOW THAT YAH HAS MY HAND AND I HAVE DIED I WILL BE WITH Yah.Jesus in the Stroungs is A-he,she,or it.That could fit a pig,horse or a horse or a dog.BUT THE SCRIPTURES NEVER REFER TO HUMAN BEINGS AS ITS AND MEN AS SHE.CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.AND LAST OF ALL I find the Man Yahushua AT #3091 IN THE Hebrew index.I talked to several only this week who said you are exactly right.Two of my grandsons call him Yahusha and more people do every day.BUT YOU CAN CALL HIM ANYTHING THING YOU WANT TO AND ITS OK. but PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE.PLEASE,SHOW ME WHERE THIS VERSE IS ,I want to show it to MR.JONES WHEN HE ( Elohiym judges) my friend , Mr.ANDREWS.OF COURSE YOU CAN CALL HIM Je=rome,or ANY OTHER name and your JESUS STILL KNOWS WHO YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT,before the 1800 period no one was saved by the name jesus because it did not exist and they had an excuse,no dictionaries at that time.But frankly I respect your opinions ,call him whoever you want to and believe what you want to,we all have that right ,So far,the early follks who rebelled against King James died in the fires.The Pope would now be telling you what to do if the Britts had won the Revolution instead of the Colonies.You would not be allowed to voice your opinion and neither would I .When the One world order begins again we will have the same old Christianity and the SKY WILL GLOW ABOVE THE FIRES.Have a good life Mkc.Remember,I DID NOT SAY YOU WERE GOING ANYWHERE .Easy three for three days he rested.Did you KNOW that the only symbols in the bible that represent perfection is three and seven.We study symbolism in the scriptures,I THINK ONE OF US MAY DO A LETTER ON THIS .But since you know so much and have all those BIBLES ,WHY DON"T YOU DO ONE.

For the record, You should always proof read your letter to the editor. Especially when that letter is a direct response to grammatical errors of another letter.

Forgive me mkc48 for being ignorant and unlearned as a couple of the apostles were who were slaves under the Greeks and Romans.I understood exactly what krista was saying,The same as some of those who complimented him in the first letter. But some like Tellales wrote,"after re-reading this letter I realized that not only is this student lacking in english skills,but he is woefully behind in matt.Mr.Sinletary if one does a 360 they are exactly where they started from started from.Do you mean a 180 which is tum-around".Idid not call any teachers name or attack any individual person in my first post.I know a teacher who left Richmond Senior High before her first year was completed and transferred to Roberdel to work under Mrs.Goodman, and retired there.Why did she transfer? Because she could not teach unruly children who never had the proper training at home.Another couple shortly after this pulled their child out of the tenth grade because this child did not want to see girls kissing(not normalkissing ) in the hall ways .They taught her at home until she finished school, things like this in public schools should not be tolerated .All children should be taught to obey the rules at home,school,the neighbors home or anywhere else.Imagine what would have happened to me when my drill instructor told me as reported for training to sit down,no smoking,and keep my G-D mouth shut until I tell you to open it ,for I am your god,mother,father,and girlfriend so keep your mind off her and on me.Now this did not bother me because I was told the same thing by my father,only he never said G-D he commanded and all the children obeyed.But as usual, there were those in our outfit that had to learn the hardway,and a few did not follow instructions .One not following instructions while in a group in the old days meant all the others received the extra duty with him.Thats the reason some have to be taught by their buddy's to follow commands.Also not following commands will get you and your friends killed.Some teachers may have control of their students,but some do not.As I said before,if the parents cannot control their children at home,how can a teacher teach and control at the same time in a class room?As I said before,no teacher ever complained about my children not minding.Teachers need to be in control,a child thats unruly keeps others from learning.Goverment rules cause the problems,the larger the school,the better ball teams you have and the harder it is to control the students.Small schools with a Mr.Little at the top will produce educated children.This is my opinion.Krista I am sorry if I offended you in any was.If I did offend you,you should have told me in a post.

To mkc48 -And those who think like you do.What was the topic?The young man had the courage to complain about his teacher and was given Holy (SET APART IN Hebrew)heck,was that not the topic?Evidently you have forgotten that almost every time Mr.Andrews gives the facts backed up by scripture verses and web sites to go to you always go to some off the wall HOG WASH that has nothing to do with the Hebrew,Greek,Latin or English or any other dialect.Now why do you not study to show yourself approved or disapear as the man from Ellerbe did that could not count to three.I seem to have forgot his name.But I can still quote the 10 commands,give the apostles names in Hebrew and English ,the name of Yaa'qub and his 12 children and and name Yaaqubs two handmaids which are Zilpar which produced (with Yaa'qubs help of course two sons ,Gad and Asher)and Bilhar who was Rachel's handmaid that produced Naphtali (Hebrew ) and Dan.Twelve sons by two women and one man who today would Qualify for welfare.I can quote all of this while you are turning in your Bible(if you have one)to 1ST>Cor.Chapter #13 and quote this Chapter also.I do not say this to brag,only to say that one does well in what he is interested in .I use a KJV study Bible and read the names in Hebrew.I Know for a fact that I am the least one in our group when it comes to the Hebrew language and knowledge of scripture.Mr.Andrews and three others have more knowledge than I do.I listen while they teach.Try it mkc48,you might like it.This letter states facts,join us and learn for we love you,Mr.Jones and the Man who said truth is truth,even written on bath room walls,and all otherS .We search and study 35 to 40 hours each week and double that at times.You are welcome my friend.Give me trouble but leave my Brothers alone,they have important work to do ,after all the preachers say he can come at anytime.Think,if he came at 11.00p.m.,thats about 10 minutes ago,both of us will have missed the rapture and all others who are reading this.And that is fact also,and the Anti- Messiah has to give us three years of peace before he comes.IS THIS NOT CORRECT?I STILL SAY ITS MIND CONTROL AND SELF CONTROL

THAT ELIMINATES THINGS NOT IN CONTROL.

The topic of MS. EDWARDS letter (not the young man who wrote it) easy3, is that while she commended this young man for writing a letter to the editor, she was discouraged that he will graduate this year and is unable to write a coherent, grammatically correct letter. Furthermore the topic also included the failure of the Richmond County School System to teach these things effectively. The topic was not about a lesson in Greek or Hebrew or if this young man is holy or set apart. You took 2 words from her letter, commend and fortitude, and came back with something totally off the wall. She was simply giving the young man a little pat on the back for having the courage to write the letter. She wasn't putting him up in a place of honor for goodness sake! So you and your group don't believe that Yahweh appreciates one giving another a pat on the back? Silly me, I thought he wanted us to encourage one another.

As far as your attack on my salvation, lack of what YOU consider to be knowledge, etc. ad nauseum, is what I consider to be the height of arrogance and judgement. Didn't the Messiah say "Judge not least you be judged"? Is wishing me to disappear not the same as breaking the 6th commandment? Is not wishing murder/disappearance in our hearts the same as actually doing the deed?

I'm happy for you that you are able to read dictionaries and web sites, study and contemplate scripture sometimes up to 80 hours weekly, quote the 10 commandments, say the apostle's names in different languages, quote chapter 13 of 1st Corinthians, etc., etc. Good for you! I'm glad you have the time to sit and make assumptions about me, wondering if I own a Bible (which I do by the way, several of them in fact and well worn at that. I also own several dictionaries too, in case you were wondering). Who are you to judge what I am interested in? Who are you to judge what I study or if I study? Do you walk in my shoes? I'm glad you love me as I do you too. I gladly obey that command from the Messiah. I just simply do not believe as you do. I don't believe that the Messiah cares if I call his name Jesus (even though there is no J in the Hebrew language). I don't believe that he cares if I go to church and observe the Sabbath on Sunday rather than Saturday. I don't believe he cares that I celebrate his birth at Christmas and his glorious resurrection at Easter. I don't believe he cares if I know Hebrew or not. I don't believe he cares if I commend someone for their fortitude. I don't believe he cares what church I attend as long as the true Word of God is preached, he is the center of it and is honored, worshiped and revered. I do not care about the word according to Mr. Andrews, you, or your group. I think you all spend way too much time trying to give language lessons and writing letters to the Editor. I don't know what you are talking about when you tell me to leave your brothers alone. I didn't know I was bothering them. You are right in that there is important work to be done. The field is ripe for the harvest, but you all are not the only ones qualified to harvest out there. I don't know what you were trying to say in your last few sentences. If you think I'm worried about the rapture, well you need to think again. All is well with my soul. I know in whom I have believed and given my heart and life to. So I say Jesus come quickly if that is your will. I have never said to any of you that you are not Heaven bound, but you all sure have said and implied it to me and to Mr. Jones and "others like us". I'll be up there with you guys whether I am caught up in the rapture or if I die before that time comes. I do not have to worry about these things because I have been saved by the blood of the lamb. My only worry has to be for others who do not have the assurance of eternal life and to witness to them in the hopes that they will accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. So there is my two cents of HOGWASH easy3. Peace and have a great day!

I'm proud to say both of my kids were educated in the Richmond County school system...They both went on to recieve 4 year college degrees, because of the education foundation they recieved here in Richmond County..They both worked hard and enjoyed getting up and attending whatever school they were at. With the guidance of some excellent teachers and leadership at each school , they are both living a rewarding adult life . I , myself , had the privelege and challenge of being a teacher in the RC system and can honestly say it was a rewarding career that had a new challenge every day..You dont get to pick and choose your students , you take what you are given and with Gods help , you do the best you can every day .It is a challenge because some dont get the support from home that they should...I can say from experience ,you as the teacher recognize those early and try your best to reach out and give those kids the extra support and encouragement they need..I would like to say THANK YOU to every teacher in the RC school system for the job you do every day. I know what a diffucult job it is. Let me close by saying I think the board made a good selection in the choice of Mr.Mckenzie as the one to follow Mr. Satterfield , and continue on with trying to make RSH the best High School IN NC..

Easy #3 to Krista Edwards.Thanks for writing our perfect Editor.In your first sentence you commended MR.Singletary's for having the fortitude to write.There is only one power that created the world so lets commend him only.To commend or honor another being animal,place or thing is directly opposite what his word teaches. The Greeks and Romans (These terrible beasts,they were so mean that even the devil was afraid of them,they even changed the Messiahs name. They can be called an it(Look up jE=SUS in "Strongs'is your Messaiah a he,she, or it?The Greeks and Romans favorite colors are purple and scarlet.)Rome or Je=rome changed the Hebrew New Testament into Latin,no one is suposed to change his word,thats Satan and the womans duties.Who is the woman of REVELATIONS,THE FIRST ONE WORLD ORDER CHURCH THAT KILLS ,STEALS,AND DESTROYS WITH THE ANTI-MESSIAH AT ITS HEAD(ANTI MEANS AGAINST OR OPPOSITE,SO WHO IS OPPOSITE THE MESSIAH.Christos was a Greek and Roman God that they worshiped ,this is where the word Christ originated.So Christos is opposite Messiah.Christos is Anti -Messiah.

By the 'Way' ,THE Greek word for woman is gune. T.V.preachers do not tell you that,so lets thank the Editor for allowing me to tell you ,now you know.Mr.Singletary had "strength of mind allowing him to endure pain or adversity (fortitude> Webster's New College Dictionary ).The Hebrew word nearest fortitude is fortify in English and is 'amats'in Hebrew ,it means to be alert,courageous,steadfast,increase,prevail,strengthen self,confirm.My Hebrew Messiah did all of this on the cross ,he is my fortitude,my strength of mind,in fact his word dwells in my mind.First Cor.6-19 &20,what,do you not know that your Body is the set aparT (HOLY) place of the spirit (WORD)that dwells in you .He dwells in your mind,you have your mind with you always ,you sleep,work,rest,travel,with his word in you,he is the (WORD IN YOU BUT DO NOT BELIEVE ME,ASK YOUR preacher.

Our granddaughter was in school here in Richmond County a number of years ago and when they moved back to Scotlan County it took her almost a school year and was almost held back a grade. She is very smart and through her hard work she caught up and was not held back and is now one grade ahead.

Amein Krista.
