Yahoo! 360 to Shut Down
Over the past two years there has been a lot of discussion about the closure of Yahoo! 360° and the transition to our new profiles experience that we’ve had in the works. Today, we’re able to firmly say that on July 13, 2009 Yahoo! 360° will be closing down and you’ll be asked to move into your new profile on Yahoo!, by July 12, 2009.
While we know that many of you have faithfully used this service over the past few years, our goal has been to find a way to unify your social experience and connections across all of Yahoo! and anywhere you travel across the Web. So, while we’re sad to say that we will no longer be supporting Yahoo! 360°, we’re excited about this larger plan and hope you’ll transition over and be a part of it, too.
We also want to reiterate our commitment to preserving your blog content. We have been working to make sure we put the right mechanisms in place so that you can move your content - http://download.360.yahoo.com/ - and minimize disruption. It is with this thought in mind that we’re happy to introduce a new blogging feature that has already been integrated into your profile. You can find more information on this below, or try it out by visiting your new profile at http://profiles.yahoo.com.
With your new profile on Yahoo! you’ll be able to connect with other people on Yahoo!, and share your updates and activity with the people you meet on the Web.
Since some seem to have a hard time understanding how God can be God the Father,
God the Messiah or Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God, and God the Holy
Spirit; I have decided to try some logic from the beginning.
Who is God talking to when He states in Genesis "...Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness...". He wasn't talking to any angel because that
wouldn't make sense to make something after an angels likeness, because an angel
is a created being. So God was talking to God but that only makes sense if God
was more than one in some way, and He is.
God is three persons in one in some hard to understand way, but it is true
because God has said it was true all throughout Scripture. Just take the Hebrew
word Elohim, there is some places in Scripture when it is not talking about God,
but in most of the over 2000 places it is talking about God in the plural. How
can Elohim be talking about God in the plural if God is not in some way more
than one.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over
the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created
he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:26-27 KJV)
And Elohim said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and
let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and
over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures
that creep on the earth." And Elohim created the man in His image, in the image
of Elohim He created him – male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:26-27
The Scriptures 1998+)
Now some will say but there are places in Scripture where God is one God, well
lets look at some of those places.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: (Deuteronomy 6:4 KJV)
"Hear, O [Yisrael]: [YHWH] our Elohim, [YHWH] is one!" (Deuteronomy 6:4 The
Scriptures 1998+)
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee
will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. (Psalms 71:22 KJV)
Also with the lyre I praise You For Your trustworthiness, O my Elohim! I sing to
You with the lyre, O Set-apart One of [Yisrael]. (Psalms 71:22 The Scriptures
1998+)
But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him,
they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear
the God of Israel. (Isaiah 29:23 KJV)
"For when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they shall
set apart My Name, and set apart the Set-apart One of [Yaaqob], and fear the
Elohim of [Yisrael]. (Isaiah 29:23 The Scriptures 1998+)
For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer
the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. (Isaiah
54:5 KJV)
"For your Maker is your husband, [YHWH] of hosts is His Name, and the Set-apart
One of [Yisrael] is your Redeemer. He is called the Elohim of all the earth.
(Isaiah 54:5 The Scriptures 1998+)
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art
thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. (Mark
1:24 KJV)
saying, "Ha! What have we to do with You, [Yeshua] of Natsareth? Did You come to
destroy us? I know who You are: the Set-apart One of Elohim!" (Mark 1:24 The
Scriptures 1998+)
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel;
The Lord our God is one Lord: (Mark 12:29 KJV)
And [Yeshua] answered him, "The first of all the commands is, `Hear, O
[Yisrael], [YHWH] our Elohim, [YHWH] is one. (Mark 12:29 The Scriptures 1998+)
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in
him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. (1
Corinthians 8:6 KJV)
for us there is one Elohim, the Father, from whom all came and for whom we live,
and one Master [Yeshua] Messiah, through whom all came and through whom we live.
(1 Corinthians 8:6 The Scriptures 1998+)
I think those are enough verses to show that although God is one, He is also
plural at the same time in some way.

logic
I know that Jesus Christ is the only way to go to heaven because of many different verses in Scripture, including my favorite, John 14:6.
[Yeshua] said to him, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father too. From now on you know Him, and have seen." (John 14:6-7 The Scriptures 1998+)
But I am not talking about only what I know, but I am now talking about a Law of Logic, the Law of noncontradiction.
the Law of noncontradiction:
In order for something to be contradictory, it must violate the law of noncontradiction. This law states that A cannot be both A (what it is) and non-A (what it is not) at the same time and in the same relationship. In other words, you have contradicted yourself if you affirm and deny the same statement.
Here is a statement:
"Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. Jesus Christ isn't the only way to heaven."
now lets break it down so anyone can see the only possible logical choices:
True - Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. False - Jesus Christ isn't the only way to heaven.
False - Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. True - Jesus Christ isn't the only way to heaven.
False - Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. False - Jesus Christ isn't the only way to heaven.
While I can't prove only logically that "Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven" is the only True logical choice, I can prove logically that there is no way for both statements to ever both be true like some people try to claim when they say that Jesus Christ is my way, and other beings or religions or things can be other peoples way.

Christ died and now lives
Christ died for the fallen Earth, that He originally created good on the third "24 hour" day, as stated in Scripture; not for a cosmological process or processes that evolved the Earth over billions of years, as stated by some Scientists.
Christ died for the fallen vegetation, that He originally created good on the third "24 hour" day, but now it has thorns and thistles, because of the Fall, as stated in Scripture; not for some evolutionary process or processes that took many millions of years for plants to evolve from one cells, to the plants we have today, as stated by some Scientists.
Christ died for the the fallen Sun and other lights in the heavens, that He originally created good on the fourth "24 hour" day, as stated in Scripture; not for a cosmological process or processes that took billions or trillions of years to evolve to the state they are in now, as stated by some Scientists.
Christ died for all the fallen animals, that He originally created good on the fifth "24 hour" day and sixth "24 hour" day, as stated in Scripture; not for some scientific process or processes that took many millions of years to evolve from one cells to the animals we have today, as stated by some Scientists and/or some Evolutionary Scientists.
Christ died for fallen mankind, that He originally created good in the Garden of Eden on the sixth "24 hour" day, as stated in Scripture; not for some scientific process or processes that took many many years to evolve from some apelike creature to what humans are now, as stated by some Scientists and/or some Evolutionary Scientists.
Christ died and now lives; and everything, except God, either is in its fallen state or in a special state because Christ accepted you into His family. At sometime in the future Christ will create a New Earth and New Heavens and everyone in His family will then be like how humans were meant to be.
So please accept the free gift Christ gives you and be with Him in Eternity.

And Elohim saw all that He had made, and see, it was very good. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the sixth day. ([Bereshith] 1:31 The Scriptures 1998+)
Now no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for [YHWH] Elohim had not sent rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground, but a mist went up from the earth and watered the entire surface of the ground. And [YHWH] Elohim formed the man out of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils breath of life. And the man became a living being. And [YHWH] Elohim planted a garden in [Eden], to the east, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground [YHWH] Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, with the tree of life in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. ([Bereshith] 2:5-9 The Scriptures 1998+)
And [YHWH] Elohim commanded the man, saying, "Eat of every tree of the garden, but do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat of it you shall certainly die." ([Bereshith] 2:16-17 The Scriptures 1998+)
And [YHWH] Elohim said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all livestock and more than every beast of the field. On your belly you are to go, and eat dust all the days of your life. "And I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed. He shall crush your head, and you shall crush His heel." To the woman He said, "I greatly increase your sorrow and your conception – bring forth children in pain. And your desire is for your husband, and he does rule over you." And to the man He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘Do not eat of it’: "Cursed is the ground because of you, in toil you are to eat of it all the days of your life, and the ground shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field. "By the sweat of your face you are to eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you return." And the man called his wife’s name [Hawwah], because she became the mother of all living. And [YHWH] Elohim made coats of skin for the man and his wife and dressed them. And [YHWH] Elohim said, "See, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..." so [YHWH] Elohim sent him out of the garden of [Eden] to till the ground from which he was taken, and He drove the man out. And He placed [kerubim] at the east of the garden of [Eden], and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. ([Bereshith] 3:14-24 The Scriptures 1998+)
And He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all have to be filled that were written in the Torah of Mosheh and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me." Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, "Thus it has been written, and so it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and to rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His Name to all nations, beginning at Yerushalayim. "And you are witnesses of these matters. "And see, I am sending the Promise of My Father upon you, but you are to remain in the city of Yerushalayim until you are clothed with power from on high." And He led them out as far as [Beyth] Anyah, and lifting up His hands He blessed them. And it came to be, while He was blessing them, that He was parted from them and was taken up into the heaven. And they, having bowed down to Him, returned to Yerushalayim with great joy, and were continually in the Set-apart Place praising and blessing Elohim. [Amen]. (Luke 24:44-53 The Scriptures 1998+)
"For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Son, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life. "For Elohim did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." ([Yohanan] 3:16-17 The Scriptures 1998+)
"Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in Elohim, believe also in Me. "In My Father’s house are many staying places. And if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I shall come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you might be too. "And where I go you know, and the way you know." [Toma] said to Him, "Master, we do not know where You are going, and how are we able to know the way?" [Yeshua] said to him, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father too. From now on you know Him, and have seen." ([Yohanan] 14:1-7 The Scriptures 1998+)
But now, apart from the Torah, a righteousness of Elohim has been revealed, being witnessed by the Torah and the Prophets, and the righteousness of Elohim is through belief in [Yeshua] Messiah to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim, being declared right, without paying, by His favour through the redemption which is in Messiah [Yeshua], whom Elohim set forth as an atonement, through belief in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His tolerance Elohim had passed over the sins that had taken place before, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He is righteous and declares righteous the one who has belief in [Yeshua]. (Romans 3:21-26 The Scriptures 1998+)
Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, which is able to save your lives. And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Because if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom, and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah. If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless. Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. ([Yaaqob] 1:21-27 The Scriptures 1998+)
