1 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | Wild Olive Shoot | 217005 | ||
Then why not just call him Jesus? I'm curious as to why some choose one name over the other. Stand in His grace, WOS |

My personal thought is, and this is just FOR ME. I don't think man has the right to change his name, so it is just my personal preference. And actually, everyone who says, Hallelujah, is using his Hebrew name also. But above all, lets all remember to call upon Him. |

Hi, RakPak... So, what you are saying, is that a man named Richard should insist on not being called Ricardo in Spain, Riccardo in Italy, Rijkert in Denmark, and Rikert in Germany? Furthermore, your premise would indicate that you disagree with James -- Christ's half-brother -- who called Him Iesous (Jesus); or how about his disciples who called Him by that name -- Matthew, John, Peter, etc; or how about Mark, Paul, and Luke who did the same; or how about the fact that Jesus called Himself Jesus on a number of occasions -- in His earthly ministry and after it -- when He called Himself by that name? I think we want to use the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in the cultural context in which we find ourselves. Consequently, since we are an English based forum -- not Hebrew -- why not communicate with one another in comprehensible language (1 Corinthians 14:8-11). In Him, Doc |

Again, all I did was answer a question, everyone has to do what they believe is right, and since he was Hebrew I prefer to use his Hebrew name. And James would be pronounced something like yah-ak-obe'. |

Hi, RakPak... I am Hebrew too. Do you think that you accrue some benefit with God to use Hebrew? The church used Greek -- as did James, by the way. Because they wanted to communicate to as many people as possible. Do you think they were compromising by using Iesous instead of Hebrew? We seek to do what is right, it is true. However, when we deviate from the orthodoxy of Christianity, we need better reasons than "I do what is right in my own eyes." All that aside... You are seeking to communicate with a set of Bible students. Wouldn't you want to use language that does not impede our study, but rather what most effectively communicates? In Him, Doc |

As I stated before, using his Hebrew names is my personal preference, I am not telling anyone they have to. I enjoy looking into the Hebrew names and their meanings. If you want to use Iesous or Iesou, because it is spelled thay way also in the greek text, by all means use it. I still use the name Jesus when talking to others that use the name Jesus. But teaching His Hebrew name is not that complicated, and you might be suprised at how many Bible students already know it. Pro 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? Then on the other hand, if you are witnessing to a Jewish person, they would understand the Hebrew name much easier, and its easier to point out in the OT. Every christian I know speaks at least to words in Hebrew. HalleluYah-Praise Yah |
