Greetings Rakpak! The Greeks used the Greek form of Jesus' Hebrew name. I use the English form of the Greek word, since I speak English. :-) If I wanted to use the English form of His Hebrew name, I would call Him Joshua. My whole point in this discussion is simply that there is no special merit to calling Him by His Hebrew name, when even the New Testament doesn't do it. Years ago, I remember a series of posts where someone claimed that Scripture had removed the name of God from Scripture since they translated 'YHWH' as God. In that series, I noted that when Jesus quoted a passage where the word 'YHWH' appeared in the OT passage, He translated it as 'Lord' instead. My point in that series of posts was that apparently God doesn't have the same hangups about the original 'name' that so many of us seem to have. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

"I would call Him Joshua", I couldn't agree with you more on this statement, and as I have said all along, that is my personal preference, I never told anyone they HAD to use his Hebrew name. | ||||||
