Dear Jeshuafreak, I hear what you're saying. And if we reeeeeally want to get technical, even spelling God's name "YHWH" is not correct, because those are not Hebrew letters. And He does have so many names: LORD Sabaoth, Father, Creator, Mighty, Sovereign, Merciful. I would run out of words before I would run out of names for my God!! You said--P.S. Jesusfreak was taken when I adopted this name, in case yooue wondered . "Jesus Freak" was one of the first songs my stepson listened to regularly after he was saved. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

2nd Samuel 22, greetings! While I am keenly aware that the term "Jesus freak" is widely used in certain circles, I have never been comfortable with it by any means. I am a regenerate believer in Jesus Christ but would hardly subscribe to the idea that I have thereby been made freakish! There are so many negative connotations inherent in the word "freak" that I recoil at having it linked to my relationship to the Lord Jesus. Even the best sense of the meaning of "freak" -- an ardent enthusiast -- does not capture the meaning of my relationship to my Lord. It sounds too much like being a member of Jesus' fan club! --Hank | ||||||

That is ok Hank if you don't like it. You don't have to adopt the name. I am however "late harvest", I didn't grow up in the pews of a church. I grew up around drugs, sex, and alcohol, cons and bikers. I grew up striving to be different , before I became a Christian. Now how different I am. I am completely different from the old me. It makes me a freak, one who stands out in stark contrast to the backdrop in which I live. I am different for a good reason now. I have fully "come out of the closet" so to speak, and am not ashamed to tell others I am a Christian. And that makes me weird and freakish to the unregenerate. Let em laugh but I know the truth and the truth has set me free. -Jeshuafreak | ||||||
