Subject: What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? |
Bible Note: Tim, Yes, I do not think it is a major issue. I just think it is a matter of respect. I think we all would prefer that people say our names in English rather than some other language. There are some studies I have seen on the origin of the terms "Jesus", "Lord" etc. but I have not pursued it thoroughly. I think its easier to use the exact name He gave and that avoids confusion or any suspect etymology. I believe YHWH chose Hebrew for very good reason. I am beginning to learn the basics of the Hebrew language. From what I understand, once you do there are many different levels of understanding contained in the original Hebrew text.
