Bible Note: Ethan Yes Joe knows the Jesus of the Mormons is a made up being, and yes he knew that the name Jesus in Hebrew was Yeshua. What he was saying was Mormons first consider Jesus to authentic and they do not view the name Jesus as corrupted. That is not saying someone on the forum didn't say the name was corrupted. They simply don't understand that names within languages often change. The name isn't corrupted it just spelled and pronounced very differently. The problem your having is you took what someone said in error as fact and your now repeating it as fact. If I said 2 plus 2 equal 5 and you repeated it would it be a fact? No, it still would be wrong but now both of us are wrong. That is what Joe was trying to tell you. Mormons as a whole do not consider the name Jesus to corrupted. Even though you heard this from a Mormon and even though you were a Mormon, the vast majority of Mormons do not hold the belief that the name of Jesus is corrupted. Proof is they even use Jesus in their name. Now to your English is better than Greek, if that is what you want to believe okay, but understand you were told truth and if you want to continue in ignorance that is your choice. Think about some English words that have so many meanings. Like "junk" that can mean anything from junk in junkyard to drugs. Or "hot can mean ‘temperature’ to ‘great’ to ‘mad’. When I say something was "hot" you can not tell if I meant it's temperature, or if it was stolen, or if was good. In Greek you don't have that problem. That is why you need so many English words to translate a Greek word. If I was translating the Greek word for "hot" I would have to say. It had a high temperature. Thus you would know I was talking about temperature rather than it being stolen. In English you would very imprecisely look to see how it was used in a sentence to figure out the meaning. Ethan I'm truly trying to be a friend!!! EdB |
