Bible Question:
Firstly, thankyou very much for answering my questions. They were insightful and heartening, and shed new light on the term 'Lord', as used in the new scripture. Thankyou very much :) Secondly, I'm still not very sure what you are saying. Do you mean to say that saying 'Jesus' without the 'Lord' is blasphemy. Because this surely cannot be true. I would concede if by saying 'Jesus', you were renouncing the title of 'Lord' to Jesus, but for myself when I call His name, it is filled with the meaning of all of the previously mentioned descriptives, foremost of all being 'Lord'. If you analyse this 'compulsory title' with a secular mind (which we should do in order to see how the world views us in order to see that our evangelism is not stale), we can see that the 'Lord' part is really just a word. It is the meaning you put behind the name 'Jesus, and what you say about that name, that makes ALL the difference. I guess I'm simply stating that I find it hard to believe that saying 'Jesus' without the 'Lord' suffix is blasphemy, as when I utter the name of Christ I carry that meaning with it regardless. |
Bible Answer: Dear dboy: I never meant that "saying 'Jesus' without the 'Lord' is blasphemy." Nor did I mean to imply that addressing Jesus as Lord Jesus Christ was in any way mandatory. I was merely pointing out how He is normally referred to in the NT after the book of Acts and what all the title "Lord" means. Again "Lord" is not "just a word." That word is loaded with meaning in the Scriptures. And we have abundant Scripture references that show how important the title Lord is when applied to the name Jesus. Again, there are 106 times in the NT where the words "Lord Jesus Christ" are used together. Don't you think God is trying to tell us something? . . . But I never in any way meant to criticize or condemn you for choosing to use the name Jesus by itself. And, yes, the use of the name Jesus by itself is very common in the church world today. You obviously love and honor Jesus Christ and His Word. I was merely pointing out some Biblical teaching on the subject. . . . I am glad that my previous answers were insightful and shed new light for you. God bless you in your walk with Him. Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. God richly bless you. Yours in Christ, JVH0212 |
