Bible Question (short): A Third Name? |
Question (full): Doctor emery, I presume? :-) Am I correct in saying that you are proposing that a third possibility exists in proper usage of the name of the Lord? That of YaHWeH? I must admit that it is an interesting hypothesis, but, though the name is valid, the argument is gobbledegook to me. It sounds more like the Jehovah's Witnesses at worst, or, at best, trying to legitimatize the Messianic Jews as something 'more than a Christian.' Giving you the benefit of the doubt regarding your motives, I would have to say that I can see no practical reason why God would be this cryptic. It would take a doctorate to figure out the proper name for living in the Lord! The verse above, and about 900 other entries, proclaim that His name is Jesus. Though this could be Y'hoshua, Ie_sous, Y'heshua, Joshua, (Iesu, in Japanese) or whatever your translation says, it is not YaHWeH. I cannot help but think that God would be much more clear if He intended us to call upon His Old Testament moniker. Thank you for the brain-teaser! In Christ Jesus |
