Bible Question:
Dear fellow believers, Not to be dogmatic, but has anyone noticed lately the flood of new members calling Jesus by the name(s) "Yashua", "Y'shua", "Jeshua", etc. I understand that "Jesus" was His name in Greek, and the others(however you want to spell them) are His Hebrew name. But it is awfully peculiar that we have had at least 3 new members calling Him by one of these names within the last week or two. There is a sect called the "Sacred Name" or "House of Yahweh", who DEMAND that we refer to Him by His Hebrew name. And when I used to(used to, that is) go to Christian chat rooms, they would pop in 2 or 3 at a time. I'm not saying this is happening here, but it is quite a coincidence. Again, I don't mean to ruffle feathers, this is just an observation. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
Bible Answer: 2nd Samuel 22 - I demand that you call Him Joshua!! Just kidding...but that is what we would call Him if He was growing up on our block in rural or suburban america. His name means the "the Lord is salvation"or "the Lord saves" , which is kind of funny if you think about it. When we say Jesus saves, we are being redundant. My real name is Joshua and I could call myself Jesus if I was Hispanic. Actually I saw a Spanish Bible and it had the book of Joshua spelled Josue', pronounced hoe-sway. You know it doesn't matter though as long as youo know you are talking about Jesus Christ the omnipotent eternal Apha and Omega Lord of lords King of kings forever exalted...He is exalted, the King is exalted on High and I will praise His name.... if I had no toungue in which to speak His name I would still praise His name. How bout the old testament saints that didn't know His name? They still praised His name... the One Who had no name. The one who was just a tetragram. YHWH... Someday we will speak His proper name in glory. What is truely important is the meaning behind the name. Are you a true Christian? If so who is Jesus , Y'Shua, Yeshua, Jeshua, Joshua, Josue' to you. I assure you He is God. He was and is the God-man. He is not spirit brother to Lucifer as the JW's assert. He is not anything less than who He is He is the great I AM.. Sorry bout my ramblings and I will catch you all later.- Jeshuafreak ------ P.S. Jesusfreak was taken when I adopted this name, in case yooue wondered |
