Admin	New Names? Posted : 9 May, 2011 06:33 AM God changed Abram's name to Abraham. (Genesis 17:5) ____________________________ Jacob's name was changed to Israel (Genesis 32:28) _____________________________ Gideon's name was changed to Jerubbaal (Judges 6:32) ____________________________ Saul (also Paul) Acts 13:9 _____________________________ God named Adam and Adam named Eve. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Revelations 19:12 it says He Had a name written,that no man knew, but he, himself. ____________________________ I heard someone say yesterday, "Yep, that's my God-given name"; and I immediately thought , " no, that's the one your mother gave you". ~~~~~~ Do you guys think we will be given new names in heaven? ~~~~~~~And do you know any other instances where God changed someone's name?

View Profile History	New Names? Posted : 9 May, 2011 08:57 AM Still thinking about names. Lol ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Ruth 1:20 Naomi asked to change her name to Mara. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ God calls the stars by their names. Seems names are important to Him? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2Samuel 12:25-- And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the Lord. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the Old Testament, there were many names given , because of the Lord.

Posted : 9 May, 2011 11:02 AM I don't know anyone who has actually had his/her name changed by God, but I once knew an Asian girl who picked a Biblical nickname when she came to the USA (her Asian name was hard to pronounce)...she picked it based on her own similarities to the person in the Bible. That's not exactly the same as what you are talking about, I know, but it is a case of someone taking a new name and basing the choice on her Christian faith. Post Reply
View Profile History	New Names? Posted : 9 May, 2011 11:40 AM Hi sisters, if i would have a chance I would also change my name. May be in the Kingdom of Heaven God will change names of His people because the meaning of words is important to Him. Jewish names have meanings. But I know also how 'christian' churches try to deceive people in my country and they insist to get a new name from God! ...It is such a madness....Do not do it and live as God says in the Bible. Blessings. Bahira Post Reply
