Author	Thread: What is a name?
Admin	What is a name? Posted : 10 Sep, 2010 09:04 AM I use to be a ski instructor and would have students in my class from all over the world. One time I had 4 Chinese men in my class and the names they gave me were Tom, John, Robert & Steve. They could barely speak English so after hearing those names I said, wait a minute what are your real names? After hearing them I was thankful they chose to use Tom, John, Robert & Steve because I would have never been able to repeat there real names. Later I talked with another instructor that had worked around the world in the oil industry before he retired and he was telling me it is common practice for a man from one county to adopt a name that is familiar to the country they are in. The practice of name changing from culture to culture is not uncommon it was even done in the Bible. Joseph was given a new name in Egypt. Danial's name was changed in Babylon and his 3 friends, not many people memorize their Hebrew names but we all know Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego. My Bible calls the Savior "Jesus". Why the English translator called Yahshua Jesus I do not know and do not care, millions through the centuries including me have "accepted" Jesus as the name of the LORD and Savior. Until recently anyone taking about the savior would call him Jesus. My question is, why is the name Jesus not acceptable anymore in the English tongue? I still pray in Jesus' name, is that wrong? Would I have a closer walk with God if I change His name that I have used all my life? I am not trying to be disrespectful here, just wondering. Post Reply

View Profile History	What is a name? Posted : 10 Sep, 2010 03:18 PM @ Mr row. Names are important,especially the name of YHWH and his compound names: El-Shaddai,El elyon,EL ghibbor,Jehovah Shalom,Jehovah Rapha,etc. Each name of YHWH reveals his character,attitude and personality to those He made Himself and His name known to.. Yeshua-Ha-Messhiach: is Hebrew for Yeshua the Messiah. Jesus Christ is Greek:when pronounced is Hey Zues Christos which stands for,The Saviour who annoints Jesus also means:The son of Zues Jesus pronounced is HA Zues which sounds like Hey Zues.

Jude replies ~ It is Most Acceptable...Arent we Honord and Blessed as Gentiles and Christians to Claim the Name above all Names...Jesus*...:bow: And No !

If they persecuted me,they will Persecute you as well. I would just like to say,that Yeshua came unto the Hebrews,His Hebrew name is Yeshua/Yehoshua. The Lord is salvation: Post Reply

View Profile History	What is a name? Posted : 10 Sep, 2010 06:32 PM The Angels call Him Holy, Holy Holy. Actually I think they call Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords since that is His name now. Jesus in Hebrew was translated Joshua in the OT. It is a name that means savior. Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. I think names are important because they are a telling of character and nature. This isn't true in every case but it is sometimes true and I think it's interesting that if a person learns the meaning of their name they may try subconsciously or intentionally to live up to it. I know I try to live up to my name. That's mostly because I chose my last name and I want to be identified as that kind of person. It is a reflection of my gifts and the view of myself that Father gave to me in a dream. That and it cost $250.00 to get it so I'm not going to waste it!! THunder Post Reply
