His Name

[Hummingbird]

After reading and searching through Scripture and using online resources I have learned that names like Jesus Christ and God come from pagan teachings.The name god is synonymous with the name gad which when using a Hebrew translator means "bitter herb" or "wormwood",the name Baal translates to "husband,owner, possessor and LORD" which is used in christianity.The name Jesus is also Iseous meaning "hail Zeus,horse and there is the acronoym Yeshu meaning "may his name be blotted out";IHS (holy name of jesus) also "in hoc signo vinces (in this sign you will conquer) used by Constantine the great.IHS was the mystery name of Bacchus (Tammuz).The word Christ comes from christes meaning to whitewash which means to make falsehood look like truth (used in Ezekiel13:10-15,Matthew 23:27-28) The followers of Serapsis who was a Greco-Egyptian diety introduced on the orders of Ptolemy I Soter and had a temple at Babylon were called "Christians".The father's name is Yahuah and the son's name is Yahusha.

There is so much garbage online, that even the secret name society aren't consistent on what names mean!

The Father's and Son's name is different? Wrong!

Joh 5:43  'I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive

Joh 10:25  Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me

Joh 17:6  I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

The proper name Jesus /ˈdʒiːzəs/ used in the English language originates from the Latin form of the Greek name Ἰησοῦς ("Iēsous"), a rendition of the Hebrew Yeshua (ישוע‎), also having the variants Joshua or Jeshua. In a religious context the name refers to Jesus, the central figure of Christianity.

IMO it's like this:

My third child's middle name is Giovanni. Italian for John. John means "God is gracious."

Should we worry that because different languages spell and pronounce the name differently that God will not hear our prayers or we are somehow accidentally not Christians? It's what is in our hearts, not how we spell or pronounce Jesus's name. God knows what we mean.

Ian is my middle name, and that was a cool discovery, to know ir means In too.

I am fine if someone uses the name Yeshua, but just speak all Hebrew when using that word. Jesus would be the English form of the word. It is getting quite tiring to hear people use a Hebrew form of the name, and declare all other forms of the word wrong.

But ultimately, as you say, it is the heart and intention of the person, not exactly the name that they use. I don't think someone's prayers will not get answered because they didnt know of this "secret name."

 :cloud9: I agree. I avoid arguing with people over names. Now that I know His Hebrew name I prefer using it, but He heard me just fine when I called Him, "Jesus". He looks at the motive of the heart. Blessings....
