Quietfire Posted June 7, 2004 Author Posted June 7, 2004 (edited) I am still encouraging everyone to submit information here. After all, this is how I am learning right now. I continue to thank God for Phatmass on a daily basis. [quote](hmmm...maybe I'll try to hunt a couple of titles for you--they might help!)[/quote] By all means MG. I welcome any and all information. Just call me a sponge!!!! Edited June 7, 2004 by Quietfire
cmotherofpirl Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Is God any less God if we call him Elohim [Master of the Universe, Genesis 1:1] or Yahweh [Lord God, Genesis 2:2]? This is the same type of argument.
DojoGrant Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 This may sound stupid, but if we get Jesus from the Hebrew for Joshua...why do we not call him Joshua?
Aloysius Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 cuz it came through the greek and the latin and out the other end as Jesus.

Yet it's interesting that your words are "Is GOD... Elohim is Creator. I read a book a while back on all the different names of God (some of which I already typed above) and I walked away noticing that all the time it was "GOD is Elohim, GOD is Yahweh etc...." and I kept thinking "Yeh, thats GOD. He is everywhere, everything. You know..GOD." I think I've even stated on other threads that Yahweh is my Elohim. GOD is my creator. Each of his names has a meaning, really. It didnt change my view of GOD, but rather I understood more that you can actually use all His names and still be talking to him, or you may call him GOD. When I stated that it could somehow limit GOD, I should have been more specific. When we use GOD we do not limit, we understand that HE is everything. I'll see if I can get the book back, I loaned it out. It was really cool. Peace.
Mickey's_Girl Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 The story I was thinking of is called "The Eye of Apollo", found in _The Innocence of Father Brown_, by G.K. Chesterton. I know there are more; if I find them, I'll pass them along. Here's a link: [url="http://www.pagebypagebooks.com/Gilbert_K_Chesterton/The_Innocence_of_Father_Brown/The_Eye_of_Apollo_p1.html"]The Eye of Apollo[/url] If that doesn't work, just type "Eye of Apollo" and "Chesterton" together in a search engine, and there are several other places to access it online.

Quietfire Posted June 7, 2004 Author Posted June 7, 2004 How odd, MG, that there are striking similarities there. I wonder if I posted this on the other site, would my sis get the point? I doubt it. Thank you though, it was good reading. Peace.
Crusader_4 Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Hey i couldnt help it but here is kind of a kewl example...My name is William in English....but lets say the germans picked up on my name it would b Villhelm (not exact but sounds like that) and then if the french take my name it would be Guyhomme so its funny how names change according to different languages and Jesus' name is really no different.
Quietfire Posted June 7, 2004 Author Posted June 7, 2004 Totally agree with that Will. I tried to explain that to this person. Now...any info on the name Saphira? (Acts 5) I've already given some info on the person who shares that name. I would be interested to find if there are any other similarities. Peace.
Quietfire Posted June 28, 2004 Author Posted June 28, 2004 [quote]The -us is a give away. LOL![/quote] Dont mind me. Iacobus made this quote in Open Mic and I immediately thought of my thread on the name of Jesus and figured I'd add it here to help me. In Latin a man's name would end in 'us'. A woman's would end in 'a'. Well, that kills the whole 'sus' thing that this person argued about. Things are looking a bit less foggy when I see that. But now to put it all together to form some kind of coherant arguement. Now why didnt he put that in this thread when I originally posted it? MEN!!!!! Peace :peace:
Guest HawleyluYah Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 It is sad to see people looking for reasons not to have to use the one true name given among men that we all need to be save. It is a name above every other name. How can there be more then one? The Son came to honor his Father, even in name. Exo 23:21 "Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him. Psa 89:24 "But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, And in My name his horn shall be exalted. Psa 118:26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh! We have blessed you from the house of Yahweh. Psa 148:13 Let them praise the name of Yahweh, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. Psa 148:14 And He has exalted the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints; Of the children of Israel, A people near to Him. Praise Yahweh! Acts 4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven GIVEN among men by which we must be saved." Mat 21:9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of Yahweh!' Hosanna in the highest!" Mat 23:39 "for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of Yahweh!'" Mark 11:9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of Yahweh!' Mark 11:10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David That comes in the name of Yahweh! Hosanna in the highest!" Mat 1:21 "And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name YAHoshua,(Yahweh is Salvation) for He (Yahweh) will save His people from their sins." Please conceder this I am in a hurry right now but if you like I will go into more detail later tonight.
Winchester Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Too many vowels to really be authentic, Hawlly
Resurrexi Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 I guess it's bad to refer to Jose as Joseph...
Guest HawleyluYah Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 [quote name='Winchester' post='1086594' date='Oct 8 2006, 12:05 AM'] Too many vowels to really be authentic, Hawlly [/quote] How so?
Paladin Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 [quote name='HawleyluYah' post='1086433' date='Oct 7 2006, 07:05 PM'] It is sad to see people looking for reasons not to have to use the one true name given among men that we all need to be save. It is a name above every other name. How can there be more then one? [/quote] Yes, all are saved under one name. But there's no stipulation that all know that name. I'm sure there are many in Heaven who, prior to the Beatific Vision, never heard of Jesus Christ, Yeshua, YAHoshua, etc. The reason the Israelites called their God "Yahweh" was because they did not know his True Name; indeed, no one could, for it was far beyond human reason. "Yeshua" means "God Saves." "Christ" and "Messiah" both mean "Savior." Jesus Christ is the Savior, and God Saves. Is there really any more we need to know about what to call him?
