Someone:
Since Jeezus (that is how you PRONOUNCE "Jesus") was NEVER what His mother
Mary, the Apostles, or His disciples called Him, why don't you "oneness"
people use His REAL NAME?  You could easily call Him "Yohoshua," the Hebrew
Name His mother Mary gave Him.  THEN you might claim you were "right" on
this issue.


Me:
I wonder what makes this Dennis person think that?  I don't see that name
listed in any text for the child Mary bore.  There are two places that the
name of the Child are listed as direct quotes.  One was written in Greek
(that is almost universally accepted since it is in Luke and Luke was a
Greek ;-) and the other is in Isaiah.  The name given in *Chaldean* in that
book was/still is:  Immanuel.  This name transliterated into Hebrew is then
Yashua.  ;-)

As for what Mary actually called the Child, the *pet name* for Yashua
(Joshua in English) in the dialect she most probably spoke was "Yee-shue".
So, Mary *might have called Him "yee-shue" from which the Greeks picked up
the name "yee-zues" which has been transliterated into "jee-zus" in English.
All of these deviations could of course be explained merely by "accent".
;->

Still, all you need to defeat the argument of the man above is that LUKE, a
man who was WITH Jesus, didn't have the FIRST problem transliterating the
name of the man into *Greek*.  If this *eyewitness* didn't have a problem
doing so in the very book of Acts (or didn't you know that Luke wrote it in
Greek too?) and while *quoting the Holy Ghost speaking through Peter*, then
why on this degraded and sinful planet should even a Pharisee of the New
World Order find fault with it?

Isaiah 28
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

He, being God here people, will speak to the *Hebrews* with "another
tongue".

Another: acher {akh-air'} 1) another, other, following 1a) following,
further 1b) other, different.

Tongue: lashown {law-shone'} or lashon {law-shone'} also (in plural)
feminine l@shonah {lesh-o-naw'} 1) tongue 1a) tongue (of men) 1a1) tongue
(literal) 1a2) tongue (organ of speech) 1b) language 1c) tongue (of animals)
1d) tongue (of fire) 1e) wedge, bay of sea (tongue-shaped)

Hmm...  Seems that God is a witness to this fact.  If God Himself says He
will use another tongue that Hebrew, why should we feel any danger?

As to the lie that Jews all spoke Hebrew (and can anyone really even begin
to tell WHAT that might be?).  Those who proffer this nonsense have erred
greatly not knowing the scriptures:

Acts 2
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation
under heaven.

6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were
confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

What???  Excuse me.  Did I ***READ*** that right???  Jews dwelling at
Jerusalem OUT OF EVERY NATION UNDER HEAVEN hear these men speak in ***their
own language***.  Now who in their right mind would believe it was a miracle
for those who all spoke Hebrew to hear others speak in Hebrew???  (too sad
to laugh at, though it is so ridiculous)

Even should they try, the Word stops that argument in their mouths:

Acts 2
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are
not all these which speak Galilaeans?

8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and
in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene,
and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful
works of God.

16 reagions Y'all with possibly dozens of languages EACH...

Was it these men who were speaking and glorifying God *in all these
different languages*?

Acts 2
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

NO!!!  It was the Spirit of *God* that was speaking in all these different
languages.

That sets an Immutable *legal* precedence Y'all!  One set by the example of
the Spirit of Jesus Himself.  It allows for every man to go boldly before
the throne with the NAME of God he has learned in his own language as well
as using the NAME of God in any other, *as long as* it denotes the One True
Living God Manifested in the flesh to bear the burden of guilt of the sins
of the world unto the death of that flesh Who then resurrected Himself.
