Will, <---(misnomer) <!-- s:inlove: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/inlove.gif" alt=":inlove:" title="In Love" /><!-- s:inlove: -->
I was willing to do as you wished, but since you responded to me directly about this, I'll respond back.
You stated:
But your opinions keep changing, Will. Mine hasn't. I have never had a problem with His name in any other languages. Nor has God.
As I have said, Yehoshua is fine...for the Hebrew form of His Name. Use it if you like, it won't bother me a bit and God won't be mad at you either if you got the letters or sound a bit off from what it might have been like in the 1st century.
Jesus spoke Hebrew & Aramaic, and He had used at least these two forms of His Name while on Earth. I don't have a problem using either of them, nor did He.
What seems to be your hang up, Will, is that you seem to think that the Hebrew form is the more holy one for some reason, and that we must not use any other from once we think we got it down just right, as if God would be upset if we do, or that the Name is less holy or less authoritative if it's not in Hebrew and said just right. If you do think like that, Will, you?re very mistaken. Hebrew is not a "holy language" and more special to God than other languages are. He is no respecter of Persons or languages, and is Worshiped and Praised just as well in all of them.
When Yehoshua/Yeshua is given His New Name by His Father, will you complain if it's not Hebrew?
Shlama,
Chuck
