Will,
It seems you have been infected by SNS..."Sacred Name Syndrome"...but the good news is, there's a cure for it!
And your name IS a misnomer...it's a shortened form of the name William. Now, make the same argument apply to your name, and see if it makes any sense at all...as you are trying to do with The Messiah's Name.
His name is awesome, in any language, and I have nothing but respect for all forms of it, and so should you. Just like you and I have respect for each other?s form of the longer name, i.e. William and Charles. Your Parents chose to give you the shorted form, while my Parents chose to give me the longer form...You can also call me Chas or Charley if you like, it won't bother me at all.
Jesus must have been called by at least two forms of His Name, The Hebrew and the Aramaic forms, which was the main languages in use at that time in Israel among the Jewish People. The Greek and Latin forms were most likely also heard by Him, from those who spoke those languages.
Will, you seem to think that Our Father gets upset if you don't use Hebrew terms when referring to Him or speaking with Him. If this is true, then He's upset all the time with millions of His Children who don't speak Hebrew, but use their own languages to speak with and refer to Him.
I'm part American Indian, for instance, and I have my Choctaw Bible here in front of me. The term for "God", is "Chittokaka" (Great/Strong One), and the Name for His Son, is "Chisas Kilaist", a transliteration of "Jesus Christ", YHWH is "Chihowa", a transliteration of Jehovah...and The Holy Spirit is called "Shilombish (Spirit) Holitopa (Holy)".
Are you prejudiced against those names/terms? I'm certainly not, nor any other language forms.
And I thought this is rather odd, Will...but the name in Choctaw for "Will", your name, is "Chuk". <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
