There is another sacred name guy on the forum his pronunciations sounds nothing like the one you give.
I have a YaVeh Bible and they send the "W" folks to Hell.
And guess what they can't read or speak Hebrew either.
The guys I debated have been rebaptized since I debated them they have been baptized 4 times in a guessing game name. Neither can barely read or speak English and they are trying to explain ancient Hebrew to me.
Around the world repented folks are baptized in Jesus Name pronouncing it in their common tongue and no violation is done.

Steve,
As you know quite well I have been telling you over a period of years now I do not speak Hebrew. Neither have I at any time tried to get you to use Yeshua. I have presented what I believe is true and defended the name against your attacks.
You continually mock that if we cant read Hebrew we have no buisness calling the Lord Yeshua. This is not valid at all. Millions of people own a Concordance or use study guides and make points in their doctrine from them.
I compare what you are saying to this.
A Hebrew Christian comes along and says "Steve you cannot even read the Bible". They might say that because it was
FIRST written in
THEIR language. They might laugh and mock and tell
YOU you have no right to discuss it because you cant even read it except in a translated form filtered through men.
You:
Around the world repented folks are baptized in Jesus Name pronouncing it in their common tongue and no violation is done.:
Me:
So it is a violation for
ME to speak the name of Jesus in the form that is the common one of the Jews but it is NOT a violation for them!
What many Apostolics and others seem to be saying is that in EVERY NATION there is an acceptable name to use in their own tongue EXCEPT FOR ISRAEL!
Are you saying that Steve? What name is acceptable for people in the land of ISRAEL to use when talking to THEIR MESSIAH? Of all nations on Earth are THEY the only ones who do NOT have a name for the Messiah?
Are Americans better than the Jews that
WE have an acceptable name for the Savior but
THEY DO NOT?
And if they do why is it a
VIOLATION for me to use that name seeing it originated in Israel and was used by all the Biblical characters?
