anyone who thinks we are against the name of Jesus does not understand us.

I understand you are not "against the name Jesus". What I don't understand is why you are in favor of a doctrine and approach that is NOWHERE taught by the apostles, and in fact is CONTRADICTED by their example.

That's what I don't understand.

FlamingZword A.K.A Birddog I agree with Esaias, while you say your not ant-Jesus you still say Jesus is a BAD transliteration. While you aren't saying His name means Horse, or Hippo, or Hail Zeus, you do sound a little Yawish Hebrew Rootish?

We may sound a little Yawish Hebrew Rootish, because the roots of Christianity are indeed Yawish Hebrew.

The whole Old Testament Hebrew Rootish, and so is the culture that Yeshua grew up in.

Our roots are Hebrew, Yeshua was not an American, An English person or even European.

And Yes Jesus is a bad transliteration because the translators made a mistake in choosing to translate using Greek names instead of translating using Hebrew names.

Here is a perfect example of what I was saying. "THEY" made a mistake, "THEY" used X instead of A? Bro, what else did "THEY" forget? How else did "THEY" take liberties and Hellenized these totally Hebrew documents? Away from their original intent? This is the spiral towards the drain. Let's remember that you are my friend, and I respect you, and mean you personally no offense. I want you to understand that. Just please explain to me how and better yet why did these Greeks Hellenize these Hebrew documents?
