How the devil hates the name of Yeshua! However it is honored in Heaven.

By the way who hates the name of Jesus here? So absurd.

How do you know?

Not only are you claiming to be an Academic of ancient Greek, now you claim to have been to heaven to tell us what is honored there.

Just get real without all of this phony pretense and just speak English. There is no need of bringing confusion about the name. God watched over his Word over the centuries and preserved it in the manner in wanted me to have it. In all of my reading the Word of God which God divinely delivered to me, I find no mention of "Yesuah" in all of its many pages.

We agree.

In 2000 when I first came onto the Oneness forums the reaction toward subjects such as it being a sin for men to wear beards or to not be a tither was about the same as this reaction against the name of Yeshua. Eleven years later its a much different story concering these issues.

I believe in the coming years there will also be big change on this issue. Many Oneness Pentecostals will come to understand and honor the name of Yeshua the Messiah.

Actually its not based on that the name cannot be lost its based on THERE WAS A NAME. A name given by Gabriel the Archangel from YHWH for the naming of his Son. It was not an English name. It was not a Greek name. It was a Hebrew/Aramaic name.

When he was on Earth his friends and family called him by it. The Apostles preached it and prayed to him through it. Peter said there was no other name whereby we must be saved.

Thats the point. Its important to YHWH.

As a side issue it certainly would be ridiculous to think that the greatest man who ever lived who himself was YHWH manifest in the flesh would allow the New Testament Church to forget or lose his name.

We know the name of Abraham dont we? How about Moses or Noah? They were much further back in time than Yeshua. Yet he who was far greater than them has somehow lost his name or does not care if anyone knows it or not.

Hebrew is no more holy than any other language in and of itself as a language. The only reason God gave the name in whatever language He gave it by the angel is because that is the only language Mary knew. And the bible does nto say the angel spoke in Hebrew. That is an assumption. They spoke Aramaic then. Nevertheless, the name in Hebrew is no more holy nor superior if in another language. Languages are fleshly things. The language is only meant to convey the thought or the truth so our minds can relate to that thought or truth. The pipeline of the language is not as vital by far as the contents flowing through the pipeline.

It MAKES NO DIFFERENCE if it is spoken in Hebrew or Swahili! Sound waves being lost do not matter at all. What matters is the identification by whatever word or name we use that points to the One True God. If a person cannot even talk and all they can do is point up in the air and their intention is to refer to the One True God, then that is as good as saying the Hebrew name.

Are you sure Jesus spoke Hebrew?
