Re: Jesus is a swear word

question...Why is the name of Jesus always under attack when the name of God is not? I don't understand how Yeshua can be spelled and pronounced so many different ways. But people have different accents and I guess eventually things got changed.

But the name of God is NOT Jehovah. That is an English interpretation of YHWH which is pronounced Yaweh. The name is Sacred and Holy and Any Jew will tell anyone else that you od not say that name lightly. He is Also called the Great I Am and many other things.

Here is my big Problem. This is not to offend but this is told to me by a muslim. The name allah is not what we think. He is not the same God. This is why. Muhammed chose to follow a demon that presented himself as a genie. He was very powerful and was a biblical Strongman. Muhammed chose to follow him. Not God. All these other faiths do not believe in the same God. Some are created from stone by their own hands. Some are demons that they have to apease. They admit this but they call them gods. Americans and others do not have any concept of the ethinic, cultural and traditional meanings. We are using our own termonlogy.

For instance, did you know that a muslim in the east considers ANYONE other than an easterner/ arab is an infidel and cannot convert to the islamic faith? But here in america, it happens all the time. It is considered an abomination in those countries.

Other than that, I don't believe Jesus is a swear word. I think it is strangly sybolic that there are thorns in the name of the one who wore thorns as a crown.

The letter in His name "J" a letter that you can convert between hebrew and english are substituted by the letter "Y" .
Translating has advanced greatly in the last 2000 years and we can understand better the things that we didn't know before. If you don't know words or meanings of verses, go and get a study bible with the explaination of every verse on every page.

ALSO, I am not thrilled with the explaination of Jesus taking up His cross. Jesus wanted us to live and act responsibly and be willing to die to our own desires, to take up our cross(our burdens) daily and follow him.

He also said to carry His yoke for His yoke is easy and His burden light. As compared to the heaviness of the world.

He also said to learn from Him. It seems to me, that no matter the burden, no matter the pain even unto death He stayed faithful to God. I very good lesson. He overcame death, hell and the grave. I aim to do the same.
