Hebrew Translation.

This is an email to Ray by someone.


Dear Mr Smith
I noted on your John Hagee letter that you support the use of the original language in which we are given the Holy Scripture, Hebrew.  Yet you use the greek translated to english name for our MESSIACH.  Why the inconsistancy? Should we not proclaim the given NAME of YASHUA to the world as the martyrs of the early "set-aside ones" did?  YAHUSHUA came to restore the name, should we not do the same?
YAHSHUA is ADONAI

Dear Eric:
Just where might i find a copy of this "original laguage" of the Hebrew New Testament?
God be with you,
Ray


Ha! I really like Ray's answer with a question. It really bother's me when people have the nerve to insist that you call Jesus by His Hebrew name. What's next, we have to speak Hebrew fluenlty before we can call upon the name of The Lord?  And is Jesus now still a Jew? Is He nothing more than a man, that should have a nationality?

...and was The Lamb Of God, slain from the foundation of the earth, a Jew before coming down to earth, before becoming flesh? I tend to believe He was just a temporal Jew while in the flesh for about 30 some odd years. So why should God care if you call Him Jesus or Yashua or whatever? Doesn't the flesh profit nothing?

Hi ,

I agree,  Or are we so arrogant in our thinking that we are to beleive God cannot understand who we are reffering to when we say the name Jesus Christ?

Right on Chris.  It's all legalism.  There really is nothing new under the sun.
