If you don't mind me borrowing part of your post here.
Even if the first pretends to rejoice in Jesus, usually using a name that really means 'Yahweh, giver of law, is my only master'
I would like to use this quote to illustrate why I think we need to obey God in the New Testament to say, "Jesus is Lord".
If you use the Hebrew name, you are actually saying Jesus is not your Lord, but you are the servant of the Lord of Hosts who commands death and utter destruction.
Saying that Hebrew name causes you to be inviting the spirit of hate into your soul.

Jesus is divine, which means, good.
Saying Jesus is the Old Testament version of a god is fine with me but linking Jesus to the genocidal murderer god, (or angel, properly) of Sinai, is a despicable act, in my opinion. Saying he is one in the same, I believe, dooms you to Hell. I believe you have accepted a demon.

My impression from reading the Gospels is that there was an overabundance of scribes, who had too much time on their hands so they went around judging people.
Different groups of early Christians maintained their own oral traditions of [Jesus wisdom,] as writing was a very specialized skill in those times, and not every fellowship enjoyed the services of a Scribe. So, many traditions were in oral form.When written accounts of the teachings began to circulate, the independent groups would supplement them with their own traditions, each believing their own versions to be "the true Gospel."
"The appearances of the angel of the Lord cease after the incarnation of Christ. Angels are mentioned numerous times in the New Testament, but “the angel of the Lord” is never mentioned in the New Testament. It is possible that appearances of the angel of the Lord were manifestations of Jesus before His incarnation. Jesus declared Himself to be existent “before Abraham” (John 8:58), so it is logical that He would be active and manifest in the world. Whatever the case, whether the angel of the Lord was a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ (Christophany) or an appearance of God the Father (theophany), it is highly likely that the phrase “the angel of the Lord” usually identifies a physical appearance of God."
I'm not sure if you make this claim but for the sake of the discussion, let's say you are a Christian, and not just an ordinary pew warmer type, but someone who really wants to follow Jesus. You look at your Bible to see if Jesus gives any instruction on what sort of thing you should do to follow him, and you see the command to have as priority one, to cast out demons. So you decide that if Jesus said so, you should do it. Now you are all of a sudden a full blown exorcist on a mission. How do you find the demons to cast out and how do you treat the demon when you find it?

Do you watch movies or hear stories where demons are cast out in the name of Jesus?
Do you ever wonder if people who do not say or write, Jesus, but some Hebrew or Aramaic name instead, are demon possessed?
My friend....
I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry that you fail to understand the concepts of Love, Understanding, Forgiveness, and Compassion. I feel sorry that you fail to understand the two greatest commandments of Jesus (Love God with all your heart and soul, and to love your neighbor as yourself -Matthew 22:36-40). I feel sorry that you choose to be opposite in character to Jesus by being judgmental and condemning for mere minor offenses. I feel sorry that through your spiritual path, you have failed to build uniting love inside yourself, instead of separation and superiority.
I thought you were a lot more kind, and more spiritually advanced than this thread and title. It's your belief, who am I to condemn?

Would you in your exorcist mode seem very loving and nonjudgmental? My guess would be that if someone randomly came across you while driving out a demon, they would think you ill mannered and uncivilized, and just awful, and not a gentleman.
So what part of this post is on topic? The part about, satanic Bible? You think the Bible is satanic? Wow!
Apparently you didn't read the bible enough or remember any of it, much less ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in learning the truth of what you read. You should get your nose out of that satanic bible and read the teachings that Jesus left for us and stop being a false prophet. It was the Lords will for us to come together and fellowship with eachother, and that is in the bible, not go all maverick and solo.
Meh, whatever dude. I'm done quibbling with you. I'm content to let you go on living the delusions you live in because you refuse to hear the truth from the Lord. Not to mention you antagonize your brothers in Christ and try to divide and conquer just like Satan does which makes me wonder if you truly do believe in Jesus, because a true believer doesnt seek to split his brothers apart and cause turmoil, which is exactly what you do.

"These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."
Sinner.

We are not told to go out to the apostate Christians.
Sounds very cult-like, like Jehovah's Witnesses.
Bull JM, in Christ's Prodigal Son story the older brother knew his brother was in trouble and didn't try and help him. He knew enough about his brother's activities to tell dad what he had been up to, but he didn't offer him a hand up out of the pigpen back to the Father's house, back to love and fellowship with Him. He wasn't an extension of his Father's love toward his brother.
"Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."

James is talking about a believer who starts doing sinful things, not someone who is no longer a believer.

This is a little game where there is this secret lie, or a secret unanswered question. It is a boring game I am not in the least bit interested in.
You don't even remember the lie you told, typical.
Little clue, it had nothing to do with Hebrew.
Do you even go to a church?
Is the nonsense that you spew your own or was it learned from another?
It still comes down to, I have the Bible, and you have speculation.

Well, isn't that just funny, that I would just be making up that there are such people who teach that the "real" name of Jesus is some Aramaic or Hebrew name and that the Bible is wrong.
You're 100% wrong, and virtually everyone here is telling you the same thing. His name is Jesus. It's also Iseus. It's Yahshua.
God's name is YHWH. Jesus is God's manifestation in flesh. Yahshua = YAH saves. You refuse to deal with this fact. His translated name, since we do have a "J" sound in English would be "Joshua". Whatever name people use for the Son of God it's still His life, death, and resurrection that delivers us.
I covered that twice already but am happy enough to repeat it. The language called Hebrew and in use today as a conversational mode of speech was invented to be the official state language for Israel, where they burn New Testaments, so there is no Hebrew New Testaments.
So what happens to all those who read the NT written in Hebrew?
Again where in the NT does it back your claims?
Instead of telling me a cultist opinion, PROVE it to me that this is a true fact.
If you can't back it with scripture then you are a false prophet.
Line is drawn in the sand son, enough of the go around and time to man up.
If not then it is time to shut up.
I'm not trying to be all nit picky and I understand how different languages have to deal with translations. I am, as you understand, talking about intentionally changing something long established, for a purpose, and I think it is a jealousy for monopolizing the prestige that comes with being God, something the real God would have no interest in.
As I know you are aware, the Greek for of a name is conjugated-- something we do not do in English; and so how a name is presented has to do with the part of speech-- usually as an object of a preposition ("of"). I blame the Tower of Babel for any mistakes we may make with the Name of Jesus-- if those errors are made in good faith. (grin)
