How many Gods do you think are in Heaven?
What God was they all referring to?
I think what you mean is that my statement is an oxymoron. I guess I live with it, if I am going to support the usage of the New Testament, since it says, the will of the Father is to believe in the Son. I get your point and can imagine how it may not work for you and you have your own sense of integrity I have to respect.

If you don't mind me borrowing part of your post here.
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".
Feel free.I think 'Lord' is very much the same as master. Can't really have two masters.

Apparently you think there were a few. You are asking this question for a reason, and I imagine from the earlier part of your post, that you intend to prove Jesus is God, thus making a multitude of Gods, am I correct?
Consider who the writer is, the one infamous for daring to talk about faith without works being dead. He is talking about works. The whole chapter is on works and this is the conclusion. It would be strange to imagine him switching topics right then.
Isn't it a sin to believe and then not believe? (Not attacking those who no longer believe, just going by Orthodoxy of Christianity.)
I have some recollection of that discussion and these things are hard enough to keep track of when they are going on. Don't worry about offending me or anything.
I forgot that was a post on a different subject. Sorry about that one. You were not the one who introduced predestination. Please forgive my error on that

Considering all this, your use of Yeshua (or whatever) in place of, Jesus, is only logical and fits your religion of hate and death.edit on 19-9-2011 by jmdewey60 because: (no reason given)

Sorry, was having a problem sorting out what you were getting at. I am glad you did not get into what I consider dangerous.
Did you not read my posts where I said I call Him Jesus? And yes, one day He is coming back to destroy the world. I can't change it, I can't argue with Him and I can't change His mind on that.
Revelation 19:16 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Really that sounds terrible. But I can't change it.

I did look at it. And no, I am not a Sacred Name Only person. I said that I say Jesus.
I however do not dissuade anyone saying Jesus according to their own language. wiki.answers.com...
I never once said that you had to say Jesus in Hebrew. If people want to then that is ok. No matter your language, there is a way to say Jesus because English is not the only language. That does not mean that it is another Jesus.
OK, Sorry. I got mixed up for a minute, looking at your post and seeing it look identical to what NOTurTYPICAL was saying.

What I think is that Jesus ended the Old Covenant and had to be a god in order to be able to do that.
He had to become a man in order to die.
Whatever god qualities he had previously, he emptied himself of, so as to put himself on an equality to the people he was to represent. He was able to live without sin and so takes his place as the Second Adam, while at the same time gave his blood to break the blood oath that we are now redeemed from.
I don't think Jesus is, or was, an angel and was something that was the closest thing to God there could be.
I believe that Jesus gave up being whatever sort of god he was, since I have to think that it would have been in the terms of the contract that he ended. The covenant ends, the god breaking the covenant dies. As a result of his loss of godhood, and being human, the rest of the humans are saved. So there was an infinite sacrifice by Jesus because the affects last on him, forever.edit on 19-9-2011 by jmdewey60 because: (no reason given)
What if someone decided the real name of Jesus was, "I Command You to Kill Everyone Who does not Worship Me"

Try to think about that without all the brain washing, and see if it really makes any sense.
Jesus was not a god, Jesus IS God because He is part of God, He is in God and He agrees in unity with God. Jesus came in the flesh as an infant because that was the Grand Purpose designed by God. Jesus is more than good, He is divine because His divinity is because He is God, He is the Son.
Yes you can.

This is all figures and portents, images with metaphorical meanings.
What is the sword? Truth, the word of God. Why is it coming from this person's mouth?
It is the pure church going forth to fight ignorance and lies.
This is not Jesus, and they are not armed for physical combat.
Jesus is not a murderer.
He is only in your mind when you let people tell you what these figures mean.
Jesus is love and life, not hate and death.
People want him to be because they hate and they kill.

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.
That is not God's name, it is something an angel said in response to a request for its name, so even if it was a name, it was of the angel, not God. The angel was talking about itself. It said, In the past I have appeared to your fathers, as one form of God and name, but now I am appearing to you as myself, who I am.
And, Jesus is not the Father. Jesus is a man who was pointed out and given a sort of anointing by The Baptist and given the Holy Spirit and declared to be, The Son, by a thunderous voice from heaven, taken by some to have been God, Himself.
