However the original issue that has been presented in this thread is that only by pronouncing Christ's name as JAHESHUA can one expect to have a hearing from Heaven and even be saved from the broad road of destruction.
You have misread my post... and as a result certainly my intent, dear DH (peace to you!). I understand the first, but not the second. Can you explain, please?
For the writers of the NT, it seems that Jesus was "ok" with them, even the writers of the Septuagint tranlated Joshua to "Iesous" and the Septuaint was done in about 280 BC
Dearest, dear PSacto... the greatest of love and peace to you. Please accept my sincere apologies and I do NOT mean to offend, but what you have stated here is incorrect, dear one. The name "Jesus" was not "okay" with the NT writers. That name didn't even exist until the early 1600s... when the King James Bible was commissioned.
Come ON, dear ones (and please note... I am not yelling below... nor taking issues with men): if you won't at least listen to the Holy Spirit... at least... THINK! The NT was written in Hebrew/Aramaic... and Greek. "Jesus"... is an ENGLISH word - ENGLISH... didn't EXIST at the time of the writing of the NT. Even more... the language at the time of the canonization... was... LATIN. The language... of the ROMANS (you know, the Jews/Christians BEST friends during the 1st century?). Thus... the Latin Vulgate. Thus... "HE ZEUS".
But wait... there is more. The name "Ieosus" did NOT appear in the Septuagint. The Greek transliteration for JAHESHUA (or Yahsua... Yeshua... even, Joshua, but not really, because that's English!)... which is NOT "Ieosus"... but... gamma sigma eta upsilon sigma... appeared there. "Ieosus" is the result of the LATER Greek transliterations... such as what is found in the Greek NT (which contains absolutely NO traces of the Hebrew/Aramaic, except for "Eli, Eli, lama sabacthani"... "Golgotha"... "Har-Meggedon"... and minute things like these!).
Dear ones, the original writings of the Greek Septuagint do not exist. We only have copies... of copies... of copies. And it was the work of the copyists... the "scribes"... that was condemned... BY Christ... when he also condemned the works... of the Pharisees.
BUT... I truly do not get why you are arguing over this - . Why do you not just simply ASK???????????????????????? So that you will KNOW whether what I am sharing on this matter is true... or NOT. But you won't even ask. Where is your faith... while you are condemning ME... in HIS voice? You argue and debate and defend... the Bible. And what is written in... the Bible. Where... I simply HAVE to ask... is your defense of HIM... and what HE says????
You "condemn" me for telling you... TRUTHFULLY... what I have heard. You defend YOUR "blind" faith... faith in the pages of a book that you state was written by God... compiled by God... sanctioned by God... all of which is a lie... while condemning others (for example, the WTBTS) for THEIR faith... and doing the exact same thing! How can that BE??
And I am not yelling... not at all... but simply trying to EMPHASIZE, so that perhaps... by means of MY... exuberance... MY excitement... you might just TRY to hear HIM... so as to get the SENSE of these things! Or failing that... at least THINK.
Come on, dear ones: you CAN do this... IF you truly ARE the BODY OF CHRIST. If ANYONE can do it... YOU can. If you truly are who you say you are. Just STOP leaning upon your OWN understanding... and FOLLOW THE LAMB.
I bid you all peace. Truly.
YOUR servant... as I am servant to all those of the Household of God, Israel, and those who go with...
