Evangelion wrote: With regard to the name "Jesus" - yes, it is true that the original Hebrew name did not begin with the letter "J", since Hebrew has no such letter. Jesus' real name was probably "Yashua", "Yeshua", "Yehoshua", "Yahoshua", or something similar. However, the name "Yeshu", while look...

[url=ttp://www.wvss.com/forumc/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=426] Evangelion [/url], A fellow forum member, had this to say about the origin of the the english word "God": The English word "God" is actually derived from a pre-German word, which is not "Gott" but something else entirely. Here's what...

Troy, is this stuff you believe or are you just putting it up for discussion, or...what? I have some friends that I used to always hang out with like everyday in my teenage years, who are now all influenced by this type of stuff. In fact, the four of them no longer want anything to do with Christia...

Honestly Michelle, I view this in the same manner as I do towards the Oneness Pentecostal insistence that we must be baptised with the words "In Jesus Name" as we are being immersed, or else our baptism is invalid and our salvation remains incomplete. For example, Boyd writes: The God presupposed in...

"Yeshua" Or "Yahusha"
"Yeshua" Or "Yahusha"? "Joshua" isn't quite right; and "Yeshua" is still pretty far off, because Gabriel's explanation of the Name at Luke 1:21 describes the function (salvation) along with Who is providing that salvation.

The "English" Name: Jesus
The "English" name, Jesus The Norman invasion of 1066 introduced the letter "j" to England but the sound of the letter did not exist in the Old English language until the early 1200's.

The word "GOD," derived from a pagan deity?
I have a couple friends that I don't fellowship with much at all, who used to consider themselves "Christians," but now claim they aren't, and that Christianity is full of pagan practices and affiliations. For example, they feel that to address or refer to our Creator as "God," is to be irreverant a...

The Trinity and Penal Substitution
I believe you are on point with your alternatives, Paidion. I know that you do not adhere to the doctrine of the Trinity. However, as far as I know, most, though not all Trinitarians believe in the substitionary [penal] atonement. Yet the doctrine of substitutionary [penal] atonement creates a probl...
