Why do Christians use the name "Jesus" when there is NO scriptural origin for this made up name ?

Question

Are you telling me they dont even know the name of GOD when they are supposed to be praying in his name ?

.

Answer 1

Jesus is not God's name.
Jesus is the transliteration (go ahead, look it up, it is a big word), of the name from (Koine) Greek, Iesous.
God's name is Jehovah, from the Hebrew/Chaldee- Yehovah.
My really rough estimat is that the name Jesus (Iesous) is written more than 900 times in the NT.

I would be much more concerned that the name "Allah" is never mentioned in the Bible that even the Quran claims is trustworthy.

Answer 2

Here are just a few references for you. It should help you clear this up.

Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

John 6: 1, 3, 5, 10-11, 14-15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, 29, 32, 35, 42-43, 53, 61, 64, 67, 70.

John 11: 4-5, 9, 13-14, 17, 20-21, 23, 25, 30, 32-33, 35, 38-41, 44-46, 51, 54, 56.

Matt. 26: 1, 4, 6, 10, 17, 19, 26, 31, 34, 36, 49-52, 55, 57, 59, 63-64, 69, 71, 75.

John 18: 1-2, 4-5, 7-8, 11-12, 15, 19-20, 22-23, 28, 32-34, 36-37.

John 19: 1, 5, 9, 11, 13, 16, 18-20, 23, 25-26, 28, 30, 33, 38-40, 42.

I can go on if you would like. But there are 331 total that say the name "Jesus". So feel free to look them all up!!!

Answer 3

You evidently have never read the Word of God; for the name Jesus is all through the New Testament. I do not know where you get the idea that the name "Jesus" is just made up. He is truly the Son of God. I know very well the name of the God to whom I pray. His name is Jehovah, his Son's name is Jesus, and there is also the Holy Spirit of God. But I know that you are just trying to be funny; but you are not really being funny at all. You are just being, or acting like a real idiot. Why don't you have the nerve to sincerely say to God Himself, some of your smart remarks? Why don't you dare tell God, that there is no such person as Jesus? Or are you afraid of what might happen to you? It is clowns like you that make spreading the gospel so difficult. But your day is coming; when you will stand before God, just like every one else.

Answer 4

Sure, I know that the correct name for God is YHWH, and that His Son's name is Yeshua or Yehoshua. However, Jesus is just a clearly anglicized version of the name. It's like Jose is the Spanish diminutive for the name Joe, which also comes from the name Yoshua.

I really honestly believe that God would rather have us know WHO He is rather than worrying about whether or not we get His name quite right. Personally, I DO prefer to call God YHWH, and Jesus Yeshua, but it comes against 40 years of hearing His name in English, and I'm not sure I'll ever overcome it 100% personally!

Answer 5

God bless you,

What texts do you consider scriptural? The New Testemant references Jesus many times. I think you must have a deeper point or you are referencing something other than the Christian Bible.

In any event, I hope you find an answer to your question and know that I will pray for you and hope that you find the insight you seek.

Answer 7

well my Bible tells me to all things in the name of Jesus.

Jesus was the name given on earth. like we all have names. and for the record Jesus was God manifested in the flesh. unless you dont believe the Bible

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Answer 9

What bible are you reading from. The bible that I read say we must pray unto God in the name of Jesus. So how is there no scripture when all over the bible it talks about our holy savior.
