I meant to say I do get different stories.

I cant ask him, he left for a different church and I dont know where

Answer 1

Ask the pastor next time you see them.

Answer 2

Dear Cindy,

i think your Pastor was just saying that they are Biblical names and if your son has the character of both Caleb and Nathaniel he will live a very wonderful life that is a blessing to others.

Caleb (along with Joshua) were the only ones who spied out the promised-Land and had faith that God would fulfill His promises. (See Numbers C.13)

Nathaniel too is commended for his faith (see John 21 and John 1:34).

It doesn't mean that your son will never encounter a trial or difficulty in life-- no one is exempt from that.

Hope that helps. Kindly,

Nickster

Answer 3

Maybe because Caleb (a faithful Israelite that didn't go with the crowd) is from the Hebrew Scriptures and Nathaniel (a truly honey disciple of Jesus) was from the Greek Scriptures.

Answer 4

Caleb (from the KJV) of the Bible:

The son of Jephunneh (Numbers 13:6 & 32:12; Joshua 14:6 &14). He was one of those whom Moses sent to search the land in the second year after the Exodus. He was one of the family chiefs of the tribe of Judah. He and Joshua the son of Nun were the only two of the whole number who encouraged the people to go up and possess the land, and they alone were spared when a plague broke out in which the other ten spies perished (Numbers 13 & 14). All the people that had been numbered, from twenty years old and upward, perished in the wilderness except these two. The last notice we have of Caleb is when (being then eighty-five years of age) he came to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, after the people had gained possession of the land, and reminded him of the promise Moses had made to him, by virtue of which he claimed a certain portion of the land of Kirjath-arba as his inheritance.

Caleb gave his name apparently to a part of the south country (1Samuel 30:14) of Judah, the district between Hebron and Carmel, which had been assigned to him. When he gave up the city of Hebron to the priests as a city of refuge, he retained possession of the surrounding country (Joshua 21:11&12; 1Samuel 25:3).

Nathanael: (spelled with an "ae" in The Holy Bible instead of an "ie")

given or gift of God, one of our Lord's disciples, "of Cana in Galilee" (John 21:2). He was "an Israelite indeed, in whom was no guile" (John 1:45-49). His name occurs only in the Gospel of John, who in his list of the disciples never mentions Bartholomew, with whom he has consequently been identified. He was one of those to whom the Lord showed himself alive after his resurrection, at the Sea of Tiberias.

All the above scriptural references will explain what your preacher was referring to.

Answer 5

Their were many leaders,joshua and caleb led the peple into the promise land,they succeeded moses and aaron,sweetie just because you named him caleb and nathaniel does not aleveate your son from his own choices or trials and tribulations,do your best to train him in the way he should go ask the lord to show you how to raise your son his way will be better than our way

Answer 6

AAron, Moses, Joshua and Caleb went too spy in the promised land and gave an honest answer to the questions asked him when he returned so Joshua granted him entry to the promised land. His son was Hur.
He meant "You're son's going to the promise Land!"

Answer 7

CALEB 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me; none except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed The Lord.

When Jesus saw Nathaniel approaching He said, "Here is a true Israelite, one who is without deceit."

Answer 8

You should go back to the church and ask the Pastor why he said that and what did he mean

Answer 9

The boy's name Caleb \c(a)-leb\ is pronounced KAY-leb. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "dog". Biblical: Caleb, a companion of Moses and Joshua, was noted for his astute powers of observation and fearlessness in the face of overwhelming odds; his devotion to God is symbolized by the "dog" in some traditions. The name was popular among the Puritans, and was introduced by them to America. Author Caleb Carr.
