Most Bible believers identify with a Messiah who was never known or called by the name they use. The question becomes, does His Name really matter and will it hinder salvation to call on a substitute name for the One who died for our sins?

Regarding question A above…The Savior said that He would come in His Father’s Name.
In John 5.43 In the Greek Scriptures it does not say that he WOULD come but he had come in His Fathers name. The word ἐλήλυθα means come.
The whole verse in Greek…. Ιω. 5,43 ἐγὼ ἐλήλυθα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ οὐ λαμβάνετέ με· ἐὰν ἄλλος ἔλθῃ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἰδίῳ, ἐκεῖνον λήψεσθε.

And that is just what we find in Matthew 1:21, where the angel told Joseph that his son’s Name would be based on… Read more »

With Gratitude. THERE IS LOT OF DEPTH AND MEANING TO THE NAME OF JESUS actually YAHSHUA. The name of Jesus as we simply and plainly know is from the Western world with their Culture, Colour and Conditioning added to it. Jesus was not from the Western part of our Globe. Jesus was an Easterner or more accurately from the tumultuous and turmoil filled Middle East, called today as… Read more »
Attempted the Lesson no 2. Always understood Emmanuel as, “God with us”. Giving Trinitarians a wrong supporting argument. Using the Hebrew word for God that is Elohim changes the meaning and connection so clearly. Now Emmanuel means Elohim is with us in Yashua’s work on Earth. Thanks.
