Then why not use the name "Jesus" like a normal person? Do you think that Jesus really cares that you refer to him as Yazoo, or whatever you call him? He is the Lord of the universe. He is not vain.
>>>I'm trying to understand why some "seem" to feel a need that they are no longer sinners.<<<
I've met a few like that. I personally do not believe we can understand, being mere mortals.
>>>It's pretty obvious that we all "miss the mark" of being righteousness in the example that has been set, and that "we all" need to "work" on that problem - no?<<<
That is what the scripture says. Thankfully, Jesus gives us a way out, in that he is the propitiation for our sins (1 John 2:2.)

I guess that's because I'm not "a normal person" Philip. :-)
I'm doing my best to follow the teachings of Yeshua (though I admit that I fail miserably), whereas most in this world, seem to want to do the opposite.
About the only good thing I can honestly say about myself is that I keep trying.
>> “Then why not use the name “Jesus” like a normal person?” <<
Because “Jesus” is not his name, and respect requires using his name.
