>> “Then why not use the name “Jesus” like a normal person?” <<
Because “Jesus” is not his name, and respect requires using his name.
.
my name in spanish is tomas, in english it’s thomas.
if i go to Spain, i am called Tomas, should i look at that as disrespect and demand they refer to me as thomas? or should i realize the people are going to call me by my name in THEIR LANGUAGE?
He seems to think his name is Jesus. People have called on the name of Jesus throughout the centuries, and Christianity has spread. One would think that if they were using a disrespectful name, Jesus would not have listened to their prayers, and would have put a stop to what they were doing?
Besides, Jesus did not say, "If you love me call me Yazoo." He said, if you love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15.)
