The "largely crap" is the ridiculous notion that the name of Jesus - transliterated meaning, "Jehovah saves" - is not good enough to believe on and gain eternal life. When someone receives what Jesus did for them - died to pay for all sin and gift eternal life - is God somehow not impressed because they didn't say His name right? Will He hold back salvation to the one who pronounces His name incorrectly or is it more about believing in WHO He is and what He did? When you pray, do you address your prayers to "Father" or "Heavenly Father", like Jesus did? Does God not hear your prayers if you don't use His personal name?

The writers of the NT wrote in Greek. It is undeniable. That Jesus taught the people in Aramaic, isn't denied, but when it came time to enscripturate His truth, they wrote it IN Greek by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

And just what do Deaf people do?

They can't hear and there's no way to pronounce God's name correctly.

They have sign names for Him. Can't pronounce those, you know.....

No, the crap was all that spew about sacred name schtick. I know a lot of sacred name folks, and *none* of them believe that junk. Most are where I am.

What has any of that to do with what I said?

When you pray, do you address your prayers to "Father" or "Heavenly Father", like Jesus did?

Depends... sometimes... but usually I call his name.

Does God not hear your prayers if you don't use His personal name?

Again, where is that in what I said?

The writers of the NT wrote in Greek. It is undeniable.

Sure it is. Until you can 'splain to me how those meaningful little Hebrew puns got in there, I will deny it all day long, despite your declarations. It isn't the strength of the proofs that prove a thing - but rather, the lack of errata.
