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.

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.

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?

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.

But I already DID, dear roamer_1. Imagine this scenario...Jesus preaches and teaches for three years to a populace that more than likely spoke Aramaic. He also taught in Hebrew to certain people as well as Greeks. Now, some years later, the Holy Spirit leads and inspires the writers of the sacred Scriptures to write down what Jesus said and did. In what language would they have done that? The one that most all the people spoke throughout the region of His influence - GREEK. That very well explains why some Hebrew "puns" were there. It also explains why certain words were "translated" right there in the passages. Go ahead and deny it all day long if you want it won't change the facts.
