People in Latin America choose the name "Jesus" because they are HOMORING The Master. This is not defining the Name of Jesus.

Really?

That would give one pause for wonder, if that were the case, of exactly how honor is bestowed upon the The Ineffable, The Perfect, by affording to fallen creatures its own name, which is apparently sacred.

Look, we're getting waaaaay off-base here, and this is likely a more appropriate topic for another thread. Consider, for a moment, why one doesn't see little Yahweh's or Jehovah's running around.

Are you saying that the people of Latin America choose the name of "Jesus" in order to defile it? That is your only other choice, you know.

Are you anti-Hispanic? Do you not realize there is a long tradition of using this name, as well as Maria (Mary) to honor both the son and the Immaculate Conception? Where in the world do you get the idea that people from a devoutly Catholic country would dishonor the Name of the Saviour?
