Iésous - Definition: Jesus; the Greek form of Joshua; Jesus, son of Eliezer; Jesus, surnamed Justus.
Stop spreading that Michael Rood filth.
Iésous is the Greek translation of the curse.
Interestingly, even though the Greek uses it for both Yeshua and Joshua of the old testament, the English translators managed to correct the insult for Joshua.
I disagree. I think there IS observable evidence that many FRoman Catholics do seem to hate Protestants, Protestantism and even those who do not identify as Protestant but who are not-Catholic Christians. There are a few who regularly say untrue, malicious, and downright despicable things about Protestantism and not Catholic Christians, going so far as to judge their eternal salvation. It's astounding to me that some people seem to be blinded to this reality.
I also believe the Religion Moderator is entirely fair and even handed and does a good job of responding to complaints. It's unreasonable to expect him/her to comb through every Religion Forum thread looking for violations. Elevating the discourse here needs ALL of us to accomplish that on our own and not having to have the Moderator babysit us.
Php 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (6) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (7) But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: (8) And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.If we know God does not desire us to be communicating with the dead, and we do, we can hardly emulate the obedience of Jesus by disregarding the express will of the Father.
Sweet!

I got a hearty laugh from your cartoon. Very funny. Its depiction of Christianity, however, after my laughter subsided, I had second thought about.
While not all Muslims are Mullahs, I rather doubt Muslims would have a problem with the way the cartoon depicted them. Likewise, Jews and the Rabbi.
As this thread will attest, having the Papacy represent Christianity, “the only true church” as they like to call themselves, is gross inaccuracy to Protestants.
Sadly, Judaism and Islam do think of Christianity as the cartoon depicts, pompous paganized Popery. The general unbelieving public too, perhaps, most of whom haven’t a clue as to what true Christianity is.
Not all is inaccurate in the cartoon I note: Catholics frequenting bars is quite common. Catholic Ireland, for instance, is known for it, having long been equated to hard drinking Catholics and their pubs.
I know, its just a cartoon, and not to be taken as seriously as I have. Anything for a laugh, you know.
>>Well, Moses did come down, so there is precedence, so let’s just say that it isn’t a cornerstone of my faith.<<
And any attempt at communicating with them was quickly stopped and focus was directed at Christ.
The deciples wanted to build shrines and “venerate” them but God rebuked them and told them to turn to Jesus.
Jesus alone is sufficient for salvation. Coredemtrixes are not only unnecessary, they’re also an insult to our Savior and Creator.
They were ready to stone Jesus because he “forgave sins” when “only God may forgive sins.” What they said was true; however, they failed to recognize Jesus as God.
Concerning the Sabbath, Jesus asked “is it right to do good or evil.”
Jesus is the Fulfillment of the Law. That doesn't give us a pass to commit detestable practices.
I pray there are Catholics who read these threads that come to that truth through God's grace and leave that apostate organization.
Sorry, no!
Iesous is phonetically Yay-soos, which has no relation to Yeshua nor Yehoshua.
If you were paying attention, you are already seeing that Yshu and Yay-soo are exactly the same. The s is usually added for Greek pronunciations
The Greek text uses the curse, not his name.
Jesus could do so because he is God incarnate. The disciples weren't allowed to because the were not God incarnate.
When you are God incarnate you can do whatever you want. Until then you should love, serve and obey the Lord.
There are always those kook cults. One says it has to be yah the other says yah is the Egyption moon god. I pray the Holy Spirit takes them all out of their casting doubts.
She gave birth to the Christ at considerable risk of being divorced and stoned to death.
All without the benefit of witnessing a single miracle or sermon.
Other than the Angel Gabriel’s appearance. I don’t know about you but I’d call that miraculous!
....”Jesus is the Fulfillment of the Law. That doesn’t give us a pass to commit detestable practices”.....
When you become a Christian you change within and how you view sin. It’s never the same after one becomes the Lord’s because you see through His eyes.
Therefore you don’t do what you might have before because you know right away if you’re going the wrong direction. Conviction comes swiftly!
You are a Johnny come lately on the issue of the name of our savior. As an English speaker, I doubt you know Greek better than the ECF, the “Early Church Fathers” who lived and wrote around 1800 years ago.
They knew Greek well, they lived much closer to the events of the New Testament than you - and not a one of them saw the name Iesous as a curse.
They wrote “Iesous” in hundreds of places. You hold to a modern theory far removed from the truth.
“It is ok to express hatred towards SatanISM and Satanists both because no Freeper is Satanist.”
I hope if some smart aleck shows up declaring himself to be a freeper and a Satanist the Viking kitties will shred him tooth and claw?!
I admit to absolute intolerance to the idea of Freeper Satanists! I understand letting the Freeper atheists hang out. It is better to let such rave on that all should know them mad!
“and had shown a willingness to bend the law on the Sabbath”
He didn’t bend the law of the Sabbath, he correctly taught how the Sabbath should be treated and practiced as God had always meant it should be. He is the Lord of the Sabbath, the living word of God. There was no bending of any law, there is no inconsistency in him.
The Sabbath was for rest and relaxation...a time for reflection and a time for joy. The Sabbath was never meant to be a weekly funeral dirge!
