Sacred Names & Philosophy - Fred R. Coulter—July 15, 2023
Are we required to use sacred names today? ‘They’ say that if you don’t use sacred names you cannot have contact with God, and you cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Is that true?
‘They’ go so far as saying in the New Testament that the name of Jesus comes from the name Zeus! That’s shows that they know nothing about Greek when they say that.
Then another part of it is, that the Greek has no ‘J’ like in English. Let me give you the Greek pronunciation of Jesus’ name—‘ee ay sooce.’ How close is that to ‘J’? almost identical! ‘ay’/J!
Let’s look at something that is important. If God wanted Hebrew names in the New Testament, wouldn’t He have inspired it to be there? What those sacred namers are doing is saying that they know more than God:
God, You forgot to put it there, You used the wrong language!
Who made all the languages? God did! Tower of Babel, confused their languages. Then, could you say—since God is Holy and sacred, and since He made all the languages--—the name of God in any language is Holy? Would that be true?
Now, let’s look at this on the first Pentecost, Act 2, the first Pentecost for the Church, where the Church began right at the temple where all of the liturgy was done in Hebrew and Greek—both! That what the common language in the whole area of the Eastern Mediterranean for 300 years!
On that Day of Pentecost, there were Jews from every country around. Imagine how many were there! Imagine how many got the word coming back to their synagogues from different ones who went up to Jerusalem and came back and
• told them about Jesus
• told them about all the healing
‘I was there when the widow woman’s son was raised from the dead when they were carrying him out to bury him.’
Really? Yes, there are miracles going on in Jerusalem!
