Deity of Christ Debate, Pt. 2
Thanks to Jeff Downs for announcing that the 2nd part of the Jame White and Michael Brown team up to defend the Deity of Christ and the Trinity. A great video!
Couldn't get the video to load, and I think it would be interesting given both side presuppose the existance of god, but my initial thought is that in the same way I would think someone a pretentious @$$ if they only refered to Julius Caesar in print as "Iulius Caesar", I think folks that insist on referring to Jesus as Yeshua are pretentious @$$es.
"Jesus" is the English transliteration of the Greek transliteration of "Yeshua". Anyone who thinks that the name of Jesus has the same relation to "Yeshua" has the relation as "Julius Caesar" has to "Iulius Ceasar" is simply stupid much worse than pretentious.
Ryan think you are knowledgeable because you know that there are multiple ways of rendering Jesus' name in English because of the nature of Hebrew? Good. But that doesn't mean you know Him. If you did you would not have left Him.

ReplyDeleteI'm aware of what Yeshua is. Or should it be Yehoshua? Hard to say for sure...
