becuase the most bible were re-written by some people who called themselves scholars and  thought it is too sacred and that they strictly followed the commandment not to take his name in vain so they reverted to titles such as lord, god and as such.\n\nbut the truth is, are we going to desecrate god's name if we use? even jesus his son, in his model prayer urged us to sanctify his name, so then how can we sanctify it if we are too afraid to use it?\n\nits not becuase you are not one of the Jehovah's Witnesses taht would prohibit you to use his name\n\nanother reason to use his name specially if youre praying, is that it would identify WHICH god you are talking to!! hello!! are you not aware that even satan was called god? god of evil for that matter, that even in rome... a lot of god and goddeses exist!!

A couple of reasons:\n\nFirst, Jesus is the Savior of all mankind, so people tend to depict Jesus as one of their own, whatever race. It makes Him easier to relate to, perhaps.\n\nSecond, because the Bible says that Jesus was a descendant of King David who, as a boy was described this way:\n\n"He was ruddy , with a fine appearance and handsome features" (1 Samuel 16:12).\n\n"Ruddy" indicates a rosy appearance. How many races of people have that? As well, in Genesis 25:25 it is recorded that when the twins, Jacob (ie, Israel) and Esau, were born, Esau was covered with red hair. Same question. \n\nNow Jesus was way down the family line, and his lineage mentions people from other groups marrying into the tree, so Jesus could have been very white to rather brown. At the time though, he didn't have any appearance that set him apart from the appearance of his fellow Jews of the time.

Does the Bible ever mention any offspring of Jesus'?  You'd think that if the writers of the Bible were going to mention such detail as the lineage of all of the major kings, they'd mention something that important.  My guess would be no, he didn't have kids, and no, he wasn't gay, and no, he didn't marry Mary Magdalene, and no to all the other ridiculous rumors people make up because they just don't want to believe the truth.  Funny how people will believe a lie any day over the truth.

Most people avoid silly names because it would make the kids the center of attention.  Celebrities always want to be the center of attention.\n\nThat may explain why so many kids of celebrities need therapists.

No,I'm fine with using Jesus' name in public.....But I have found that when I say Jesus'name,other people get very uncomfortable.......I always wondered why,I think it's because Jesus'name invokes feelings of not living right and being on the wrong path away from GOD in people.\n\nThis just proves to me that Jesus is very real,and very much Alive!

Why do many Bible translations not use the personal name of God or use it only a few times?\n\nThe preface of the Revised Standard Version explains: “For two reasons the Committee has returned to the more familiar usage of the King James Version: (1) the word ‘Jehovah’ does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew; and (2) the use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom he had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church.” (Thus their own view of what is appropriate has been relied on as the basis for removing from the Holy Bible the personal name of its Divine Author, whose name appears in the original Hebrew more often than any other name or any title. They admittedly follow the example of the adherents of Judaism, of whom Jesus said: “You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition.”—Matt. 15:6.)\n\nTranslators who have felt obligated to include the personal name of God at least once or perhaps a few times in the main text, though not doing so every time it appears in Hebrew, have evidently followed the example of William Tyndale, who included the divine name in his translation of the Pentateuch published in 1530, thus breaking with the practice of leaving the name out altogether.\n\nWas the name Jehovah used by the inspired writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures?\n\nJerome, in the fourth century, wrote: “Matthew, who is also Levi, and who from a publican came to be an apostle, first of all composed a Gospel of Christ in Judaea in the Hebrew language and characters for the benefit of those of the circumcision who had believed.” (De viris inlustribus, chap. III) This Gospel includes 11 direct quotations of portions of the Hebrew Scriptures where the Tetragrammaton is found. There is no reason to believe that Matthew did not quote the passages as they were written in the Hebrew text from which he quoted.\n\nOther inspired writers who contributed to the contents of the Christian Greek Scriptures quoted hundreds of passages from the Septuagint, a translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek. Many of these passages included the Hebrew Tetragrammaton right in the Greek text of early copies of the Septuagint. In harmony with Jesus’ own attitude regarding his Father’s name, Jesus’ disciples would have retained that name in those quotations.—Compare John 17:6, 26.\n\nIn Journal of Biblical Literature, George Howard of the University of Georgia wrote: “We know for a fact that Greek-speaking Jews continued to write ???? within their Greek Scriptures. Moreover, it is most unlikely that early conservative Greek-speaking Jewish Christians varied from this practice. Although in secondary references to God they probably used the words [God] and [Lord], it would have been extremely unusual for them to have dismissed the Tetragram from the biblical text itself. . . . Since the Tetragram was still written in the copies of the Greek Bible which made up the Scriptures of the early church, it is reasonable to believe that the N[ew] T[estament] writers, when quoting from Scripture, preserved the Tetragram within the biblical text. . . . But when it was removed from the Greek O[ld] T[estament], it was also removed from the quotations of the O[ld] T[estament] in the N[ew] T[estament]. Thus somewhere around the beginning of the second century the use of surrogates [substitutes] must have crowded out the Tetragram in both Testaments.”—Vol. 96, No. 1, March 1977, pp. 76, 77.\n\nWhich form of the divine name is correct—Jehovah or Yahweh?\n\nNo human today can be certain how it was originally pronounced in Hebrew. Why not? Biblical Hebrew was originally written with only consonants, no vowels. When the language was in everyday use, readers easily provided the proper vowels. In time, however, the Jews came to have the super

The Scriptures give no reason why Mary should have remained a virgin.So did Jesus have any half brothers and half sisters?\nThat Mary had other children besides Jesus is clear from the questions asked by Jesus' townfolk who where well acquainted with his family:"Where did he get all this?What kind of wisdom is he endowed with?....Is this not the carpenter,the son of Mary,a brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon?Are not his sisters our neighbours here?"-Mark6:2,3,NA.\nThat Jesus had natural (half)brothers is also indicated by the fact that on one occasion he was told that'your mother and your brothers are standing out there and they wish to speak to you'We further read that "not even his brothers had confidence in him"-Matt.12:47;John 7:5,NA

Jesus is a Roman name.  Jesus never had a known Hebrew name, which seems very strange for a person that was supposed to be Jewish and G-d!\n\nSome people try and take his name and create a Jewish name for him, like Yeshua, but this is innacurate and a fraud.  You can't work backwards!

They just want to be unique and get attention. I know what you mean, it bugs me how they could name their kids such weird names!!! I feel sorry for the kids when they grow up.

Because they are sociopaths. It probably had to do with the way they were raised. In mice a gene has been isolated among a strian of male mice who rape and kill members of their own colony. There is still lots to be learned about why people do horrible things and the answer has nothing to do with "the holy spirit". It will come out eventually.

Most last names were derived from what the person did for a lving.  Since Jesus was a  Shepherd perhaps that was  his name.  His father Joseph was a Carpenter so that also could have been his name

You might want to stay away from hard to pronounce/spell names. Being named after a city or state isn't all that nice either. Remember that this child will have this name for the rest of her life.\nKids are mean, we all know this so why give them something to pick on right away? \nPeople nowadays want to give their child that unique name but sometimes I don't think the parents are really thinking about how names affect that person as he/she becomes older.\nThink about your child's place in this world before you saddle her with something unusual.\n\nResearch shows that children with unordinary names have more trouble adjusting at school. They are more likely to feel like the odd one out and are a possible target for bullies. An unusual name also turns out to have a negative effect on someone’s popularity, grades, mental health, and stress level at work.

They think that they need a unique name to show how special they and their offspring are. You can always tell how self obsessed a parent is by what they name their kid.They really need to think of the child's feelings.Every adult I know who has a "creative" name goes by their middle name or a nickname. Different/creative is as different/creative does. We remember Miles Davis for his musical talent, not because his name was Miles. How sad if the only interesting thing about someone is their name. They need to think that this cute baby is going to be 80 someday, which would make Gwyneth Paltrows daughter a Grannie apple someday! HA!\n\nThe one I dislike the most is "Brooklyn" That is a borough of NYC, Not a suitable name for a child! Beckham named his kid that. I guess it was a toss up between that and Bronx
