Why do people run when they hear the name Jesus ???

Why? because He is the Truth and the truth is challenging to things of the darkness of the human mind, they fear that which they do not comprehend, and the light that shines in the darkness of sin and denial.\nyou will see this in the negative votes this answer gets.

They get their name from the day of "Pentecost". On that day the Holy Spirit descended on the church and people spoke in tongues. So, this group emphasizes, or rather, overemphasized speaking in tongues. \n\nThe worst of them believe that unless you speak in tongues you're not saved. Notice I say, the worst of them. They don't all believe the exact same thing. There are Trinitarian Pentecostals and Oneness Pentecostals (these deny the Trinity). \n\nIt's a group that's very emotional. Their services can become very chaotic with people running around the church and a lot of unrecognizable screaming (speaking in tongues they would say). I speak from experience, I've seen it. It's not misinformation, but look it up and you'll discover for yourself.

Rebuke the spirits that are coming against you in the name of JESUS CHRIST.  We are told that we have been given power to do such, and many times the only reason we are tormented is because we don't stand on what the WORD says.\nWe are not to rejoice in that power, but to rejoice that our names are written in heaven.\n\nyou are in my prayers, but also know that you have authority in the name of JESUS CHRIST.

We are saying that the story of Jesus was probably embellished alot down the line. Perhaps he did not claim to be the son of god, maybe he was just a prophet or political activist who gained people's admiration - and ended up being persecuted by the politicians of the time for spreading his political message.

i see you are getting alot of diferent answeres here. its important that you pray in jesus' name, because the bible says "whatever you ask in jesus' name you will recive if you serve him and believe". but honestly i believe God will hear you either way and as you grow your view of prayer will become less rule orientated and more about a relationship with God.

I hear ya.\nIt's like going to a gay bar and complaining that there are so many gay people there.\n\nHow about this one.\n"I'm not religious or anything, but could someone explain to me who Jesus is?"\n\nWell, if you are not religious or anything, why do you care about who Jesus is?\n\nWhy do people go to areas where they KNOW people are a certain way just to antagonize them.\n\nHmmmmmm..... cause that's just the way they are.

It does not bother me in the slightest.  How can such tyranny have come from a true Christian?  That's not Love, that's not how Jesus would ever want people to act in His precious name.\n\nRather, those who participated in such heinous deeds were users of the faith for their own political agenda's and had no real love for Christ.  They have nothing to do with me.

This is more of a cultural thing.\n\nIn English we name boys "Joshua", which comes from the Hebrew version of the name (closer to what Jesus' family and friends actually called him!)   In Spanish cultures, they use "Jesus" (pronounced differently from English, of course) and I have no problem with that...  though I will admit the first few times I wrote something official to my Filipino brother-in-law who bears this name (though he is usually called by an unrelated nickname), it was an adjustment.\n\nI am glad you don't suggest there is some Scriptural barrier to the practice -- I've heard folks make pronouncements about this, with no real foundation.\n\nAs for "living up the being named after the son of God" -- well does not EVERY "Christian" bear his name?! and the name of his Father!!  We even formally mark it in baptism in which the NAME of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is 'put on us' as now "sons and daughters of the living God" by our connection to Jesus.  \n\n(The connetion between baptism and NAMING as sons/children is clear in the words of the Father at Jesus' own baptism, echoed in his resurrection, in the declaration "You are my beloved Son in whom I delight!"  In OUR baptism it is as if, as we are symbolically united to Jesus his Son, he declare over US "You are my sons and daughters in whom I delight!")\n\nIf some boy's specifically having the legal name "Jesus" helps him remember what we ALL ought to remember about who (and whose!) we are, that might be a very GOOD thing!

The name above every other name is Jesus Christ.Is this what you are referring to?What do you mean "who wrote it?"

Aw, they do it because they think it winds us up. I know it doesn't really, but they get taught that in Bible class as a way of making it look like Christianity keeps you cool. I say, listen to Pat Robertson, Ian Paisley or Rush Limbaugh for five minutes and tell yourself that Christians aren't popping a vein out of their necks with suppressed rage.

There are many people like that in the world today. And I don't see any larger following they would have. So why should Jesus be any different?

Once again Christians display a woeful ignorance of the history of their own faith.\n\n"X" has been an acceptable and legitimate abbreviation for "Christ" for as long as Christianity has existed.  It is the Greek symbol for the first letter of Christ's name.  Yes SOME people use it as a sign of disrespect, but most use it as short hand, and there is nothing insulting, disrepectful, or impious about doing so.\n\nAs far as G-d, there are those who believe it is sacriligeous to write God's name, and that is their solution.\n\nIt's not too "hard" to write God or Christ, but it is some people's CHOICE to, and they are entitled to that choice without being constantly criticized and slandered by people too ignorant to understand why.

Hoooo, here we go again.\n\nFirst you ask a question based on something that may not be true - that people hate Jesus.  Then you assert that it's "without a reason".  and then you supply your own reasons in the form of a question.\n\nSo.  Where do you get your information that "people" hate Jesus?  Which people?  How many people? Name names.\n\nSecond, if they DO hate Jesus, why do you assume that they don't have a reason?\n\nAnd last, if you assert that they don't have a reason, why do you supply reasons?

Yep, more than likely.  Can you imagine people embracing a man who claims to be Jesus, can perform on the spot miracles , rose from the dead, etc?  Not many people would take a word of it seriously and would chalk it off to the ravings of a lunatic.\n\nFor all we know Jesus HAS been alive, walking our streets and being ridiculed.  People are so firm in their belief but refuse to entertain the possibility that a man who supposedly can do such miraculous deeds is unable to be alive today.  Those same people look to their priest or pastor and have no problem believing that god spoke to them in order to pass along his message(s).  Who made the rule that god can't speak to just regular people?\n\nAs for you saying that god spoke to you, if that is your truth, then that's the truth!  You just have to be careful in who you decide to tell.

I'll try to keep it short.\nJesus was born in Bethlehem.  Joseph and Mary went to register their names under the order of the Romans, as it was predicted in the Bible that Jesus will be born in Bethlehem.  Shortly after his birth, they had to run to Egypt to protect Jesus's life, for it was ordered that every first born boy to be killed, that included Jesus.  A few years later, they went back, and they lived in the city Nazareth, hence the name Jesus of Nazareth. \nNo contradictions.  They moved to Egypt not to Nazareth to protect his life.  If they didn't do that, you and I would have had nothing to be chatting about, at least in the religion section.  Think about it.  \n\nDon't worry about it, our religion stood the worst.  Christians were feed to the lions for believing in Christ,  at a certain time it was forbidden to be even a Christian, and now, many wants to show the lies that is supposedly in the Bible.  Go ahead, do your best, or your worse!  maybe we both can end up learning from each others.  You don't have to be a Christian, and I don't have to stop being one, but we at the very least at will end up respecting each others.\n\nMap 37.

Hebrew 12:1-3\nTherefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
