The name Jesus is not even 500 years old so how could that be the name. The bible says that only one name under heaven must men be saved and it aint Jesus. 1611 King James bible Jesus is not found. The name was Iesous and we know that wasnt Christ name because Christ wasnt greek and Iesous is a grrk name. He had a hebrew name and there was no J in the hebrew alaphabet, so rid yourself of the pagan name Jesus. Satan deceives the world with this one lie. And it started with the fake jews who says that YHWH is to sacred to pronounce so they change the Y to a J and the W to a V JHVH Jahovah which was not the most highs name. But you will have people saying it doest matter. Does it matter? If it is the truth it matters

So the name was Iesus because the letter "J" wasn't part of the alphabet?

RESPONSE:

Since Joel is from the Old Testament and claims of a second divine person would be anathema, doesn’t “the Lord” refer to God the Father?

I see calling on the name of the Lord as a daily thing, not a one time thing, i also see it as an acknowledging thing too, as in acknowledging him in all our ways , as in acknowledging that he's with us,for myself personally, it's where i draw my strength from in life, and salvation is never far away then.

I think it means that when accept Christ as your saviour you are saved. There is no need for another sacrifice, or being saved a 2nd time after you slip. Repent, and you will be forgiven.

The same reason Obama is called the President of all Americans, even those who did not vote for him, and reject his polices.

Obama, the president. Jesus, the Saviour. It's a title.

Exactly. In a very real sense, Obama as President represents all Americans as our Federal head, whether all voted for him or not. This is the argument that Paul sets forth too in Romans Chapter 5. Let's think this through for a moment:

Our Federal head (or representative) in the garden was Adam, whether we wanted him to be or not, similar to Obama. When Obama looks bad, Americans look bad. When Adam sinned, we sinned:

Rom 5:12 because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;

Unlike the transgression of the first Covenant (Covenant of Works), Jesus, the second Adam (1 Cor 15:45), enters into a New Covenant (Covenant of Grace) with God on the Worlds behalf, but this time the Covenant is fulfilled by Jesus' obedience:

Rom 5:18 So, then, as through one offence to all men it is to condemnation, so also through one declaration of `Righteous' it is to all men to justification of life;
Rom 5:19 for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous.

This is why I believe in universal redemption, and that Jesus is THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. It is plainly taught in scripture that all are declared justified and all will be (future tense) constituted righteous. And it is taught using the very reasons you've given: Federal Headship.

Yes, he is the President whether people reject him or not. However, that does not mean everyone will agree with his policies. The title of Saviour does not mean the Saviour will save everyone, it just says He is the Saviour. There are no other Saviours but Him. Many people still reject what He has to offer, just like many reject what Obama has to offer. Just like with Obama, who have enemies who try to undermine everything he does, there are people who try to undermine everything Jesus taught. He is the Saviour, and He will save everyone who will accept the free gift.

Unlike the president, Jesus policies are perfect, some reject now, just like anyone here has at one time rejected Jesus, then later came to understand and willingly accept those perfect policies.

The term title also does not accuratly describe Jesus role as Saviour of the world.

God sent his son to be this, not just to be called it.

Does Jesus atone for all sins as an active result of what he was sent to do?

1Jn 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

Do we then reinterpret another verse worded in like manner to imply something completely different. I see no context that requires me to do that.

1Jn 4:14 . And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.


There is more than just a title, it is Gods word sent and it will not return void. If all sins are not atoned for Gods word returns void, If the whole world is not saved then Gods word returned void.
