What power do sacred names have? Is Acts 4:10-12 clear? Is the name Yahshua or is it Jesus? Does it matter?

I believe it is of utmost importance.  But I am a Christian.  \n\nTo those who reject the Bible, it makes very little difference so far as they can see.\n\nIf you do a word study of the Name of God, you'll see how important it is.  His Name is synonymous with His Authority and Power.

Psalm 83:18 does say Gods name is Jehovah. In the original hebrew manuscripts the tetragramaton appeared almost 7000 times. Over the years many bible translators have removed the name Jehovah because some religions believe that the name is too sacred to pronounce. \n\nCould you really call someone who you don't know their name your best friend or even friend? Jehovah God tells us we can draw close to him and he wants us to use his name. \n\nOn the official web site of Jehovah's Witnesses there is a part that explains more. www.watchtower.org

Jesus' real name IS Jesus.\n\nJesus is the 'modern' version (during his time) of the Hebrew name Joshua (yeshua): meaning "the Lord is my salvation". it was a fairly common biblical name among the Jews.

Wow! Talk about strange answers!!!!!\nBelow find a link to our website where you can learn a lot about us.\nIt is true that many condem us for our work for and with God.\nWe are followers of Christ/Jesus , Jehovah's son. We do as he requested us to do, educate people according to his father's teachings. We carry God's name, not his title 'God' is a title, as is Lord.\nIf you have an older King James Bible, you will find God's name at Psalms 83 verse 18.\nAlso you can find in Isahiah 43 verses 10 through 12 where he gave us his name to use.\nWe are the only religon that is authorized to carry God's name.

This is what i learned: \n\n"Yeshua is the original Aramaic name.  Yeshua is a Hebrew name which has been transliterated into Greek as Iesous (IhsouV: pronounced "ee-ay-SUS"). The English "Jesus" comes from the Latin transliteration of the Greek name into the Latin Iesus.\n\n Now Greek has no "y" sound, but the Latin "i" is both an "i" and a "j" (i.e., it can have a consonantal force in front of other vowels), the latter of which is properly pronounced like the English "y" (which explains the German Jesu, "YAY-su")That is why we spell Jesus as we do, taking it straight from Latin, but we pronounce the name with a soft "j" sound because that is what we do in English with the consonantal "j".

There is not an easy answer to this question.  As I understand it Arabic is is a relatively new language and Allah is  the term for God.  The ancient generic term for God  was El  and I would suspect that Allah is derived from El rather than Jah.  I believe that Yahweh is an exclusive Hebrew term.  (Jehovah is an English attempt at transliteration and Yahweh is a more refined attempt)\n\nYahweh was not used in common speech, and even in religious declarations was substituted by Adonai, hence the Biblical translation LORD.  Yahweh is the thrice holy God (implying that you can not get anything more holy) Even references to God that are direct are given remoteness so it is the voice of God that walked in the garden and the angel that spoke out of the bush to Moses.\n\nMoses was told that  the  forefather's were unaware of the holy  name, however, the text reckons that they were which could mean that the ancient oral traditions were revised as the scriptures were being compiled.\n\nEl, i understand, was actually a pagan deity but the term meant God rather I suppose in the same way as biro  means a ball point pen and hoover a vacuum cleaner.\n\nThe main problem is that we do not have a concept of a God with a personal name and are rather sketchy on holiness.  The best that we have been able to do is to give God a capital letter.\n\nThe Lord Jesus gave us the idea of a God that was personal to us, Hallowed Father.  The apostle develops it and declares we cry Abba, this is common in many languages, ba ba  Chinese, papa, English and other European languages.\n\nThere is only one recorded instance where the Lord did not address God as Father and that was on the cross where he used Eloi .  You see the name of God is holy, and he would not have uttered it in such a place of death and cursing, not until his work was complete and sin was paid for, then he presented his offering and said "Father into your hands I commit my spirit"\n\nJesus is the latinised form of Joshua or if you prefer  Yeshua which means Yah saves ( should it be Yahshua?) \n\nYahweh as well as holiness also carries with it a concept of salvation, of deliverance, of preservance.\n\nBoth Allah and  Yahweh carry the idea of hope and promise.  There can only be one God who is the one God and both names carry this concept.  In view of this reasoning both must be the same,  however, I don't think their theologies quite agree.  In the bible which has been corrupted according the the proponets of the Quran  Isaiah declares \n"As the rain and snow come down from the heavens\nand do not return without watering the earth,\nmaking it produce grain\ngiving seed for sowing and bread to eat,\nso it is with my words issuing from my mouth;\nit will not return to me empty\nwithout accomplishing my purpose\n and succeeding in the task for which I sent it"\n\nTo my mind that does not give much room for corruption nor for the new to usurp the old.\n\nThere again the Quran states something like has God acquired a son? And there are lots of curses on those who say so and then the idea of a whole pantheon is introduced of aunts and uncles and cousins and whatever and riduculed  for God is one and uniquily one.\n\nYet the psalmist declares 'You are my son.' he said to me\n'this day I became your father....'\n\nTherefore I would suggest that God is used unless out of deference Allah or another term is used whenever refering about God, and it is not necessary to use Yahweh or Jehovah.  \n\nWhen you are addressing God, and callling on his name, to seek his presence to make  petition then a tem of reverence is required

His real name was Yeshua ben Yosef (Jesus/ Joshua son of Joseph) Yeshua was a quite common name at that time and is the name of other biblical characters but translates differently each time\n\nOK Joe... Jesus' name was also translated Joshua, like the spy/ leader of the Israelites and another name but I confuse which is a translation of Yehudah and which is Yeshua-- I do know Yehudah was Judah and James but I don't remember what Jude and Judas were

Acts 8:9  But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:\n10  To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.\n11  And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.\n12  But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.\n13  Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.\n\nOf course he was treated fairly.  He was shown his mistake and allowed to change from the error of his ways.\n\nMagicians can't do miracles.  Only God can do those or empower others to do them.

The basic translation of the Hebrew God's name is YHWH.  The Jews left out the vowels because no human is worthy to either write or speak the full name of God.  Modern English speakers, fill in the vowel spaces with likely sounds, producing Yahweh.\n\nAs far as we can tell, the oldest name for the Hebrew God is YHWH, making this the most proper name.  Also, Christianity and Islam were created out of Judaism, so YHWH would be most proper name for the God of Christians and the God of Islam.\n\nThe basic story, from what I remember, is that Abraham was contacted by YHWH and his family and those who chose to follow YHWH became the Jews.  Over time, the Jews needed a Messiah, or a spiritual leader to bring them back to the right way of worship, so Jesus was sent to earth to help the Jews find the right path.  The followers of Jesus became the Christians.  After some time, Mohammed was born and spent his young life traveling, and came in contact with both Christian and Jewish merchants, from whom he learned about YHWH.  After some time, Mohammed was contacted by YHWH and became his prophet.  The followers of Mohammed became the Muslims.\n\nThat is roughly how it all went.  So, Non-Jews call God YHWH because that is his name, and we all follow that same God.

Yeshua used to be a common Jewish name, but I have not known this to be a common thing today.  Jews do not take the names of what they would consider to be a false God, and since Christians worship Yeshua (Jesus), then they do not take that name, and some will not even pronounce it!  They will say "Yoshke" or "Yoshkele" or something like that.\n\nThe rest of those are not Jewish names.  But some may have Hebrew equivalents.  For example, if I'm not mistaken, James = Jacob - Yaakov.  There are PLENTY of Jewish Yaakov's.

John 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name; and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. \n\nHe came in his father name Yahweh or Yah for short and we recieve him not. But if someone came in there own name Jesus him we would recieve. \n\n  The Messiah was a Hebrew Israelite from the Tribe of Judah, He lived as a Hebrew with a Hebrew Name given to him from Yah the father.  The name Jesus is English, there is no J or J equivalent in the Hebrew language.  Jesus is not the English translation of the Messiah's Hebrew name. Jesus is a name created by men not by the Most High.  The Hebrew Messiah name is Yahshuah, which means Yah's Salvation or Salvation of Yah, his name tells you whom he is and what his mission is.

The reason there are so many false religions is that Satan is working to confuse mankind and deny God the worship which the Almighty deserves:\n\n(2 Corinthians 4:3,4) If, now, the good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, 4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through\n\n\nIt is very surprising that most people do not use any form of the divine name. It's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". If we want a familiar and close relationship, however, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) seems to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".\n\n(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth\n\n(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them\n\n\nThat last Scripture helps self-described Christians understand that they also should be working to make known God's name by means of house-to-house preaching. Which religion is doing that?\n\nJehovah's Witnesses.\nhttp://watchtower.org

His real name was Joshua or Yeshua. That's what all the people who knew him probably would have called him. But when the various writers of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) decided to write about him, they wrote in what was the most internatiionally used language in their region in those days (Greek) so that as many people as possible would be able to understand their "Good News". So in their writing they translated his name to the nearest Greek equivalent (Jesus).  The way his name is rendered into a langauge is not important. The meaning of his name (Savior) is.

Gods name is not in the bible in the English translation you have The Lord,THE LORD,God his name is not used. Everywhere where THE LORD is use it was once YHWH with vowels it's believe to be pronouce Yahweh, and where The Lord is used you have adoni which the hebrews change YHWH to adoni to prevent improper pronoucing of his name. With is why no one remember this name.

No, salvation is ONLY in the name Yahshua. \n\nActs4;12 state their is salvation in any other for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven givin among men whereby we must be saved.\n\nthe name Jesus is not even it the King James bible in 1611 so that means it wasn't Jesus. In fact there is no J, or J sound in Hebrew. Or any language until the 1500's. but notice is DOSE NOT say that any name referring to him, or any translation of his name. He say there is no other name FROM Heaven, Yahshua came from Heaven men made Jesus. Yahshua was givin to men, men made Jesus. But God say there is only one name under Heaven, If Yahshua was that name then what is the name of Jesus?
