Members The Glory Land Posted June 15, 2014 Members Share Posted June 15, 2014 I do, but he or they are Spanish speaking folks. Why don't the English or white people name their child Jesus? Just checking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ukulelemike Posted June 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 16, 2014 I am always seeing pictures of some white, European, long-haired hippy on Facebook that people are always calling Jesus. They always ask if I'd let him in my house if he knocked and I say, no but I might give him a sandwich and send him on his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gabrielle A Posted June 16, 2014 Members Share Posted June 16, 2014 Oh my...this reminds me of a joke I heard recently... Jesus Is Watching You! Late one night, a burglar broke into a house that he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say: "Jesus is watching you!" Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again. The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot. He asked the parrot, "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?" "Yes", said the parrot. The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, then asked the parrot, "What's your name?" "Moses," said the bird. "That's a dumb name for a parrot", sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Moses?" The parrot replied, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus." sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ukulelemike Posted June 16, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 16, 2014 You think that's funny? Want to know funny? My mother-in-law had a pitbull named Jesus, and his mother was named Mary. True story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heartstrings Posted June 16, 2014 Members Share Posted June 16, 2014 When our first son was born, I named him Joshua and a lady at our church, upon hearing this, said "you named him the same as Jesus in the OT". I didn't argue with her but I was thinking "no, I named him Joshua". If the Lord had wanted the King James translators to call the OT person "Jesus", or the Lord, "Joshua". I believe it would be in there . No, I don't believe it's right to name your kid "Jesus", I don't care it you do pronounce it 'Hay soos". I think the highly exalted "name which is above every name" is holy and belongs to the King of Glory. Phil;ippians 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members heartstrings Posted June 16, 2014 Members Share Posted June 16, 2014 No, but I know where there is a "Sardis Baptist Church" in the next county. There was actually a good "Judas" in the Bible but I still wouldn't name my kid that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Genevanpreacher Posted June 16, 2014 Members Share Posted June 16, 2014 i agree with you, do you know anyone name Judas? In our Christian School in Cross Plains, IN years ago, we had a boy named Judas attending. My wife and I taught there for a couple of years. He wasn't in my grades, that I taught, nor my wife's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
