Even in the early days of the Presidential campaign it was a ludicrous idea: that Donald Trump was now a Christian; that he’d miraculously “found Jesus” right at the time he needed to pull in millions of Evangelical voters. Never mind that his life showed an open contempt for most of the things the Jesus of the Gospels lived and preached: humility, generosity, respect, empathy, kindness, peace.

So if somebody is now a Christian that means they "found Jesus"? This is not true.

Jesus was not Christian. He was born a Hebrew Israelite of the Tribe of Juda. The original Hebrew Israelites were dark-skinned. He was not born a leper but was described in scripture as bronze-skinned. See references here: Dan 10:5-6; Ezekial 40:3; Rev 1:15-17

The name "Jesus" is not his name because the letter "J" was never used in the Hebrew bible. His holy and blessed name is Yahshua meaning "salvation". The name "Jesus" is English and according to the Latin translation means "Earth Pig" or something unclean. http://www.sabbathcovenant.com/d.../sus_is_latin_for_pig.htm

This nation was never created under Christian or Jewish law. It is a secular nation created by our Forefathers who were inspired by the Christian ways but sought to keep the people free from personal persecution of their personal faiths. Our First Amendment makes that very clear when its states in part, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

I don’t know Donald Trump. He may actually believe he is a Christian.

When asked repeatedly, he denied that he prayed and specifically denied having ever asked God for forgiveness of any sins.

By any historical standard, he is not a Christian. I suspect he doesn't have the fundamental understanding of Christian doctrine and practice that is well-known even to young children raised in the various churches.

I'm surprised the article neglected to mention this most crucial bit of info about Teh Donald.

However, he may be the most Christian-friendly president in recent decades, not merely to pander to the Christian voters but as a matter of basic fairness and of a solidarity with traditional Christian values that he is capable of recognizing over the course of his own lifetime.

It is time we stop calling liberals humans.

Few things damage a poster's credibility than trotting out some tendentious etymology to make a damned point.

The 'j' in Jesus was pronounced as a 'y' as it is in German and that's how it was pronounced in the mother language that gave rise to both Anglo-Saxon and Old High German. The name was written often interchageably Iesus and Jesus. In fact the written J evolved from the i or iota.

Up until the time of Chaucer (1300s) Jesus was pronounced ee-ay-sus, the same s in German or Dutch. This pronunciation was derived from the Corinthian Greek of the New Testament: ™·Ã¿Í or ee-ay-sous. In Spanish of course the J is a H and it's hay-sus. The name has gone through countless phonological permutations in many languages.

In none of these cases does the name Jesus have anything to do with a stinkin' pig.

That's a matter of opinion and not fact.

Really? Then why was our Savior's named changed from Yeshua to Jesus? Names have meanings you know. For reference here is something to chew on: www.eliyah.com/nameson.htm

and here www.eliyah.com/yahushua.html

Then why was our Savior's named changed from Yeshua to Jesus?

The name wasn't changed. That is, no one decided to change it.

Words change in form and sound because of differences in pronunciation and different sound inventories in various languages.

For instance we say 'semitic' and not 'shemitic' because we adopted the Latinate adjective for the same, and there is no 'sh' in Latin. In Latin Shem is Sem.

I once listened to a left wing educator blabber on about how racist it was to refer to Jews and Arabs as Semites, because 'semi' meant half-breeds. That's a two-fer argument. It's tendentious and ignorant at the same time.

Dubious etymology is a specialty of Maxwell's. For example, the Christian worship of God's "son," who is risen, is clearly derived from Roman worship of the "sun," which rises each morning. Son-sun, he repeats, it's obvious. (Can his audience truly be so simplistic to believe that these words would sound the same to speakers of Latin, Greek, or Hebrew?) "Christ" is really "cristo" or "crisco," which means "oil," not anointed. The "Lord," originally spelled "Lard," is simply congealed "crisco." Passover is when the sun "passes over" the equator which marks the beginning of spring.

(According to his resume, Maxwell was an "On-screen Expert and Research Consultant" for the CBS pseudodocumentary series "Ancient Secrets of the Bible." With "expertise" like his, no wonder that program had the real scholars howling!

Christian, you might be tempted to argue with me or attack my position, and you would be welcome to, but I’d first suggest you go and read the Sermon on the Mount, spend some time in reflection and prayer—and then look with fresh eyes and tell me where you see Jesus in this man’s life and why you’re okay claiming it as your own.

Let me start by saying that in my view most of those who claim to be Christian arn't christian, but not being God, I really don't have the right to make that judgement because i can't see inside their heart or soul.

If Trump has "become" a Christian then he has a long walk to sancification, but everything before that moment has passed. Man has a nature and it is difficult to overcome and we, even those who have been Christians for many years, can revert in a moment of stress. So here you have a man who may have listened to those around him and made a commitment to Christ without understanding what it really means. And now he has an important position where he must make life and death decisions. I hope he will listen to that small voice if he is still enough to hear. but please remember that scripture also tells us that God appoints rulers

For instance we say 'semitic' and not 'shemitic' because we adopted the Latinate adjective for the same, and there is no 'sh' in Latin. In Latin Shem is Sem.

We adopted the Latin adjective? Who is we? Latin is the language spoken and written by the scribes of Rome. I know this because my mother was raised Roman Catholic and was versed in written and in speech in Latin. To write in English was a vulgar language meant for the great unwashed and uninitiated of the mysteries of Latin to those raised in this fashion. I, on the other hand, chose to follow a road less traveled when it comes to finding out the real Savior. And I have found Him. And He is nothing as described in what I see in today's churches. All those churches out there are misleading so many people with those graven images of Him as white when it is common knowledge that the Vatican church has been seen praying to a Black Madonna and black child.

Hebrew is the language the Israelites spoke and wrote and I must add to this that the original Israelites were the black Ethiopians. All one needs to do is start researching on some of this and what they may find may surprise them.

The name wasn't changed. That is, no one decided to change it.

Behind every name has a meaning. And Yeshua was the real name of Jesus a Hebrew Israelite.

Is means the state of being, el is a god or deity, and rei is pronounced like ray which is a broad, flat marine or freshwater fish. Therefore Israel is a broad, flat fish god.

The Oxford American Dictionary, Second Edition

Jesu. archaic form of Jesus. Middle English: from Old French. Jesus became the usual spelling in the 16th cent., but Jesu was often retained in translations of the Bible, reflecting Latic vocative use.

Jesus (the name) existed before Modern English was used. Old English looks more like German than modern English. It came to Old English from Old French.

Old English. the language of the Anglo-Saxons (up to about 1150), a highly inflected language with a largely Germanic vocabulary, very different from modern English. Also called Anglo-Saxon.

However, translated to other languages? Jesus is derived from the Latin transliteration of the Greek which is Iesous.

Hebrew for Christians

It’s Time We Stopped Calling Donald Trump a Christian

I'm not interested in what branch of mythology he subscribes to. I'm only interested in his serious intention to fulfill the promises he made during his campaign. And if he trys to make friends with his former enemies, he's nuts. They are very self-serving and unforgiving.

We adopted the Latin adjective? Who is we?

English speakers, silly goose.

Is means the state of being, el is a god or deity, and rei is pronounced like ray which is a broad, flat marine or freshwater fish. Therefore Israel is a broad, flat fish god.

In English we pronounce the -ra- as -rei-, but no one else does, including Hebrew speakers. We pronounce a lot of things in strange ways because of a vowel shift in our language that happened quite a long time ago. Everyone else pronounces Israel Is-rah-el.

Pronunciation of Israel

And you cannot divorce the -r- from the is-. The sibilant and the liquid are part of the root. s-r or s-r-r or sh-r is a consonantal semitic root denoting power, authority, rule. So Isra-el: 'struggle with or alongside' God or 'God struggles' depending on your interpretation.

Thus Jacob was renamed Israel after he battled with God and won - but what does the name literally mean?

The verb 'isra'?

Theophoric names, consisting of the name of a deity and a verb, were common in the ancient Near East. (Examples still in use today include Jeremiah, "God exalts," Daniel and Jehoshaphat – both meaning "God judges", any number of names based on the Greek and Roman gods, and so on).

And while "Israel" is evidently a theophoric name, the Biblical account of the name's origin is hard to accept. For one thing, its description of how the name was conferred isn't how theophoric names worked.

According to the etymology based on the Biblical story, "isra" is a verb that describes Jacob's relationship with the deity El.

But the verb in theophoric names in the ancient Near East, and in ancient Israel in particular, should describe an attribute of the deity, not of the person. So, based on that rule, the verb isra probably described the god El in some way (who, 3,300 years ago, was not considered a sole god, but the head of the Canaanite pantheon).

The problem is that it isn’t clear what that rare verb isra means, and various scholars and translators do not agree.

The King James translation of the Bible for example, took the verb to derive from the root s-r-r and thus interpreted it “as a prince hast thou power,” or in other words, “rules like a prince”. Other scholars have suggested that the verb comes from the root y-sh-r, - meaning “straight” or “fair,” thus the name would mean something like “God is just.”

But the best answer is apparently that which the Bible itself gives in the Genesis verse above, that "isra" means “struggles,” or “fights.” But it isn't Jacob who is doing the struggling, it's God. By that interpretation, "Israel" means "God shall fight".

So there's nothing "fishy" about the name of Israel

Here's centuries of scholarship on the Name Jesus:

2424 Isoús – Jesus, the transliteration of the Hebrew term, 3091 /Lṓt ("Yehoshua"/Jehoshua, contracted to "Joshua") which means "Yahweh saves" (or "Yahweh is salvation").

"Jesus Christ" is properly "Jesus the Christ." "Jesus" (2424 /Isoús) is His human name, as the incarnate, eternal Son of God (Mt 1:21,25, see also Lk 1:31) – the Christ, the divine Messiah (the second Person of the holy Trinity).

[Christ (His title) means "the Anointed One" (the eternal pre-incarnate, Logos, Jn 1:1-18).]

Stongs Jesus

“Iesous” literally translated means “Hail Zeus”

You are reading poppycock from www.sabbathc ovenant.com/c...ception/ IesousinGreek.htm.

There is no verb -ei- in Corinthian (biblical) Greek for "hail." To hail or acclaim is "chairitzeto."

“It is known that the Greek name endings with sus, seus, and sous were attached by the Greeks to names and geographical areas as means to give honor to their supreme deity, Zeus."

It is better known that all masculine names in Greek end in -s or -n. In English we say "Plato" but in Greek "Platon." "Alexander" > "Alexandros," and so forth. Check it out:

www.behindthename.com/names/usage/ancient-

When the Greeks imported names, for example Semitic ones, they added the masculine nominative endings. So Jacob or Ya'aqov in Hebrew is Iakobos. John or Yochanan is Ioannes.

Do yourself a favor and quit reading crap. There are hundreds of years of careful scholarship (by scholars that actually read and write and speak these languages) based on the DOCUMENTS that are left us. That includes the Gospels.

It's about swallowing wholesale stuff you see on websites written by people with an ax to grind who claim to have knowledge of languages and history and religion but plainly show no evidence of it.

It does great damage to the common understanding.

The only damage done to oneself is to remain ignorant of the truth. And to some of us who choose to remain ignorant rather than search for the truth, ignorance is bliss. But to others who seek higher learning truth know that knowledge is power. Lack of it is what not only destroys a people but damages futures generations.

And to some of us who choose to remain ignorant rather than search for the truth, ignorance is bliss.

I can see that.

"It does great damage to the common understanding."

Absolutely agree, my friend...Mis-information and rampant GroupThink flourish within the "Intellectual Community" and a significant portion of this is due to "Willful Ignorance" and primarily the responsibility of the News Consumer, imho.

Sometimes I think it might be fun and profitable to find some golden tablets with all the mysteries of the universe inscribed on them. With some zeal and attention I could perhaps scrape together an interested crowd and get them to fork over five bucks each to listen to me lecture about it. But that would be wrong.
