Hi Travis/
Is the Messiah's name Jesus?
You said... John 20:31...
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
In Greek it is ...31 ταῦτα δὲ γέγραπται ἵνα πιστεύσητε ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ
υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἵνα πιστεύοντες ζωὴν ἔχητε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.
Also YOU cannot just take Scripture in bits and pieces and PUT them together as you wish.
In the Greek it is Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς...Which means 'He who Saves'
And the Christ...One who is annointed!
Pronunciation of the Word in itself is not some miracle working thing!
Where did you get this from?
If this were true, whenever someone says Devil or Lucifer or whatever other FORMS he chooses to be at the time, would it not be as you say by a
'belief' in his name, get you somewhere?
A belief is not what is only required....you are confusing or misinterpreting the Word of God.
You said....
He is Salvation, the very belief on his true name can get you salvation.
This is NOT TRUE!
The New Testament as well as the Old testifies to that!
Another Misinterpretation!
Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
You cannot just CUT Scripture up!
Follow it RIGHT through, otherwise ANYONE can interpret it as THEY want!
Scripture///And I haven't given here all that follows...
Acts10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
This is not Given to you and me to do...As we READ Acts:10:41
Jesus Christ chose His Apostles and also according to Jesus Christ, They also chose....
Acts 8:12 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.....36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be
baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
ACTS 1:
1 Τὸν μὲν πρῶτον λόγον ἐποιησάμην περὶ πάντων, ὦ Θεόφιλε, ὧν ἤρξατο ὁ
Ἰησοῦς ποιεῖν τε καὶ διδάσκειν
2 ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας ἐντειλάμενος τοῖς ἀποστόλοις διὰ Πνεύματος ἁγίου οὓς
ἐξελέξατο ἀνελήφθη·
3 οἷς καὶ παρέστησεν ἑαυτὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τὸ παθεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν πολλοῖς
τεκμηρίοις, δι' ἡμερῶν τεσσαράκοντα ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς καὶ λέγων τὰ περὶ
τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ.
4 καὶ συναλιζόμενος παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων μὴ χωρίζεσθαι, ἀλλὰ
περιμένειν τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πατρὸς ἣν ἠκούσατέ μου·
5 ὅτι Ἰωάννης μὲν ἐβάπτισεν ὕδατι, ὑμεῖς δὲ βαπτισθήσεσθε ἐν Πνεύματι
ἁγίῳ οὐ μετὰ πολλὰς ταύτας ἡμέρας.......

English Translation.....THE former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things
pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which,
saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
NOT ALL people, but those Chosen by The Lord Jesus Christ!
All you have done is cut up the Scriptures and fitted them as you wanted,this can't be done!
Im not accusing you, but whoever it came from is not the rightfull translation.
I dont have time for more, but one cannot translate and interpret what already has been done.
