Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

How does the name, Jesus, relate to giving cause for Him to "save His people?. I know, but tell me.

A name is a name but the man Jesus saves.

Doesn't Jesus (or presumably Yeshua) mean "God saves" in Hebrew?

You are correct but it may be translated "The Salvation of Yah(weh) also" "His people" are all who are saved by His name.....

The question in this thread is academic, not a subjective question. If you are not aware, read the response from Dave...... He has studied the definition in question...God bless you.

This forum is called Bible Discussion for a reason. In discussing the Word of God and as good and faithful stewards of His Word, it is necessary to approach itin part academically.

For me, the reason the Angle of the Lord made this pronouncement and understanding what was said foretelling the name of the Only Begotten Son of God is most paramount in the foundation of any believer's understanding. Yes, I know Who is the Foundation.

If the post is an attempt at humor mixed with the Word of God, I am afraid I go along with the teaching that we are to be sober-minded at al times. Lol's and cartoonds do not always have a place in certain threads.

I do know that recognizing what God named His Son, what it truly means, is fundamental and important.

Scoff at this share if you will, even giggle or laugh, but it is very important, at least it is to me as a brother in Christ.

Does anyone here believe the above makes any sense without knowing just what Jesus will translate as? If so, your mind issuprior to those who do not make a logical connection between Jesus and because He will save His people.

I called this approach to understanding academic because first of all, it is, and secon there are some who need such languagee employed due to thier understanding.

God always makes total sense, and I believe this clarification of the definition of Jesus shines a very bright light on this aspect of our Father. It is important for many. Perhaps some are above learnign with understanding......I cannot say that I know any of those though, not who are in Christ.

It makes perfect sense. A Son to save His people from their sins. In the English language that Son's name is Jesus.

makes sense to me :)

There are roughly 6,500 spoken languages in the world today. However, about 2,000 of those languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers. The most popular language in the world is Mandarin Chinese. There are 1,213,000,000 people in the world that speak that language.

And Jesus "the English translated name" can speak through everyone of these different languages.

From the response of the OP who agrees with God saves yet rebukes my statement that Jesus Saves seems to be referring to Torah mandate.

How does this correlate with the fact that there were many men named "Jesus" before He was born, many men with that same name while He was living here, and many who came afterward with the same name?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand how you're coming up with that conclusion. Could you explain please?

Thanks.

It was in respect to the Son of man, the flesh that could not profit as a spiritual un-seen work, the faith principle . And not Jesus in respect to the eternal Spirit which did profit and cannot die. .

Can you try that again? But this time so it makes a little better sense?

Hello Willie T

This subject may be of interest to many, but it has no bearing on the question posed. Here in Spain, Jesus is a common name for many, and it is tradition with nor regard to the translation of the name , as given by the Angel of the Lord.

Yes, many people may be named Jesus or Yeshua, but not by the Angel of the Lord, only our Savior was named this for the attributes the translation gives Him, "Salvation of God (of Yahweh.). This shows no relationsip with the Hebrew name aside from the traditions of men which came after.

Yoshua son of Nun, or, Yahoshua ben Nun, is an older version of the name Yeshua, and he also was a type of savior of the Children of Israel, but not the Ony Son of God.

Just as Joshua son of Nun led God's people into the promised land, so Yeshua the Only Begotten Son of God leads God people into the Israel of God, the promised land.

There are so many wonderful understandings and even revelations that come with recognizing our spiritual heritage from the Children of Israel who were disobedient in the wilderness, yet, by their disobedience salvation was gained by all nations for those who believe Jesus Christ........ Good thought. Start a thread if it moes you to dos oso.

How does this correlate with the fact that there were many men named "Jesus" before He was born, many men with that same name while He was living here, and many who came afterward with the same name?

Have you not ever read in the Old Testament where God not only declares He is our Redeemer and our Salvation, but also that He is our King.

Have you never read Isaiah 9:6 where we are taught by God that the child born to the virgin would be known as the Everlasting Father, the Almighty God, the Ruler of Peace, Counselor, Comforter and more?

How can you think Jesus and the Father are not the Same, One...........along with the Holy Spirit. Does not the HOly Spirit teach you this when you read Isaiah and other prophets?

well I was wondering the same thing about the OP statement of my post that what I said is not on subject of the thread.
(a name is a name Jesus saves) does that mean that God saves Yes which in my opinion Jesus is God as well. Though if a person believes in Jewish tradition they don't believe he was the Son of God or that Jesus is God. If I had said Emmanuel which means "God with us" in Spanish I may had a more friendly conversation with the OP.

Have you read the NT that Jesus saves that no one comes to the father except through Him Jesus?
