this sentence contradicts itself, it is because God chose his name that he had to tell marry or else she would not have known what to name him.If the parent mary was the one who chose the name then mary wouldn not have needed God to tell her what to name him.
there is power and meaning in names often times our names can even describe things about us. My name Blain has many meanings one of them is an infected oozing wound and my mom hated my guts i sometimes wonder if she knew the meaning of it when she named me but in the hebrew language each letter has a number to it and if you calculate the numbers of my name and seek the meaning of it then it means agape love which coincidentally is the gift I am strongest in Christ.
if he chose that name or not I honestly cannot say but it would be interesting if he knew what I would seek more than anything as a Christian and named me something that in this world is a gross and infected wound but in his is love
It does not contradict itself... Here is why...
If God chose our names, he would not have had to tell Marry to name him Jesus.... The reason is, his name would have already been laid out... And unchangeable by definition.
BUT! If we choose our childrens names, then God has to tell marry to name him Jesus... If he does not, then marry can name him anything, breaking prophecy and many other things...
God did choose his own name if you choose to look at it like that, but... You have to realize, this does not prove that God chooses our names... It proves our parents due... The only reason to tell marry to name him Jesus is to make sure he is named Jesus....
As to your name being "oozing wound", I would say you read far to much into the meaning of your name and should stop....
My step fathers name is Skeet, which is slang for sperm/semon and for shooting clay pigeons... LOL
My name is Tony, which means worthy of praise, and I am the biggest mess-up in my family...
My sister Marie, means sea of bitterness, but she is the nicest out of the family...
My brother Mark, means god of War, yet is the least likely out of me and him to get in a fight...
My sister Sabrina means from Cyprus, yet she is from America, Colorado...
Shall I go on?
