Does that mean the knowing of a name or actually knowing God and Jesus?
Nobody can call on a name that they don't know and the Christian Church has been the Christian Church since the time of Jesus and it appears to be without the Hebrew name of God. That being the case, it seems that the Hebrew...
Im not sure why you are needing one thing to be more important than the other...knowing Gods name is part of being a Christian.
"I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”- John17:26

The angels in Heaven are not preparing for anything. They are already Holy souls so they don't need to acquire any qualities.
So I guess you mean the Words that are in the New Testament?
Yes, I expect that Christians will continue to preach the Gospel, even though it has been preached to all...

Besides John 14:19 in verse 18 B please notice Jesus says, " I am coming to you. "
So, it will Not be a physical coming but as Isaiah 11:3-4; Rev. 19:14-15 informs us that the...
Understand better (the unbroken Jewish practice) that tradition ( Matt. 15:8-9; Mark 7:7 ; Isaiah 29:13 )
The unbroken Jewish practice/tradition is what Jesus warned against in the 23rd chapter of Matthew by his pronouncing many 'woes' against them.
They had many oral traditions outside of...
Is it really respect to just use LORD as to substitute for ' hallowed be thy name ' ?
Both LORD/Lord and God are titles and Not God's personal name ( YHWH Tetragrammaton )
Jewish tradition is tradition or Jewish custom outside of Scripture but Not Scripture.- Matt. 15:9
Jesus asked us to pray...
I'd like to take the liberty to add to the ^ above ^ that it was among ' Un-faithful Jews' before Christianity existed.
When those 'Un-faithful Jews' began mixing with Greek philosophies that contributed to superstition about using God's personal name.
On the other hand, Jesus used God's...
Respect, or rather out of superstition.
Jesus wanted God's personal name respected by praying God's name should be hallowed ( be sacred )
Jesus used God's personal name and said it will be used at John 17:6; John17:26
KJV at Psalm 110 mentions two (2) LORD/Lords.
No trinity or triune...
Do you hear your own words: ‘God was speaking to another person’…
Yes, the ‘US’ was not a pre-human Jesus.
I think you are trying to tread a path between Trinitarians who claim Jesus WAS GOD (which would he to say GOD was speaking to himself) and Jesus was another sentient Being to whom God...
There are many parents who have more than one child and sometimes some are loving and some are not.
I met a man at a campsite and noticed how well behaved his children were and mentioned that to him.
His reply startled me because he said he also had a son in jail.
Did that make him a failure...
Bible translators stemming from un-faithful Jews being superstitious about saying God's name.
JKV translators chose capital letters LORD for the Tetragrammaton, and some lower-case letters for Lord Jesus - Psalm 110 - No Tetragrammaton
However, KJV translators did print God's name in English...
First, I find at Gen.1:26 God is speaking to someone " Let 'us'....." (God is Not speaking to Himself)
..... according to 'our' likeness......
Both words 'us' and 'our' implies someone else involved.
Pre-human heavenly Jesus is the one separate person of Proverbs 8:22-31.
The created one of...
God's main attributes or qualities are of course Love, but also include wisdom, mercy and justice.......
This is why we are capable of such qualities although to a limited degree due to our present imperfection.
Besides Exodus 3:14 at Exodus 3:15 we find the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) were God's...
In the Talmud, which is oral Torah, the Socratic-like dialogues and debate between the great sages uses scripture to interpret scripture. As you well know, it's a genuine thing of beauty and a great privilege to observe these brilliant men going back and forth using scripture to interpret...
I also find the theme which Jesus proclaimed is as found at Luke 4:43 about 'God's Kingdom' (Daniel 2:44).
Besides praying for God's Kingdom to come (thy kingdom come....) Jesus stressed that his God's name should be hallowed, held as sacred, sanctified - John 17:6; John17:26.
Thus, we are all...
