However it's your acceptance of the Chinese version and NOT accepting the English version that is perturbing.

I also note that YOU CANNOT explain why one is acceptable and the other is not because you CANNOT explain which level of closeness works for you and which doesn't.

In the end, the inconsistency speaks for itself.

If you think you're in a box, it's because you put yourself there, not me.[/b]

you assume that I accept the chinese version. Did I say I did? Wink

phonetic anglinasation?

Unker, to be fair, Brey did mentioned about using the name "Ye Su a'

vince69 SG

Things we have discussed on so far...

The original name of our Lord is Yeshua, which means Salvation.

The Transliterated names like Jesus, Iesus, Ye Shu, Ye Shu a ...etc do not have any meaning.

Its good and benefical to teach/share about the original name and its meaning to the general audience.

Due to the various literacy and maturity level, there is no need to over burden others on which translation/language to use when addressing the Lord.

Heck... this is not even the original purpose of this thread... which is to share about the usefulness and interesting aspect of knowing and understanding the original names and its meanings of people and places, and I am refering to People who want to indept character/location based bible studies. Sad

*edit: now I am not sure if there is an agreement Embarassed

Chin Eng SG

Point taken.... I missed up the small "A" However, practically no Chinese church ever used Ye Su Ah. So it is still not close to Yeshua.

you never said you DID not accept. when compared to the anglicised version, you are vehemently opposed to it. Not just in this thread but also in the past.

Why not say it clearly when I asked you to choose the two options? Why say that I tried to put you in a box?

You need to note that I am not burdened with such translation issue.

Chin Eng SG

So after explaining, can we use "Jesus"?

For example, because I know your real name, why can't I use it? By the same token, it probably tells me more about you and your heritage.... Laughing

Chin Eng SG

you think? especially the part in RED

breytonhartge SG

you are being facecious in using that as an example

breytonhartge SG

if you still don't get it...... Neutral lets not butcher this topic? you have put across your points on this many times already, all vince was trying to do was to share his experience and not turn this into a whos right and whos wrong topic... he posted something here to edify, lets keep it at that.
