It says in Philippians chapter 2, the famous verse in verse 9, "Wherefore God also hath
highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth,
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the
Father."
The other error that I want to point out about this movement is referring to our Lord and
Savior as Yeshua instead of Jesus.
His name is Jesus not Yeshua, okay?
Now people will say, "Oh, Pastor Anderson, you poor ignorant English speaker.
You're speaking English and they'll say that English has just really bastardized the name
of our Savior by calling him Jesus.
It really should be Yeshua."
I've got news for you, the New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was not
written in Hebrew in the first place.
It never was in Hebrew.
It was written in what language?
Greek.
The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was written in the language of Greek.
And do you know what the name of our Savior is in the Greek New Testament?
Jesus.
Look it up.
It's spelled I-E-S-O-U-S, Jesus, or as our Spanish speaking friends would say, Jesus.
Or as my German wife would say, Jesus, okay, Jesus.
That is His name.
And to say that there is something wrong with that name, to criticize that name, and those
that are calling Him Yeshua will often say, "Oh, Jesus is a pagan name."
That's what they'll say.
I've heard them say that Jesus is related to the false god, Isis, or to the pagan group
of people, Jebus, or even that Jesus means Hail Zeus.
You know what, anybody who teaches that the name of Jesus is a pagan name or a false name
is going to split hell wide open.
I'll tell you that right now.
Anybody who has anything critical to say about the name of Jesus is not saved because the
Bible says, "No man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus Christ accursed."
And the Bible clearly teaches that the name of Jesus is the only name under heaven given
amongst men whereby we must be saved.
And so to say that there's something wrong with that name, Jesus, is to blaspheme God.
Now you can say, well, you know, there's no J sound in Hebrew.
Well so what?
We're speaking English.
That name is Jesus in English, it's Jesus in Spanish, it's Yezus in German, it's the same
name of the same person.
