It looks very insightful and as a person who likes to learn, this might just be a great resource. I have already started to look at the Revelation document before replying here.
The fact that there are now not only the Greek to look at, but also the Hebrew (which will give more understanding of the writings) just makes me even more sensitive about how we communicate the Word. We have to ensure that we get the message across and therefore talk in the language of the listener so that we can actually communicate.
We have to remember that the transfer of the message doesn't come from the listener's side, but from the broadcaster's side. If the speaker doesn't communicate the message clearly in understandable terms then the listener won't understand.
If we now start giving our message with Greek or Hebrew words intermixed with for example English and the listener doesn't know what we are saying then the message gets lost.
Is it better to teach someone to "love your neighbour" or will we teach them to "phileó your neighbour" as we are pedantic about getting the message across 100% as the writer intended it to be?
I would rather talk to a Christian about Jesus and how the message has been twisted over the years and His Hebrew roots removed from the Church's message than start off the bat with "using the name Jesus is wrong and only pagans use it" and insisting on calling Him Yeshua before even starting to give the Good News message.
I aim to be a Roman to the Romans and a Hebrew to the Hebrews. If the Gentiles already have a kind of an understand of what the name Jesus stands for, then why not use it as a foundation? Some people who have come to the understanding of Torah want to first break down the foundation and call people sinners who use the name of Jesus and will only build once the name of Yeshua is acknowledged as their new "foundation of truth".
I am just thinking, if the name "Jesus Christ" is powerless as it isn't Yeshua's "correct" name then why do people insist on using this specific name when swearing? Might it just be that even this transliterated name has power? 🤔
