WHAT’S IN A NAME, OR TITLE?

  • The translations are sometimes annoying (and not practical).
  • The original Greek/Hebrew is in red.

Our Lord Jesus Christ:   

Very poor translation. The original Greek reads:

Supreme Authority, Jesus (the) Anointed.

Anointed by whom?

Our spiritual Father (in the New Testament).

 

“The Spirit [wind; by resemblance breath] of the Lord [the Lord (used as a proper name of God only)] God is upon Me,

Because the Lord [(the) Self Existent] has anointed [rubbed (me) with oil] Me

To preach good tidings [to cheerfully announce (glad news)] to the poor [depressed (figuratively), in mind (gentle) or circumstances (needy)];

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted [burst] [heart],

To proclaim liberty to the captives,

And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

Isa. 61:1

 

In the New Testament, God, the Father, is known to us as, “Our Father”.

In the Old Testament He is often referred to as, “(the) Self Existent”.

 

He is Self Existent, 

we (human beings) are existent dependent.
