This happened with me too some time ago.

You can't think you know a language because of some program on your computer.
I'd agree with TMal3 that, unless you're fluent in Hebrew or Koine Greek, you should just stick to what the bible has written.

If you don't trust the translators of the bible, especially modern versions that have been written with more information available to us, then I don't really understand how you trust any of the bible.

Looks like you're going to have to learn 3 languages and learn them well.

The English form "Jesus" was not seen nor spoken until AFTER the year 1525...
when Sir William Tyndale, a Protestant Reformer from Oxford, England - INVENTED IT!
Christ name is Yahshua.

If Christ name is Jesus, then the word of God has failed.

Exodus 23:21
Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, because my Name is in him.

John 17:11
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one.

Yahwah is the Father.
Yahshua is the Son.

Halleluyah
You think the writer of Hebrews was speaking of the name "Yahshua"?

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

Paul spoke different languages. Also, the translation you are quoting is not 100% correct.
Yahshua means "God's helper," as an interpretation.

Where did you read Yahshua in Hebrews 1:2 ?

Since Jesus has been appointed by God the heir of all things then you should reason all that belongs to the Father also belongs to Him. Also noting the creation was made through Him reflects the deity of the Father found in Him. (His nature and oneness with the Father)
 
Spoken like a woman.
Galatians 3:26-28
26For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.



You better prepare yourself CR,
You're going to find many women in heaven.
 
Spoken like a woman.
Hmmm, a woman with insight and understanding surpassing your own. Just sayin'. You could learn a lot from 'that woman.'

Thank God and Praise be to Jesus that faithful women discovered the empty tomb first! (while the men hid in fear) 🙏

What do you mean by "Christian essentials"? Do you really mean to be or become one, or attributes one has or should have?
 
Well I won't (and can't) speak for others, but here is my position at least

Position. That rings a bell.
Romans 12:1 kjv
1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Ok we present our bodies.

Now for reasonable service.

Back in a minute.

Ephesians 6:5 kjv
5. Servants, be obedient to them that are yourmasters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6. Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7. With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8. Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

A free man can serve God. The bond man is under obligation. If the slave is given the opportunity he can be free.

1 Corinthians 7:21 kjv
21. Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use itrather.
22. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
23. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
24. Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

I am still lacking the ( if a man has the opportunity to be free…..) verse 21 added

Now I thought the three posts were self evident. LOL

God evidently looks at us as individuals. We are not given one rule. Whosoever will may come. (Under the lordship of Jesus Christ)

The Great Commission stands.

Every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God!

The word of God!

Sacred Scripture (73) books
and
Sacred apostolic tradition!

Truth and the church are of divine origin and CANNOT be reformed by the tradition of men!

Thanks
 
There is to be no promotion of Catholic doctrine outside of the Catholic forum.
 
It is unlawful to reject any truth revealed but God and taught by His apostolic church! Matt 28:19
