ישוע Ἰησοῦς Iesus ...Jesus

ישוע  Ἰησοῦς  Iesus ...Jesus

 John 19:19-20    " And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin."
Twelve years ago I heard that it was necessary to call the Lord by his Hebrew name( most groups do not agree on the spelling themselves), so I started speaking the Hebrew terms, not wanting to speak His name in vain. Deception had caught me. Thankfully He showed me the error.
God is not a respecter of language, which is an earthly thing. Even the Lord himself spoke Aramaic to his Father ( "Abba" "Eli Eli lema  sabachthani" )!
It is not the "proper" language that a person has to speak to know the Lord, but we must know the Lord Himself...
