Is it important to use the true name of the Messiah?
How are we to understand this? What is important is not our correct pronunciation of the name, but rather our desire and intention to call Jesus – to call the person, not merely the name. The key is not our knowledge of Jesus, but our relationship with Jesus.“Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me.”
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
“If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”
“Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.”
Is that your native language, or are you fully fluent in that language?“Hashem melech, Hashem malach, Hashem yimlock, le olem vaed”
Respectfully opinion only with lots of ???However, a recent research* into the DNA of the blood found on the Shroud has identified a very unusual gene which indicates that the man who was buried therein was the product of a virgin birth.
How on earth would a virgin birth be reflected in a person’s genes? Especially given that birth is something that happens well after sperm and egg meet and so well after a person’s genes are fixed? Would the genes change if the mother lost her virginity in between conception and birth (thus rendering it no longer a virgin birth)?Ancient Jewish sources refer to Jesus as “Yeshu ben Pantera,” a name which stems from their belief that the biological father of Jesus was a Roman soldier whose name was “Pantera.” Some Christian theologians such as James Tabor also buy into this idea. Evidence supporting this theory has been found in Germany.

However, a recent research* into the DNA of the blood found on the Shroud has identified a very unusual gene which indicates that the man who was buried therein was the product of a virgin birth.
Therefore, the truth probably lies somewhere in between. Mary might have been in love with (but not “lover” of) a young Jewish man (Abdes) who had enlisted in the Roman army and taken the name, Tiberius Abdes Pantera. Her parents would not allow her to marry him, and when the noticed that she was in a family way, they assumed the worst and pawned her off to an older widowed carpenter.
*THE SHROUD OF TURIN, FIRST CENTURY AFTER CHRIST !, Fanti/Malfi, 2015
"…Let us see whether those who have blindly concocted these fables about the adultery of the Virgin with Panthera, and her rejection by the carpenter, did not invent these stories to overturn His miraculous conception by the Holy Ghost.
"For they could have falsified the history in a different manner, on account of its extremely miraculous character, and not have admitted, as it were against their will, that Jesus was born of no ordinary human marriage.
“It was to be expected, indeed, that those who would not believe the miraculous birth of Jesus would invent some falsehood. And their not doing this in a credible manner, but (their) preserving the fact that it was not by Joseph that the Virgin conceived Jesus, rendered the falsehood very palpable to those who can understand and detect such inventions.”
I suggest purchasing Fanti’s book. It’s pricey, but worth every penny. A 2nd edition is coming out soon.Respectfully opinion only with lots of ???
