I saw several "PRAY. GOD LISTENS.". billboards in Tn. Those were the three I expected .
Why doesn't it say "Jesus is Lord?". I thought Jesus is the power name. Not Christ, The Christ, etc. That's a title, right?
Jesus Christ. So Jesus and Christ refer to one and the same, his first and last name.
I know that, but does "Christ" carry the same weight, is my point. Splitting hairs, but I came out of a cult that had no problem saying Christ, or Jesus Christ, but balked at just "Jesus.". It's a massive mind and spirit change to go from believing, to A Believer. I think the power name is Jesus. Anyway, I haven't read the book, and would love to see the billboards in my area, even as a sign that someone has put a stake in the ground!
I take each name with equal and heavy weighting. There may be more to it, I am not the most well versed in that nuance, and some branches of Christian religion may differentiate this more than others. Not an argument I would want to pursue with my brethren, as long as we believe Jesus Christ is the son of God and he was risen from the dead, we're good.
