Honor to His Name

On a forum such as SI, where the moderators are most zealous of the pursuit of holiness, and where the saints are most knowledgeable in doctrine, I seemed to have noticed something missing. After reading the book by Sir Robert Anderson, "The Honor of His Name," I feel that it's perhaps pleasing to our Lord, to remind ourselves, as 21ST century saints, to utter the name of Jesus Christ by His only rightful title, the Lord Jesus Christ or the Lord Jesus.

In the churches following Christendom, man and woman demonstrate great reverence to their beloved saints, saints who perhaps, carried to their own names with the titles such as Reverend, Elder, Deacon, Pastor, Doctor and so on; not to mention with a great deal more titles in Roman Catholicism. Whether these titles are self-imposed, or bestowed upon them by religious oraganizations or seminaries, each of them will answer to God for carrying such titles for themselves, someday. I refrain to be the judge.

However, when we examine Scripture, the Lord Jesus was addressed while He was on earth as Master, Lord, or Rabbi, even though His rightful title ought to have been King. Further down in the New Testament, we see that The Lord's disciples addressed Him as The Lord, and when we read closer, we notice that Paul addressed Him as the Lord Jesus Christ in almost all instances. Most times when we see The Lord Jesus' name mentioned without the rightful title are when the Holy Spirit Himself writing about Christ in His holy words. It feels to me that only the Holy Spirit has the sole right to address the second Person of the Trinity without the proper title.

Moreover, I find it all too often in our modern day Christian society, that saints would flatter their leaders with titles of all sorts, but when they mention our Lord Jesus, they would be all too comfortable to address Him by just "Jesus". For example, some churches require laymen to address their preachers or pastors by either Reverend or Pastor, but never mind about the title of The Lord. Or one would say, "Dr./Reverend xyz said......and then Jesus said", or one would hear some elders quoting words from Reverend so and so, but the Lord Jesus remains, only, just Jesus.

I hope that I will not be judged by my brethren here on SI to be too critical or judgmental, I've been thinking and praying about this for a couple of months now, how wonderful it would be to see the saints here reverencing Christ with His rightful title, The Lord Jesus Christ, just as his disciples and the apostles did.

Holiness without reverence to His Name just doesn't seem fit.

Lastly, Robert Anderson's "The Honor of His Name," can be read at http://www.newble.co.uk/anderson/honour/prefchap1.html

Let not my words be a criticism but a sincere exhortation to you, for my name is nothing, I am nothing, let His name be properly honored and uttered, Christ is Everything.

I hear this theme raised from time to time and it always puzzles me. If you have an computer Bible programme please copy these references into it..

Acts 1:1,11,16; 2:32; 4:2,13,18,27,30; 5:30; 7:55; 8:35; 13:33; 17:7,18; 19:15; 28:23; Rom 3:26; 2Cor 4:11; Eph 4:21; Phil 2:10; 1Th 1:10; 4:14; Heb 2:9; 4:14; 6:20; 7:22; 10:19; 12:2,24; 13:12; 1John 4:15; 5:5; Rev 14:12; 17:6; 19:10; 22:16

They are instances of the name of 'Jesus' being used without the additional titles of Lord or Christ. Does Anderson address this?

As I read through your post, a couple of thoughts were coming to my mind. This may seem off the wall, but a scripture, "familiarity breeds contempt", which I understand that to mean that it's possible to become too lacks in our comfortableness with one another. The other thought which came to my mind is this: In our society today there is this hidden message being broadcast that nobody is better than you. But, the scripture says that no man should think more highly of himself than he ought. But...let each consider others better than themselves. There really has been this growing pride in our modern society that has infiltrated the Church. Love, Dian.

Having been raised Catholic, I have a rich heritage in "reverence" for God and His presence in my life. I have long found this sorely lacking among modern protestants, even some ancient ones.
Can you imagine being around the "Holy of Holies" back in the desert? Well, I'm sure you can understand the "awe" they must have felt. What happened? We are the "Holy of Holies". Where is the reverence? Where is the awe? Where is the respect for other "Holies" and where is the respect for ourselves?
You can swell with pride if you like. You can scream grace from the housetops. But if you are honest, you know what I'm saying is true. I do believe this is what the originator of this post is after.

Humbly before Him,

"O"

Dear Ron,

If you have time, please do read R.Anderson's little booklet. He did a much better job than what I tried to say. My English is so bad that I would only mislead you further. (I asked my daughter to edit the original post for me with its grammar :) )

But let me try, 'Jesus' was used, in almost all instances where the Holy Spirit and the Disciples were describing His movements or words conducted while He was on earth. Even so, in the Pauline epistles, one can see, Paul addressed Him as The Lord Jesus Christ.

I came across a Greek Scholar's writing ,the difference between Jesus Christ and Christ Jesus is, the former a name used before crucification, a sort of of 'accursed name', as He was a man to be hung, while the latter, is the name post resurrection.

Of course, one can argue over this to The Lord's return, for me, it is more so a matter of personal conviction on the one hand, and love and reverence for our Lord on the other.

When an old saint corrected me on this years ago, I was not happy or comfortable at all, I even saw that siant as prideful, but then it just grew and grew on me, till I studied R.A.' booklet, I understood, and from that point on, not only do I not want to eliminate His title, but dont dare.

Ormly noticed and apparently understood in that instance where demons called Him 'jesus' in one of the Gospel Books. THanks for bringing it out.

There's a whole study of this issue also by EWBullinger in one of his articles, very interesting. He teaches the differences between the usages of Jesus, Jesus Christ, Christ Jesus, ...and also the many differet names of Jehovah, such as Eli, Jahwai, Adonai, ......

Freedom of spirit, at large, if it's of the Holy Spirit, He will always instruct us with the Scripture pertaining everything. But if it's of other spirits, that's how we hear " yo, bro, big guy, big man......." everywhere these days.

If you have time, please do read R.Anderson's little booklet. He did a much better job than what I tried to say. My English is so bad that I would only mislead you further. (

I do believe that there is a significance in the order of Christ Jesus and Jesus Christ. Unfortunately this distinction is often obscurred in my KJV. E W Bullinger has some good points but everything he wrote is so convoluted that it is easy to become 'dead right'; right and dead at the same time.

I delight in each each truth of the phrase "Christ Jesus our Lord" but we ought not to frighten people off from calling upon the name of the Lord; Jesus. I just want to be sure we don't cut folk off from the simplicity that is in Christ. Suppliants to great monarchs would couch their words in whole lists of titles... Our Lord said when ye pray say 'Our Father...' That is sublime in its simplicity and is not dishonouring to the King of the Universe.

Ron,

Your points taken totally, I posted this with much reluctance and had prayed over this for a long time.

God's own people will never be 'run-off' by His honor, ever, but be drawn to Him rather. Besides, should we safeguard man's feelings or God's honor?

Or, is our Lord and Savior of the gospel unfit to be called the Lord Jesus when the preacher preaches It. Soteriologically reckoning, is He the Lord or not?

That is not to say, when someone preaches or tells the testimonies of the Lord as while He was on earth, in a reverantial way, in accordance to Scripture, or even citing the texts word for word as the Holy Spirit wrote, from the pulpit to the writings, is not offensive. Truly, you find passages after passages in Scripture, Jesus, in His 'humbled' state on earth, was used very clearly.

This thread is mainly posted to the true believers who love God, and perhaps, as Orm mentioned, how he was perhaps influenced by the prideful Christendom followers/crowd amongst our seminaries and in the church buildings, to bring those saints back from the casualness with His title.

EW Bullinger, like all of us, was just a mere mortal, his words, my words, all the saints' words put together, can be nothing but convolution(as you said), and that's just not him, all of us, often times, too often indeed. And any true man of God will always remind us that we must not take their words too seriously. God forbid that this is about EWB, RA, or especially me, a little nobody here. :} ( I mean it, I reckon how knowledgeable you are Ron, praise God)

The conviction of the Holy Spirit in any matter, be it of ecclesiological or eschatological, or pneumatological, (pardon all these unnesscessary but fancy theoological terms :( ) plain spiritual must be carried by the validation of the Holy Spirit Himself, it doesn't even matter what Tozer says, Finney says, Watson says, no, not in a million years if without God's validation and the Holy Spirit's conviction, they would all have been long forgotten. I'm no fool here to remotely even think that my posts would do any good on their own, I posted them only out of a heart of unfeigned love for the Lord. Even this love, if not via prayers, can become a snare toyed by satan.

As I said, when this old saint shared this issue with me years back, I was very offended, but I did not run off , I stuck in there, and studied for myself, "where, where does the Scripture say this or that,....how arrogant of him to tell me that I have to utter the Lord Jesus whenever I address Him, how legalistic of him", you know, that sort of prideful attitude in my own soul at that time.

This truly is an issue of personal conviction, and must not become an offense to any of you. What or how you address Christ, truly, is your own business. :)

In fact, I really shouldn't have the need to bring out scholars like EWB or RA, but since we live in a time where most often that 'lay' saints' words carry no weight, that is, without the 'fame or status' effect. In this, I guess I erred too by bringing these scholars in, instead of trusting the Scripture alone.

Orm had some better points and testimonies than mine, please read back, but even so, his points, my points, shouldnot have much inference but references, really, God's conviction through His Word only can and has to be all sufficient.

As you said on the other thread, what did you call that ? "Schlum, or Schlim", I thought that was funny. It's really true. Our words have zero weight, but only when God sees fit.

"as for me and my House...."
here, as for me personally, I dare not utter Him without His title, and hasn't been for a long time. Feel free to call me prideful, legalistic, judgmental, that's all too fine.....remember, I'm nobody, HE is ALL, and must be honored, HIS WAY !

We have fancy titles for man, fancy seminaries, fancy church buildings, fancy theologies , fancy book-binders on Bible covers, why leave out the [b]rightful[/b] title to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

( I mean it, I reckon how knowledgeable you are Ron, praise God)

May be by leaving the Lord out, we see so many different Jesuses. Since the true Christian Evangelicals utter not His proper name while they preach just like the false onee do. Our salvation is solely based on both the LORD AND SAVIOR, not just Savior alone, isn't it so?

Also, this could well be the root of all evangelical errors. An error seeped in unaware when even the early seminaries produced their students/professors/preachers/teachers in their books and from their pulpits in leaving out The Lord's title. The Lord Jesus Christ.

These are the verses I extracted from post-Ascension books. The Author of the Bible told us (Gentile Ekklesia, Church) to follow Paul, and just by seeing how Luke and Paul, the apostles utter His name in every verse below.

May God speak, from Acts to Revelation,[b] EVERY SINGLE VERSE[/b], the Lord aligns with Jesus, and I remain silent. To start off with one from Romans pertaining to salvation:

Romans 10:9-10
[b]9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the [i]Lord Jesus[i/], and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.[/b]

Ormly,
By other "Holies", I meant other saints. The Holy Of Holies was not God, but where God dwelt to meet with man. Does not this apply now to our own bodies, His Temple or dwelling place.
I agree, you should be careful about what you take into your spirit. I'm glad someone else realizes this as well. God bless you.

Humbly immersed in His Spirit,

"O"
