The contention surrounding the use of Hebrew names for Christ, referred to as Christos (G5547), is rooted in a belief that the English word Christ is of pagan origin, and thus, the Hebrew name Yahshua should be used instead. This teaching asserts that the names of the Savior are sacred only in the Hebrew language, and it is wrong to use English names for Him. However, this claim lacks scriptural support, as there is no command in the Bible that mandates the use of Hebrew names exclusively for Christ. The New Testament was originally written in Greek, inspired by the living Word, Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit, and the names and titles of Christ were inspired to be written in Greek, not Hebrew. Even quotations from the Old Testament in the New Testament, containing names or titles of God, were inspired by the Holy Spirit to be recorded in Greek. This demonstrates that the usage of names in languages other than Hebrew is consistent with divine inspiration. The argument that the New Testament might have been originally written in Hebrew and that Greek copies are erroneous lacks evidence, as all preserved original writings are in Greek, with no Hebrew copies existing. Therefore, the insistence on using only Hebrew names for Christ contradicts the inspired usage in the Scriptures.

God opened salvation to those of any human language He chose to call, enabling His chosen people to call on His name in any language of men, provided there is a new heart and a new spirit. The apostle Paul, in his first epistle to the Corinthians written in Greek, refers to those who are sanctified in Christos Iesous, as Christ Jesus is transliterated from the Greek, and mentions all who call on the name of Iesous Christos. When the angel appeared to Mary, he instructed her to call her son Iesous, a name not in Hebrew or Aramaic, differing from the names of God known to earlier heroes of faith. Through repentance, baptism, and the receipt of the Holy Spirit, a cleansing takes place, and a new heart is given, teaching the lips to speak in a way that reflects a new spiritual reality, allowing one to call on the name of the Lord in true worship, regardless of the language used.

The omnipotent God of the Bible emphasizes the importance of revering His name, and Jesus Christ, as part of the God Family, is central to this reverence. In the New Testament, Jesus instructs that we should pray to the Father in His name, highlighting the power and authority behind it. The name Christos, meaning Anointed or Christ, signifies His role as the Savior and Preserver, embodying divine attributes. Healings performed by God's ministers in the name of Jesus Christ demonstrate the sacredness of His name across languages. Furthermore, Jesus declares that many deceivers would come in His name, underscoring its significance and the need for genuine reverence rather than mere pronunciation. His prophecy and teachings emphasize that salvation and true worship are not based on how His name is pronounced, but on obedience and doing the will of the Father. Jesus Himself reveals and declares the name of the Father to His disciples, focusing on the character and reality behind the name rather than its sound or spelling.
