[Uri’el-2012]

To speculate that someone may be "chosen" and yet God does not bring to them the means to hear the name of Jesus and believe in Him is sheer folly in light of all the testimony in Scripture (Acts 8:26ff)

My Messiah's name is not Jesus. that is a corruption of Greek to Latin to English.

The name given to the L-rd G-d who tabernacled among us is Yah'shua.

If do not know the L-rd's NAME how can you know Him?

How can you call upon His NAME to be saved?

b'shem Yah'shua

If one wishes to push their hobby horse issues, they are certainly free to do so in this forum.

However, in the infallible Word of God, a large portion of which was written in Greek to a largely Greek speaking audience, Paul and the other apostles had no problem identifying our Savior as Iesous. What you call a "corruption" is in reality part of the God-breathed Word. No phoney transliterations. No requiring Greek speakers to get all tongue twisted with His name.

God can speak Greek just as well as He can speak Hebrew or Aramaic.

If that is the reason for why Karaites don't know Jesus, it's a poor one.
