Joseph or Mary nicknamed Jesus, Jesus. he may not have had a spiritual name either.

Pure BUNKUM, dear brother in Christ!

Revelations makes it very clear that Christ has a name, but only HE (and presumably, His Father) knows what it is.

Language will only become obsolete when human beings — made to be "social animals" from the get-go — no longer have any need to "communicate." With each other — or with God their Father.

Certainly (it seems to me), "I AM" is NOT a "nickname" for humans. The only claim that humans can make is that they "exist."

Humans only EXIST. They have no BEING in themselves — they have existence only by means of participation in BEING.

And that BEING is spelled: I AM. And such a designation can only belong/apply to the Source of Being, whose Name is spelled "I AM."

That is, God Himself.

Can we get clear about that?

Exactly. There is no ambiguity in the Names of God.

Hallowed be thy Name...

I am honored that one as yourself agrees with me...
to continue along these memes you and I have a name that will be revealed as well.. (as it is written)

SO then; pretty much everyone has nicknames given to them by their parents or devised by themselves..
language is indeed such a clumsy way of expressing yourself..

If I remember the bible correctly the God thing punished humans by giving them "languages"...
When punishments cease then why not language?...

I love talking to you....
(hold my beer and cigar).... ((( HUG )))
