THE BIBLE NAME GAME
« on: September 24, 2007, 09:23:21 AM »
In the bible days the meaning of a name was very important. Sometimes the bible itself informs the reader what a name means. Such renowned persons as Adam, Cain, Seth, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (and his 12 sons), Perez, Peleg and Jesus all have the meaning of their name explicitly given in the bible. Each of their names tells the individual story of why or how they were born. With this in mind lets see how many bible names we can post with their meaning. This will be fun and educational.  I will start out with:

Adam- earthy; red

Well I'll take the baton and offer my favorite name... the name that is above all names... the name that has all power, the name whose mention causes demons to tremble and knees to bow and tongues to confess:

JESUS, savior and messiah

Peter - Rock or Stone

John 1:42
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone

Natthew 16:18-19
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
