ArchivesRe: Why does one name have so many meanings?
in reply to a message by Reebee
YES, BOTH MEANINGS ARE CORRECT. A NAME HAS MANY DIFFERENT MEANINGS AND ALL ARE AN INSIGHT INTO THE CHARACTER OF THE PERSON WHO HOLDS IT, BOTH YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. GOD IS THE ONE WHO ASSIGNS MANKIND OUR NAMES AND THEY DO HAVE A PROPHETIC MEANING. DEPENDING ON WHETHER WE WILL CHOOSE TO OBEY AND FOLLOW THE LORD OUR NAMES WILL TAKE ON A CLEARER AND RICHER MEANING TO US.
I AM CALLED BY DIFFERENT NAMES BY DIFFERENT PEOPLES I MAY BE WITH OR AROUND, IT DEPENDS ON THE LANGUAGE.
YOUR HANDLE IS 'REEBEE ' THAT EVEN IS AN INSIGHT ABOUT YOURSELF. IT IS A TITLE OF REFERENCE AND RESPECT IN SOME RELIGIOUS JEWISH CIRCLES WE MIGHT CALL A RESPECTED HUMAN TEACHER OF OUR CULTURE AND TRADITIONS - "REBE" OR "RABBI".
I AM ASSUMING YOUR NAME IS REBECCA. A LITERAL MEANING IS "THE TORAH (TEACHING/INSTRUCTION) OF GOD GIVES WISDOM" AND IT ALSO MEANS "THE WISDOM OF MAN BRINGS PRIDE." IN GOD'S BOOK OF PROVERBS HE TEACHES US THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN HIS WISDOM (THE SUMMATION OF ALL KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING) AND KNOWLEDGE AND THE SOLE WISDOM (WHAT WE CAN LEARN, EXPERIENCE AND DISCOVER ALL BY AND THROUGH OURSELVES)OF MAN.
THE HORSE IS ONE SYMBOL OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE, THE FIGURE OF PEGASUS OF RELIGIOUS WISDOM. A SYMBOL OF WISDOM BY FAITH IS ETERNAL LIGHTS, FLAMES AND HEAT.
NAMES HAVE SO MANY MEANINGS BECAUSE HUMAN LANGUAGE IS TOTALLY INADEQUATE TO GIVE ANY FULL KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO ONE PERSON, THAT IS WHY GOD IS THE WORD AND HE HAS SPOKEN EVERYTHING INTO EXISTANCE AND BRINGS EVERY SINGLE SYLABLE, CONSANT, NAME AND SOUND INTO ITS OWN FRUITION. HE HAS DETERMINED BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE THAT ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE HIS DEAR CHILDREN, BUT HE LEAVES THAT CHOICE UP TO US. OUR NAMES ARE BUT ONE OF HIS GOOD TOOLS OF HIS TRADE AND PURCHASE. WE CANNOT LIVE UP TO OUR OWN PROPHECY BUT, IN JESUS THE MESSIAH GOD BRINGS US INTO HIS TOTAL FULFILLMENT AND FRUITION IF ONLY WE WILL BELIEVE HIS WORDS, TRUST HIS NAME AND PUT OUR FAITH CHOICE IN HIMSELF - YESHUA/JESUS - ALONE.

I am Jewish and always will be and I do believe that Jesus is God The Messiah ( not that that fact has anything to do with this space ). And I am not considered by my family in Mashiach to be a Messianic Jew. Even though I am and was raised very orthodox in my religion, because of my faith I have adapted myself to God's Law and Word and so my own Jewish religion is quite non-traditional in most groups. Just to set the record straight; please do not lump people all in one boat with broad generalizations - thank you.
In Jewish tradition what is commonly seen spelled in English Rebecca does have a common traditional meaning and it agrees with God's Word and what He says it means too.

Well, since people often ask me if Jews believe in Jesus, I have to precise that they don't. In fact that's the main difference between a Jew and a Christian. If you believe in Jesus *Christ* then you are a *Christian*.

To *be* precise, Miss Claire, I ascertain that when you here use the term "Jew" you are of course actually referring to an 'adherent of Judaism'. There are generally two modern connotations implied by this name, "Jew": one being religious, a person adhering to the religion Jüdāism; the other being ethnic, a descent of the defunct nation Jüdæa (a Hebrew individual). I’ve noticed that when people speak of those who are 'Jewish', this differential can tend to become *imprecise*. Here’s a confusing statement: Jesus was a Jew though he wasn’t Jewish. To clarify, when in human form Jesus was a Jew ethnically, and while he did adhere to what is written in haTanakh he was nonetheless not a Jew religiously-- that is to say, an adherent of Judaism.

I remember having read that in the early days it was not clear whether Christianity was a Judaic sect, or a separate religion. In fact wasn't it Paul who claimed contra Peter that one did not have to obey the Jewish dietary etc. customs to be a Christian.
Was Jesus any less Jewish than the leaders of other messianic sects from that period? Did he himself (Since some believe he was totally human and totally divine simultaneously, I hesitate in saying `human form') believe that he was not Jewish?
This is off-topic already ...
