How does writing IJN stop you from saying in Jesus name out loud?

Let no one judge any lest he be judged. Nobody holy pass no body

aManFromMars: Funny thing is the Jewish rebel that was hung on a cross never bore the name JESUS.. there's no power in that name..

honestly, I try to respect the belief of others no matter the race,religion or geographical location. If u happily say u r an atheist or wateva sch of thought, I av no problem wt dt. But I am a Christian, I choose to remain a Christian, I av inner convictions supportive of me being a proud Christian. I wld appreciate if u stop acting so wild n respect our beliefs as Christians... Finally, I wldnt bother u wt sermons, I pray u meet good Christians that wld affect u positively

Why are so many people like you concerned about who judges who?

Are you condemned already?

Dont abbreviate the name jesus.. Its a diluted, declawed, demoted savior who is a symbolic representation for a kind of anemic, watered-down, unBiblical, culturally acceptable Jesus.

I think the abbreviated Jesus is what we produce when we try to change Jesus to fit into our world rather than change ourselves to fit into His. It’s a rejection of introspection and meaningful conversion. I’d add that this seemingly abbreviated jesus actually greatly undermines faith formation and the respect for Christianity in the wider culture

What does this epistle have to do with my initial post? I only noted that the Messiah wasn't named Jesus.

Ajibam: happy Sunday.. that's the truth bro

When did you become a female? Why are some Mods behaving like kids? You and Fynestboi better start behaving like mature peeps!

slap1: You claim to be an atheist. What then attracts you to a topic that has 'Jesus' in it?

To see the folly of christian folks. Its always fun reading their messages

Lol, how far nao? them don ban you ni?

Nuvally:

Nobody should insult this guy. Like I said earlier, we will keep praying for u. Don't die just yet

Prayer doesn't work. It's a waste of time

pastormustwac:
Lol, how far nao? them don ban you ni?

Lol, no o. I decided to drop the muskeeto moniker. I don suck blood tire. Na mars i base now.

What is so sacred about beliefs that warrants respect? Beliefs in my opinion should not be respected. They should be mocked and ridiculed.

there's nothing bad in it only if everybody knows wat it means....it could be written in full for the sake of those who dont know the meaning.

In my opinion, prayers are SPOKEN and not WRITTEN and POSTED to heaven. So its perhaps the duty of whosoever is reading or speaking to say 'IN JESUS NAME'

IDNOJCON well if you don't know it means in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth

You should not even say blood of Jesus when attacked - it is the name of Jesus you need to repell attacks. The blood is for forgiveness of sins.

sorry o but please don't come here and confuse others. You can use both the blood and you can use the name for repelling attacks. Any one you use, God will still hear your prayer as long as you have faith..they do not have limited or specific purposes. Stop misleading people.

i m guilty of this may GOD forgive me though i ve never sent IJN as a text message to anybody but when i m jotting down messages or prayer points of live programm i m compelled to use the acronyms.

Dear op, there is no big deal. most of us christians like to dwell on unnecessary and irrelevant things. Look at this scenerio now.. There are two brothers.
One loves God with all his heart, he obeys his commandments and is walking according to his will but when typing , he uses IJN.
Now on the other hand, this other brother ls the exact opposite.. He curses, he steals and he lies but when he types he uses 'in jesus' name'
Who do you think pleases God more?
If your spirit judges you when you do it, then stop it. But I don't see it as a big deal and the prayer doesn't lose effect just because I abbreviated IJN. And it doesn't change the fact that I love God.
My advise is please focus on more important things in your walk with God.

erad: Christianity and christians with their insatiable taste for irrelevancies. They leave the necessary things and start chasing after things that have only face value. Have those using IJN complained to you that its not working for them?? Run your race and live others to run theirs. God sent you to preach salvation (which I'm sure you've never done), not correct people's way of communicating... That's their business!

well said!!! 10 bottles of annointing oil for you! Don't mind all these religious fanatics!

I am with u on this. It's such a mentality as is displayed my several people that influences expressions like: I cover this/that with the blood of Jesus.
Morever calling one's name in a time of need indicates a preexisting familiarity.
It's more important to have a sustained relationship with Jesus Christ than being bothered by issues like @post.

May God help us all... :-)

u r very ryt!

@OP.. his name is not even JESUS in the first place.. this is what happens when you turn religion into a franchise.. all sorts of alien theories start springing up

Hi dear. Are u sure u aren't being mislead?

Generally abbreviations have gradually stolen the beauty of communication these days.
I find it utterly disturbing watching our younger generation slowly go down with this new style. I personally think this form of writing should be discouraged among young folks.
sometimes I find it very difficult to make out what some folks are trying to say when they send SMS or write on social media.
I think it's just sheer laziness

What are you trying to tell me . So when my text enters 160 words i should not abbv in Jesus name to IJN . Op u no do economics for skul abi

Jesus is watching you,He is the truth and light.
May God have mercy on you
