I don't fucking care about any attack as long as I never break any rule in calling my child what ever name I cherish

You probably can handle it, but it is your child that will bear the name and you will not be able to shield him from all the attacks.

Nigerians can be hypocritical.

We love the freedom that people experience in 3rd world countries but we criticize the are extremely judgmental of the lifestyle.

 Jesus is not just a name.

Exodus 20: 7  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Phillipians 2:9  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

 10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

 11  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
No wonder Naija is a religious country peopled by godless people. How about folks naming their child Emmanuel?

I don't feel its a sin I just think its something that shouldn't be done I mean the name should be respected... If someone starts it now The name will you lose its reputation N. B we pray in the name of JESUS

It's a gesture of RESPECT for our LORD JESUS CHRIST that we refuse to name ourselves JESUS....... Moreover, who among you can save your people from their sins?

Please don't. I'm not saying this out of fear but for the ignorance of the society we live in.
Names are only what they are; names but in our society certain things would earn you scorn for no reason but pure ignorance.

No, its not a sin. South Americans, Central Americans and spaniards bear the name Jesus. Example, Jesus Navas of man city.

No, but for the mentality of our people, don't.



exactly. I remember a cousin of mine during his child's naming ceremony wanted to christen his son after himself, for example Carey jnr. Everybody and his Uncle were totally against it saying naming him Junior means he will always be a junior to others in every position he finds himself throughout his life. my cousin named him after himself anyway but the Jnr title was dropped.
so why didn't they name him senior so he will be above others? Naija pple with dia thinking sef dey tire me

Jesus Ramires, Jesus Navas, Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda etc as long as you don't add Christ, there is no problem. Igbos bear the name Chukwu as surnames.

Re: Is There Any Sin In Naming A Child Jesus ? by FavoredGuy: 7:53pm On Sep 25, 2016
Several discriptive nomenclatures have already been on ground for Jesus long before His birth such as Emmanuel, Jesus, Prince (of peace) and so on. People can answer those names but the name CHRIST is specifically for Him as the Divine Saviour and it was not among the names given by the prohets. No one should try using the name on or for a mere mortal. Ur reactions plz...

Re: Is There Any Sin In Naming A Child Jesus ? by ehinorlive: 8:54pm On Sep 25, 2016
pls don't even try to name ur child Jesus becuase the name alone is been called everyday by so many people and what if ur son grows to always hear his name almost everyday and everywhere. imagine the trauma wen u as a father called Jesus, he or she will answer whether the call was really for he or not. I will advise u to name him Joshua becomes if ur child grows to become a christian he also shout his own name every morning and Sundays.
Re: Is There Any Sin In Naming A Child Jesus ? by Nobody: 8:58pm On Sep 25, 2016
