      Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?

      The Bible is not the just the only history, science, philosophy, literature, and math book you will ever need -- it is also the only baby-names book you will ever need.

      I named my children Jedidiah, Matthias, Elijah, Rebekah, and Josias.

        It's good for the Land of Jesus that you are so prolific. But Jedidiah, Matthias, Elijah, Rebekah, and Josias are Joowish names! And Joos crucified our Lord!

          Hi Mister Narrowpathy. It seems that we have somewhat opposing user names.

          Of course my real first name is different - I'm actually called Bezaleel, but my many friends call me Beza.

          Psalm 81:10
          I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
          Psalm 81:10:
          I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
          open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

            to call a child Rebekah, Zack or any other Jooish name is equal to calling her/him Satan-lover or Jesus-hater!

              Yeah! You ever hear that old Johnny Cash song, Were you there when they Crucified our Lord?

              Got The Carter Family or somebody howling in the backround; it's really neat.

              Chorus goes something like: Oooooh-OOH! OOOOOOOOH-oh-oh! Sometimes, makes me want to tremble.....

              Were you there when they Crucified our Lord?

                  I'm having trouble following your so-called "logic", friend. The Bible is a Christian book, and those are Christian names.

                    That reminds me of this:

                    Have you heard the Good News? There are no gods, there is no hell, and the only sin is being mean to other people.

                    There are no ghosts, pixies, hobgoblins, angels, leprechauns, gods, goddesses, demons, minotaurs, devils, witches, warlocks, dragons, or spirits.

                    Prayer, magic spells, and doing nothing accomplish exactly the same thing.

                      It is good, I think, to use Biblical names. But it is not good to use Jewish spellings. Rebekah is properly spelled Rebecca, as in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Ick and Iggy are OK, but Ichariah is kind of iffy. Jeremy is good; Jeremiah was a bullfrog. A girl named Hymeneus is a terrible temptation to sinful boys; better just to call the baby girl Hulga or Mulge or something. Likewise, to call a boy Dodo (Bible language for "his uncle") would just be cruel. And Uzzah sound too much like a Brit cheering a bally cricketeer.

                      All that said, if a father walks in grace with the Lord then his heart will guide him truly in selecting the name of his offspring.

                      Personally, at first I wanted to name our daughter Zuzims (doorposts; splendor, beauty) but decided on Bethany instead.

                        Don't be a fool. Christians had those names first. Giving up on good Biblical names just because Christ-killers try to steal them would be like giving up on Bobby-Joe's robes just because some racists wear them.

                        Did I hear someone say then came the Holy One, blessed be He, and slew the angel of death, that killed the shohet that slaughtered the ox that drank the water that quenched the fire that burned the stick that beat the dog that bit the cat that ate the goat my father bought for two zuzim?

                        What? No? No? Sorry, don't know what came over me then.
                        O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



                        God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

                          Personally I like uniquely Amrican names like my husband's-Billy-Bob.

                          Most New Testament names are fine but the Old Testament names generally belong to people who look like this.
