Mi nombre es Jesús / My name is Jesus: Descúbreme a través de mis nombres (Descubreme Libro, 1)
Mi nombre es Jesús
Hola...Mi nombre es Jesús. Hay muchas formas de aprender sobre mí. Puedes estudiar mi vida o mis milagros o mis sermones o la manera en que le hablo a la gente. Puedes ver mi deidad entera en lo que dije y también puedes ver toda mi humanidad en los evangelios.
Pero quiero contarte sobre todos los nombres, cargos, títulos y descripciones que hay de mí en la Escritura. Cada uno te da un vistazo de quién soy y lo que hago. Cuando las juntas, empiezas a entender quién soy yo, el Hijo de Dios.
¿Por qué hay tantos nombres sobre mí? Porque yo soy Dios. Muchos nombres reflejan mis distintas cualidades, incluso cuando hay muchas cosas sobre mí que tú nunca conocerás. Recuerda, como Dios, yo soy eterno... omnisciente... omnipresente... y omnipotente. Estas son cualidades que los humanos no pueden comprender... medir... ni entender completamente.
No puedes conocerme totalmente porque no tienes una mente divina para saberlo todo. Solo el Padre y el Espíritu Santo me conocen por completo y entienden cada aspecto de mi vida.
Existen más de 700 nombres que hacen referencia a mí en la Escritura. Algunos de esos nombres me los di yo, algunos otros me los dio el Padre o el Espíritu Santo. Y hasta otros nombres me los dieron los humanos que hablaron bajo inspiración divina o bajo la dirección del Padre o del Espíritu Santo. Hablaron para que la gente pudiera saber cosas de mí que antes ean desconocidas.
Hello . . . My name is Jesus. There are many ways to learn about Me. You can study how I lived, or My miracles, or My sermons, or the way I talk to people. You can see My full deity in the things I said, and you can also see my full humanity in the gospels.
But I want to tell you about all My names, offices, titles, and pictures of Me in scripture. Each one gives a glimpse of who I am and what I do. When you put all of them together, you begin to grasp who I, the Son of God, am.
Why are there so many names about Me? Because I am God. My many names reflect My many qualities, even then there are many things about Me you will never know. Remember, as God I am eternal . . . omniscient . . . omnipresent . . . and omnipotent. These are qualities that humans can’t comprehend . . . measure . . . or fully understand.
You can never completely know Me because you don’t have a divine mind to know all things. Only the Father and the Holy Spirit know Me completely and understand every aspect of My life.
There are over 700 names-references to Me in scripture. Some of these are names I gave Myself, some are names given to Me by the Father, or the Holy Spirit. Other names are given to Me by humans who spoke under divine inspiration and/or direction by the Father or Holy Spirit. They spoke so people would know things about Me that were previously unknown.

not my cup of tea
The book is written as if Jesus is the author and He is speaking to us. I couldn’t get past it. Is there a claim of divine inspiration in every word? Is the author (who wasn’t actually Jesus) saying that if I disagree with him I am disagreeing with Jesus? Its a shame.

Elmer Towns' writing style is a little dry for me but I always learn a lot!
