| Extra-Biblical Names in the Jesus Calling Series.pdf |
In the Jesus Calling series (for adults), Sarah Young’s “Jesus” refers to himself with hundreds of different names, titles, and descriptors, using variations on common biblical names such as Christ, Creator, God, Helper, King, Lamb, Lord, Redeemer, Rock, Savior, and Shepherd. However, he completely avoids other familiar names and titles:
|
Advocate
High Priest Jesus Christ |
Jesus of Nazareth
Mediator Servant |
Son of David
Son of God Son of Man |
Instead, he opts for creative names that are not in the Bible but can be found in mythology, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Theosophy, New Thought, New Age, psychic literature, and modern culture:
|
Big Brother
Boss Catcher Center co-participant Compassionate One Controller of the universe Director divine Artist eternal Lover Focus forever-Lover Goal |

Infinite Intelligence
(Spiritualism, Hinduism, New Thought)
|
We bow in silent adoration, and worship the infinite Intelligence which we behold in all of His works. 15
By this we express our belief in a supreme Impersonal Power, everywhere present, manifesting as life . . . called by some, God, by others, Spirit and by Spiritualists, Infinite Intelligence. 16 Many who practice Eastern traditions, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism, use chants as an instrumental part of their daily spiritual work . . . One of the more potent mantras and chants is Om Namah Shivaya . . . Although it lacks a literal meaning, it translates roughly to, “Infinite wisdom, infinite intelligence, I bow to the God within myself.” 17 New Thought holds that Infinite Intelligence, or God, is everywhere . . . human selfhood is divine, divine thought is a force for good, sickness originates in the mind, and “right thinking” has a healing effect. 18 15. Spiritualism – Henry Wagner, “The Religion of Nature,” The Mountain Pine, Vol.1 No. 1, 1907, p. 82. Wagner was a spiritualist and a member of the occult society, the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, http://www.iapsop.com/archive/materials/mountain_pine/

Bow your mind and heart before My infinite intelligence, and worship Me--the mysterious, majestic, holy One who suffered and died for you. (JT p. 264)
Come to Me with humility in your heart, bowing before My infinite intelligence. (JA Mar 02) This inspires you to worship Me--bowing before My infinite intelligence and limitless Power. (JL p. 206) You train your mind to trust My Sovereign ways with you--bowing before My mysterious, infinite intelligence. (JT p. 218) Then, subordinate your finite mind to My infinite intelligence and sovereign ways. (JT p. 46) |

Ultimate Reality
(Hinduism, Buddhism, Theosophy)

In Hindu philosophy, Brahman (ब्रह्म) is the material, efficient, formal and final cause of all that exists and the highest Universal Principle, the Ultimate Reality in the universe. 36
Zen Buddhism teaches that all human beings have the Buddha-nature . . . but the Buddha-nature has been clouded by ignorance. To overcome this ignorance, Zen rejects the study of scriptures, religious rites . . . in favor of meditation leading to a sudden breakthrough of insight and awareness of ultimate reality. 37 Theosophy is philosophically monistic. It maintains the existence of a single ultimate reality, which in itself is absolute-- impersonal, unknowable, and indescribable. 38 36. Hinduism – “Brahman,” Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman
37. Buddhism – “Zen,” ReligionFacts, http://www.religionfacts.com/zen 38. Theosophy – “Theosophy,” Theosopedia, http://www.theosophy.ph/encyclo/index.php?title=Theosophy |
