Why was pharisee saul's name changed to paul, and what's the difference in the meanings of the two names

God had a reasoning for changing people names. Starting even in the old testament. He changed peoples names to something that meant something huge! For instance Sarai to Sarah, Abram to Abraham, Simon (His disciple) to Peter, and of course Saul to Paul. (and others) God did huge life changes in each of thier lives before changing thier names.

This is where to find some of the name changes:

Sarah - Genesis 17:15

Abraham - Genesis 17:5-8

Peter - Matthew 16:15-19

Paul - Acts 13:1-4 prefaces then 13:9 this is where his name changed.

I am not 100% sure of the differant meanings but I do know that every time God gave each of these people a task of some sort, or a promise, or made a covenant with them he changed thier name. I think that is so cool!

Why was pharisee saul's name changed to paul, and what's the difference in the meanings of the two names
I know that God changed Abram to Abraham (Genesis 17:5), Sarai to Sarah (Genesis 17:15), Jacob to Israel (Genesis 35:10), and Simon or Simon Peter, son of John, to Cephas (John 1:42). But please cite to me the Bible verse wherein God Himself changed the name of Saul of Tarsus to Paul. Report Abuse

Reply:Good Question, but I don't know.
Reply:The idea was when God changed someone's name a big change had happened in their life and they were not the same person. It doesn't matter what Saul's name was changed to, what matters that it was changed to show that something significant had taken place in his life.
Reply:Good evening to you, too!

Saul was a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin (Philippians 3:5). He was from Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, Asia Minor (Acts 31:39). He was a Pharisee and persecuted the sect, the Way, until he was blinded by light brighter than the sun on his way to Damascus (Acts chapter 9). This was the turning point in his life from being a persecutor to an advocate.

Did you know that Paul is the Roman name of Saul? Both refer to the same person but one is his Hebrew name and the other, his Roman name. When he became an advocate of Jesus, in all of his letters, he used his Latin or Roman name Paul. He used this name when he preached the good news about Jesus Christ to non-Jews. He used his privilege of Roman citizenship for his own protection when he was persecuted as a Christian.
Reply:I do not know the answer to this question, sorry. I just wanted to comment that you ask some great questions. I often learn things based on your questions and the answers to them. Thanks.
Reply:Pharisee means grade A men and paul is a name that cannot define the soul.The two do not match even though one is the progeny.
Reply:It has change because the new generation no longer need a name of special god name, because its only make this person become so arrogant at the end become a monster?

That is why using special gods name can cause only chaos and more death because human kill god that is why the last test is if he is a god then he shall not bleed to death and will not even die? That is why Jesus claiming son of god is not popular at time to because many super power government will slay Jesus to death. Claiming a son of god means all humanity shall only pray to him and so on. That means loosing power and wealth and people for the government?

They are called homographs. homonyms sound the same like BLEW and BLUE, but homographs LOOK the same as well as sounding the same. I'm sorry I cannot think of any examples at the moment.

What's the name and the supposed hidden meanings of all the paintings mentioned in the Da Vinci Code?

In the movie? That Mary Magdalene was the wife, of the Messiah, and that they had a daughter- which is part of the fictional message of the story. "The eye sees what the mind wants it too", as said by the real villian. It's pure fiction, but I think the theory in it, is possible.

Name meanings...what does 'Brittany' and 'Lynn' Mean?

I have to do this assignment and we have to do the meanings of names of the people we interviewed...but the only thing I can find for 'Brittany' is that it's from France or something...I need like the adjectives or something...

Name meanings...what does 'Brittany' and 'Lynn' Mean?
One of the problems you face is that many modern names (such as Brittany) are used simply because people (parents,mostly) think they are distinctive and sound cool. The older first names which were Anglicized (such as John, James, Andrew, Peter) have meanings that are rooted in their original language.

"Brittany" comes from the name of a region of France, as you know. One online source I checked says that it is so-called for the particular language of the area, "Armorican" or "Armoric", meaning "before the sea". I'd think it's referring to the magnificent coastline of Brittany.

Are last names included? If so, there are lots of possibilities.

EDIT: "Lynn" comes from the Irish name "Flynn" and means "ruddy complexion". The site mentioned that the earlier form of the name may come from Gaelic for "lake", "pool", or "waterfall". Lynn is also a diminutive of "Linda" which means "pretty" in Spanish and Portuguese.

Hope that helps.
Reply:The name is Britney Brittany is a region in France

What are the greek and latin translations and meanings of my name, Kohleen?

http://www.behindthename.com/php/search....

So you would rather use the latin world for "girl", which is "puella" or "puera". I have to say, though, that in irish this word could have a slightly different meaning compared to latin. And it's difficult to translate names, especially if you want to translate a new name to an older language. In modern greek, it would be "kopela(魏慰蟺苇位伪)", "koritsi(魏慰蟻委蟿蟽喂)", and in ancient greek it would be something like "kori(魏蠈蟻畏)". But I suggest using the same name transcribed in foreign characters. In the case of Greek, "螝慰位委谓" or "K伪位委谓", depending on pronunciation.

What are the greek and latin translations and meanings of my name, Kohleen?
The female name Kohleen derives from the Greek name Kolina. I don't know if there is a Latin equivalent, but if there were it would almost certainly be spelled Collina - but that means 'situated on a hill' in Latin (adjective, fem. sing. nominative.)

From Bombay to Mumbai . Why India changed it ? And what are the meanings of the two names ?

The appellation Mumbai is an eponym, etymologically derived from Mumba — the name of the Hindu goddess Mumbadevi, and Aai — mother in Marathi. In the 16th century, the Portuguese named the area Bom Bahia (Good Bay), later corrupted to Bomaím or Bombaim, by which it is still known in Portuguese. After the British gained possession, it was anglicised to Bombay. The name was officially changed to Mumbai in 1995, but “Bombay” is still used by the popular media and by many of the city's inhabitants and famous institutions. The reason for the name change appears to have been a political move by Indian nationalists.

From Bombay to Mumbai . Why India changed it ? And what are the meanings of the two names ?
When did the city's name change to Mumbai?

The city was earlier called Bombay. The name was changed by an act of the Indian parliament in 1997. The reason for this change was that in two of the local languages, Marathi and Gujarati, the city has long been called Mumbai. It is believed that the name comes from the name of one of the old Koli goddesses, Mumba Devi, a temple to whom now stands in Bhuleshwar.

Why was it ever called Bombay?

By a historical accident. There was no city on these seven islands before the 18th century. The nearest city was Thane. It has a long history and was mentioned by many travellers, including Ibn Batuta. The seven islands held many villages with different names, some of which survive in the names of areas in the city: Girgaum and Worli to name just two. The British established a port settlement near the harbour in the late 17th century. This eventually grew and engulfed all the other villages. The name Bombay may have got attached to the British settlement as an English corruption of the Portuguese description of the harbour, "Bom Bahia", meaning good bay.

What would you have liked it to be called?

That's not hard. If the city didn't have a name already, I would have called it "Pydhonie" (meaning foot wash), after a crowded corner of south Mumbai. That place name comes from a long lost creek which allowed tidal waters to wash into a dusty square where no tide has been in the last couple of centuries. But I think it is an apt name for a city which has historically called to wanderers to settle down and do business: the British, the Gujaratis (including the Parsis and the Bohras) and Marwaris, the Iranis, Baghdadi Jews and Armenians, the Tamils, Malayalees and Konkanis, and more recently the Biharis, UP-wallahs and Bengalis.

The name Beathny and the Biblical meanings behind it.

Hiya guys i just wanted some info about the name Bethany-i really like it but i heard the meaning of it is "House of unripe figs" or a place of figs.So Biblically what does this mean?Is it a good name for a child or not?

Please use scripture if you can to back your answers wherever possible.I think the meaning of names is quite important.

Thankyou in advance xSista.Sx

The name Beathny and the Biblical meanings behind it.
I can't back my answer with scripture, but I can back it with personal experience: My name is Bethany, and if you're worried about your baby having a common name, then Bethany is a good one to choose. It's not weird or trendy, but I was always the only one in my class! And I get loads of complements on it, too.
Reply:It's actually the name of a City and it does mean Place of Figs. Probably because a lot of figs grew there. I don't have a specific Bible verse, but it's mentioned in the New Testament, I would look in Matthew chapter 1 or 2.

*edit* I did a search Matthew 21:17, Matthew 26:6, Mark 11:1 those are just a few verses where Bethany is mentioned.
Reply:there are several places Bethany is mentioned in the bible.

Bethany visited by Christ Matthew 21 verse 17

Bethany the home of Lazarus,Mary and Martha John 11 verse1

Bethany Jesus entertained by Simon the leper Mark 14 verse3

Bethany Lazarus raised at John 11 verse 1

Bethany Christ ascended at Luke 24 verse 50

Bethany is a beautiful name for a child.i knew a couple who were very religious and they named their second daughter Bethany because it was a place of such importance to Christ.

good luck.
