Grace, and i'm sure if people did name their daughter Grace they aren't thinking about naming their daughter after a fertility goddess
Dr. Michael Brown, a Jewish-Christian pastor and Hebrew scholar, emphatically denies that “Yahshua” was the Hebrew name of Jesus:(CLV) Isa 43:11
I, I am Yahweh, And there is no Saviour apart from Me.
Yah is the hyphenated expression of YHWH.
(CLV) Ps 106:48
Blessed| be Yahweh, Elohim of Israel, From the eon and until the eon. +Then all the people will say, Amen. Praise Yah!
Hallelu YAH!
Shua is the Hebrew word for save.
Mt 1:21
Now she shall be bringing forth a Son, and you shall be calling His name Yahshua, for He' (Yah) shall be saving (Shua) His people from their sins."
(CLV) Jn 5:43
I have come in the name of My Father, and you are not getting Me. If another should be coming in his own name, him you will get.
(CLV) Ac 4:12
And there is no salvation in any other one, for neither is there any other name, given under heaven among men, in which we must be saved."
Yah shua!
For a Jew that is correct. For a Gentile who is not under the law, it is anything that is not of faith.Sin is transgression of the law.
Paganism is wrong. Sure, he might be right when he boasts about how big of an evergreen shrub he can stuff through his doorway before the winter solstice; but YHWH still hates his Pagan rituals.

What is your interpretation of YHWH's word? I take it at face value.
Again you're making assumptions in absence of first hand evidence.
Again, I ask; are you asserting that the Apostles broke YHWH's law?
I believe in Yahshua. I believe in YHWH. Abraham didn't have a book. Moses didn't have a book. I have a big head start on drawing near to YHWH.
I know. This probably sounds obsessive.
Grace is the gift, YHWH is the giver. If we are saved by grace, YHWH is implicitly the giver. If we are saved by YHWH grace is implicitly the gift. There is no either or as you have presented it. Conflating grace with some sort of pagan god, pagan practices or pagan values is just silly and a strawman. I can't vote because in doing so the other is rejected. Grace is the means or mechanism of salvation of YHWH and it should never be presented in conflict with YHWH.Grace, Greek Charis or plural Charites, Latin Gratia, in Greek religion, one of a group of goddesses of fertility.

Thalia (Grace)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology and religion, Thalia or Thaleia (/ˈθeɪlɪə/[1] or /θəˈlaɪə/[2]; Ancient Greek: Θάλεια Tháleia "the joyous, the abundance") was one of the three Charites, referred to as the Gratiae (Graces) within ancient Rome, along with her sisters Aglaea and Euphrosyne.[3] In art, they were usually depicted dancing in a circle.
Thalia (Grace) - Wikipedia
grace (n.)
late 12c., "God's unmerited favor, love, or help," from Old French grace "pardon, divine grace, mercy; favor, thanks; elegance, virtue" (12c., Modern French grâce), from Latin gratia "favor, esteem, regard; pleasing quality, good will, gratitude" (source of Italian grazia, Spanish gracia; in Church use translating Greek kharisma), from gratus "pleasing, agreeable," from PIE *gwreto-, suffixed form of root *gwere- (2) "to favor."
Sense of "virtue" is early 14c., that of "beauty of form or movement, pleasing quality" is mid-14c. In classical sense, "one of the three sister goddesses (Latin Gratiæ, Greek Kharites), bestowers of beauty and charm," it is first recorded in English 1579 in Spenser. In music, "an embellishment not essential to the melody or harmony," 1650s. As the name of the short prayer that is said before or after a meal (early 13c.; until 16c. usually graces) it has a sense of "gratitude." As a title of honor, c. 1500.

(CLV) Isa 43:11
I, I am Yahweh, And there is no Saviour apart from Me.
(CLV) Ex 23:13
You shall beware in all that I say to you. And the name of other elohim you shall not mention; let it not be heard coming out of your mouth.
Nonsense. There is not now and never has been a Hebrew name "Yahshua."(CLV) Isa 43:11
I, I am Yahweh, And there is no Saviour apart from Me.
Yah is the hyphenated expression of YHWH....
The syncretism you are talking about exists in your own mind only, Hark. It's not in either the Greek or the English Bibles. Hades was also a Greek god, and the word originated in Greek mythology. It just so happens that words like this were the only words in the Greek Dictionary to use for the things Christ and His apostles spoke about. Words like Monday, Tuesday etc are the only words in the English Dictionary to use for the days of the week, yet these too, originally were the sun, the moon, and the gods.The amount of Pagan syncretism that has crept into Yahshua's message is quite disturbing; and many just accept it.
It goes far beyond this one Pagan goddess. Abstract Greek philosophy had already corrupted YHWH's message; before Yahshua came to correct its' Pagan grip on his people. The whole Western mindset is built on Greek philosophy to the point that trying to understand Hebrew from a Hebrew mindset is like starting over as a child.
Indeed our ancestors have let paganism permeate nearly every aspects of our culture. Do you condone this? Are you suggesting that we should just turn a blind eye to it, and accept it?
In fact I inadvertently, from birth, surrendered far too much power to Paganism. I've since committed to a lifestyle change that submits all to YHWH.

what things might mean to us is irrelevant.To me grace means mercy, forgiveness, not any pagan god. God saves, because he is merciful, not because of what we have done. And I think that is the point, when Bible speaks that we are saved by grace, we are saved because God is merciful.
...we are not saved by grace, we are saved by favor.
grace is a pagan deity. Pagan deities can’t save.
To me grace is a word that means only mercy
Then why not use the word mercy over the name of a Pagan god? The word translates better to favor.
