In Jesus's Name.....

I never quite figured out why some folks keep using those words after every single sentence.

I've hung out with some folks which were strong in their faith, but some of them kinda made me wonder why they keep repeating those words.

Is that an expression for something I'm not entirely familiar with?

Note: I'm not bashing anyone, just curious. I'm a roman catholic myself. But I don't think I've ever said "In Jesus's Name" in my life.
 
Basically its saying that the said prayer is through Jesus. Its noted in the Bible that all must go through him before to God. I think.

But nonetheless, a lot of Christians (not Catholics) end the prayer with it. Even I do when I'm asked for a communal prayer.
 
I have no idea either. I guess some people think if they say it, then they are puting some kind of faith into what they are saying. I have heard "In Jesus Name" after prayers and blessings before a meal, but not coming into casual conversation.

To each their own I guess.

That might explain a few things.

The folks I was with were from a different faith then I was (ie, not Catholic)

 
I've only heard it used and used it myself during prayers and/or sermons. I've never seen anyone use it in casual conversation.

same here
 
It's more like saying "as a representative of jesus"

like "we opened a food shelter and fed the homeless and hungry in Jesus's name"

just like a large company might sponser a food drive, it's to give them the credit.

edit: maybe
 
Some people who use that expression are "Jesus only" believers. In the early 1900's, a doctrine dispute arose in certain fundamentalist circle about the Trinity.

The "Jesus only" group believe that Jesus is the sum total of the Godhood, and the Father and the Spirit are both only Jesus.

Therefore, it should be in "Jesus's name", not "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost".

Not all people who use "Jesus's name" hold to this belief.

According to the Catholic Church, period. This group professes to be Christian and believes in salvation through Jesus, but has a different opinion regarding the nature of the Trinity. This is considered Heresy, even if we are no longer in the Middle Ages.

The Catholic Church wouldn't move to exterminate this group in this day and age, but that's entirely beside the point.

right, but at least in this day and age we can look at it as "by the catholics opinion you're a heretic" Not by some almighty law which states what is and isn't a heretic which we all must abide by
