The voice from the burning bush told Moses the He is "I AM".
ie He was the Eternal Being, God Almighty.
Jesus used that name in such verses as,
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life,
No one comes to the Father except by Me.
I am the Vine
I am the door
I am the Light of the World.
I am the Bread of Life.
He was speaking metaphorically, using that which was known by the
disciples to give them a better understanding of His life and
ministry.
I believe that God knows our every thought.
I believe that God is more concerned with our right standing with Him
through faith in the death and resurrection of His only begotten Son
for us than in whether we use the Anglicised name for Him or the names
given in all the other languages of the world.
It seems to me that you are desirous of starting your own Christian
denomination, from the evidence that you have given above, on the
pronunciation of the name of Jesus.
That is the opposite of what I would like to happen, and that is that
Christians could come to agreement about the basic concepts of the
teachings of Jesus Christ and His teachings as given by the Apostles.
(We) are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves,
it is the gift of God.
Not of works lest any one should boast.
Ephesians 2 : 8 - 9
Obviously good works should follow.
It seems to me 'you are making a mountain out of a molehill''
No where in the New Testament does it say that our salvation is
dependent upon using Jesus's name in its orginal form

That would be wonderful and they would all blend together and God
Almighty would truly know the hearts and minds of each one as their
praises to God Almighty would reverberate throughout the heavens.
