Jesus' True Name

[foodiepeep]

What should a true Christian call Jesus? I've found that His proper name is Yeshua in Aramaic, but the English later mistranslated it into "Jesus". So if a non-denominational Christian like myself was to call Christ "Yeshua" rather than Jesus, would that be improper or not biblically sound in some way?

 

[stormdancer0]

I believe if you call His name in love, He won't care which version. I realize that "Yeshua" is correct, but have used Jesus for so long that I continue to use it by habit.

The importance of calling on the Name of the Lord is paramount in scripture.
The line of Seth began by calling on the name of the Lord and His own have ever since.
Is the name important? Jesus said that the Samaritan's didn't know who they worshipped
but the Judists did because they had the oracles of God.

God's name is called on in prayer. The Judaists prayed directly
(Hannah's answered prayer for example)
but when you look at her prayer it was to Him who was majestic and almost beyond reach.
That same prayer was echoed somewhat in Mary's (Jesus' mother's) prayer.
Almost disbelief that the Great I Am would condescend to speak to so small a creature.
But the Lord brought forth His will thru them.

Now Jesus is the mediator, thru the Holy Spirit, to the Great Unknown.
He's there and knowable....now we can go boldly. He is the I Am.

It's the knowing that brings us to Him. Not the accent you use to say His name.
Knowing who He is Christian's have further understanding so a clearer path home to the New Jerusalem.

In Hebrew his name is Ya, as in Yahweh, thus the meaning for the praise of Halleluyah which means "Hallowed be to Ya."

Jesus actually means Zeus like in Thor, another name for a Mythological Greek God. Constantine could not defeat Christianity in the third century so he introduced paganism into Christian belief which still is still present to this today.

Remember there is only one name under heaven to which we can be saved. Make sure you right it right!

Actually the Hebrew is Joshua. Greek Jesus. Mythologically speaking Zeus would be the standin that 3rd century BC would have used to try to bring understanding, as the Catholic used pagan symbolisms.
Jesus' prophesied name was Emmanuel...God with us... the messenger to earth said to call His name Jesus.
btw, many think that because the woman at the well said "when the Messiah comes He will explain all things" Jesus said in effect "I'm standing here with you now and you heard me say that knowing Whom to worship and not knowing is the difference" But there He was on ignor so to speak, from those who came closest to understanding. He wept tears as he was to leave the garden while those closest slept.
The pagans know not...so why listen....they don't have the oracles...but they'll lead you to believe in...????????? Do we ever get an answer from them?

 

[Markus6]

Yeshua's name in Greek - as written by the authors of the Gospels - is Ἰησοῦ which is transliterated to Iēsoûs. All of the New Testament was written in Greek, it was the language of the early Church and there's a good chance Yeshua spoke it.

When Latin took over the world through the Roman Empire Yeshua became Iesus (that name sounds wonderful in ancient hymns sung in Latin).

It's great that Christians have reconnected with Jesus' Jewish, Aramaic roots but lets not forget that his name in other languages has been called upon by hundreds of saints throughout history, back to the apostles who wrote his name in Greek. I love the different translations of his name. Yeshua, Iēsoûs, Iesus, Jesus saviour of the Jews, Greeks, Romans, and us today!

Try Yeshua in prayer and see if He responds differently. I find He looks on the heart.

 

[mongoestella]

In Spanish Jesus is pronounced, "Heyzus". The J is pronounced instead as an H sound and rest sus, gives you the zus.

So in Mexico they actually pronounce it as Zeus in that name down there.

If I introduced a guy to you from Mexico and his name was Juan and we were up here I'd introduce him as John the English translation. I'm not getting technical in pronouncing a name from it's original text.

I wrote out Jesus and showed it to a girl from Israel and asked her how she would pronounce it in her language and she said, Zues.

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved”

Acts 4:12

Easter is another example of paganism in Christianity. It is based on the pagan festival Eastre. Search it on google third one down from the top.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Hosea 4:6

Our Father who art in heaven, Harold be thy name.

We give each other pet names. Does it mean we are calling a different person when we call our friend by their pet name? No. Why not? Because the friend knows your intent. Because the friend knows that you MEAN Him no matter what name you say. It's who you MEAN that matters. It doesn't matter what you call Him. God KNOWS your intent and who you mean.

I don't think the Bible mentions whether we should call Jesus by translated name of Yeshua or whether we should stick to Yeshua.

God knows our heart and our intent. He proved to me one time that He knew what I wanted to say even though I coudn't find the words to express it. It's the intent and idea that count. Words are not that significant.

 

[mongoestella]

There are 20 guys out in the yard and they are all busy doing something. There is only one Bob out there in the mix. You stick your head out the door and yell "Hey Bob!"

Who is going to stop what they are doing and say "what?" Are 19 other guys just going to carry on what they are doing and ignore the "hey Bob" assertion? If Bob is never called Robert and that name is called would he still stop what he is doing and answer you?

 

[MoNiCa4316]

I agree with this

I honestly don't think that anyone is calling Christ "Zeus" when we call Him Jesus.

The Latin translated from the Greek is 'Iesus'.. and the New Testament was written in Greek

I think Christ's name was actually pronounced as Yeshua or Joshua, but I don't believe it's wrong to call Him Jesus; it has nothing to do with the pagan god Zeus, there's actually a simple linguistic reason for the change. Iesus is the Latinized version of Yeshua. Names typically get changed when they're used in different languages.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

I beleive that the names of the so-called gods of mythology
are the workings of the guardian angels as seen by ancient mankind.
They were meant to be servants of the King and His subjects. Not vis a vis.

Servants of the King
(Gen 28:12; Dan 7:13; Jn 1:51)

Servants of the subjects
(Heb 1:14)

King
(Col 2:13)

subjects
(Col 2:2; 1 Pet 2:5)

Called the Stone Kingdom

 

[`Raine]

I think it's perfectly sound. (biased here though, cause I use the Hebrew names).
The only ones I can really see having a problem with it would be someone who was KJV-only, because it uses the name Jesus.

 

[mongoestella]

I don't know why that person interjected that Zeus was quoted as being the same as Christ.

That has never been stated on this thread. Only that Zeus and Jesus are one in the same.

I repeat. In Spanish the name Jesus is actually pronounced Heyzeus

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. (2Timothy, 4: 3-4)

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith.... (1Timothy, 4: 1)

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2Timothy, 3: 1-5)

If the word Jesus and Zues are the same then what has Spanish to do with Hebrew or Greek? Aren't you taking that a little farfetched. The languages of the culture they were written in indicate Joshua (Yeshua ) Christ (Messiah)
The angel's named Him Jesus instead of Immanuel at the time that the marraige of gods and Israel were occuring. I see it as a concession to human wisdom, since the God with us came to serve mankind in their own language.
Personally I think calling Him Immanuel or just the Risen Christ makes more sence because Jesus is His human name. Christ is His station, and Immanuel is how God sees it.
Your insistance that Zues means Jesus and has been conceeded to in this thread is misleading.

 

[Timothew]

According to the song, God's name is Andy.








Andy walks with me,
Andy talks with me,
Andy tells me I am His own.

Heysus is the Spanish translation from the Hebrew for Jesus. The point being in mentioning the Spanish pronunciation is that if you pronounce it out loud you will here the Zeus in that translation to the Spanish language.

I repeat, I wrote the name Jesus out on a piece of paper and showed it to a girl from Israel. She said that in her language that name is pronounced Zeus.

I agree with you totally on his title being "The Risen Christ."

What is the Real name of the Messiah



The name of Jesus is a 400 year old name approximately, because the English language never had the letter "J" till then.

This is very important, because it says in the Bible by one name only shall you be saved. So it becomes frightfully important. Because it is a recent name not known by THE ALMIGHTY.
In fact the Original King James Bible had the name Iesus inside. This is also a historical record of the fact the name Jesus is a very modern name in terms of history.

Then on the flip side of the subject, we have the Greek god Zeus who is a representation
of The Sun god who is The Devil as known by ancient cultures.

Here below is some information on the subject, but take into account no name beginning with the letter "J" can be attributed to
THE ALMIGHTY.

So the name Jehovah cannot be the name of THE ALMIGHTY of Jeshua.

We have a clue to THE NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY, from the scripture and the word Hallelujah=HALLELUYAH which means Praise YAH, so YAH is his name.
So what was the name of THE MESSIAH
Yashua, Yesu, or YAHSHUA even because he came in his fathers name.
I'm not sure of THE MESSIAH's name but I am sure YAH would have been who the people in the old Testament prayed too and THE MESSIAH himself.

Personally I pray to YAH in the name of your son YAHSHUA.

Many people accept "Jesus" as the correct modern English translation of the name "Yahshua." The fact is that IF it is in fact a correct translation, then that's exactly what it is,... a TRANSLATION. In English or Hebrew, the name "Jesus" did not exist until the 1600's and Yahshua was the name that Miriam (Mary) received from Gabri-el, at the commandment of Yah, to name her son,... AND,... the name that the apostles preached in. This is a FACT whether we want to accept it or not.
There are various studies that exist which really explore the reasoning behind the Greeks changing of the Hebrew names. Many of these studies can be found on the internet and shall be explored here. Understand that the language barrier was NOT the issue in the Greeks changing of the Hebrew names. If it was, then everyone that speaks English would know Him as "Joshua," an English translation of Yahshua meaning "Yah is Salvation."
In the New Testament, or the "Greek Scriptures" as some call them, they refrained from pronouncing the name of the prophets of the Old Testament. One very glaring "translation" is found in Luke 4:27 where the name "Eliseus" is used instead of Elisha. In the Greek, "Eliseus" means "God (Elohim) is Zeus." 4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prohet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. This is a very interesting passage. Anyone that have read this book before in it's earlier editions read what I wrote concerning the rendering of Elisha's name as Eliseus, but when I wrote this, I was totally unaware of the rendering of this name in the ORIGINAL 1611 King James


Notice the "z" is there in the name but here in these modern English translations we see an "s" in the name. Translators let the "z" that clearly represent Zeus get past them back in 1611 but they rectified the "deceit" later. The same "s" that they put in Eliseus is the SAME "s" they put in JeSus replacing the "z" that is really Zeus. Zeus and salvation are synonymous to the ancient Greeks. The tie-in brothas and sistas, is that Elizeus to the Greeks mean "God/Elohim saves, because the "sha" in Elisha (the true Hebrew name of the prophet as opposed to Elizeus) means saves just as "shua" in Joshua or Yahshua means "saves." To the Greeks, salvation is of ZEUS. So the point is that Jesus is neither transliterated NOR translated from Yahshua, Yeshua, Yahoshua, or any Hebrew rendering/dialect of the name Yahshua because, Zeus saves no one!
