Jesus vs. Yehosua

24 April 2013-

 

The internet is chock-full of weird rumors. One such weird rumor claims that Jesus' real name is actually Yĕhōšuă‘, therefore the Christian Church has been lying about who he was.

The rumor implies that because Jesus' real name is actually Yĕhōšuă‘, and the Christian Church has been calling him Jesus for many years, Christians have either been lying about his real identity or fooled into worshipping the wrong Jesus… if that is his real name.

 

 

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Yĕhōšuă‘ (Hebrew) is also known by the English name Joshua. Joshua simply means "God rescues" – very fitting for Jesus.

It is important to note that Jesus is actually Yĕhōšuă‘ in the same way John is actuallyYôḥanan. Why? Because John is originally a Hebrew name spelled Yôḥanan.

When a name goes from one language to another it is adjusted to accommodate the new tongue.

A great article! God bless.
