Since Jesus Is A Jew, Why The Alphabet J To Y by menesheh(m): 1:54pm On Apr 16, 2015
Since there is no J pronunciation and alphabet in Hebrew language which was the default language spoken in isreal, by the jew and even during the birth and storyline of jesus existence on the planet earth, then where did the J in Jesus came from? since Jesus was said to be a jew and from juwish descendants.


In the old testament, there is no NAME that starts from the letter J, names would rather start from Y (yud) yoshua, etc


Some do say that the name of Jesus in Hebrew is yashua meaning that they can't retain the initial name since the name saves and do all sort of miracles if called upon.

Jesus is a translated Name.... as you said his real Name is Yashua.. is was translated to Greek and then to English...


Jesus Spoke Aramaic not Hebrew

this means you don't also accept "Jehovah" as God's name (I don't sha, but am catholic)

"Every tribe and every tongue shall glorify God"....Our fore fathers who precede the man (His Divinity precedes all) Jesus, didn't know the name and yet they too are among the saved,

"...and a virgin shall bear a son, His name shall be Emmanuel...." when Igbos shout "Chukwu"....isn't it God they call upon?

The name Jesus is derived from the Latin Iesus , a transliteration of
the Greek Ἰησοῦς ( Iesous ). The Greek form is a rendition of the
Hebrew ישוע ( Yeshua ), a variant of the earlier name יהושע
( Yehoshua ), or Joshua. The name Yeshua appears to
have been in use in Judea at the time of the birth of Jesus.
The etymology of Yeshua as derived from the new testament is generally given as, "Yahweh is salvation". So basically Jesus means God is salvation or God saves.

its better you find a transliteration (Different from translation) of Yeshua in your language and use it.

Faith is the key sha.....if you like shout Jesus from now till tomorrow, if you don't believe, then nothing for you....but again No one can speak for God, He can decide to grant the prayers of the pagan who shouts Jesus unknowingly, than that of the holier than thou.


@poster above me....both names are real....Jesus is just a transliteration of Yeshua....

There is one peculiar thing about name, "identification of the holder"


Does that means in my local language, i can name him anything on my own and still call upon him, he will answer without feeling jealous or wrongfully calling him another name.

I don't know about that .... didn't study Theology. But what I believe is Jesus Died for all of us. whatever name you decide to call him in your dialect .... so long it comes from your heart, I believe he will answer.

You can't just "name" Him anything, you can derive your own transliteration, from your own language and use it. You can refer to Him, using what He means to you. its all intentions. Just don't forget that He is God.

When spouses affectionately, call themselves certain names, does it inspire jealousy?

roqchiq I didn't say they ain't the same name, I only said its a translated name. But as you said Faith is The key.... and God's will too

The ealier name of God is yahwah not actually jehova as recorded in some historical evidence of the name.

Like your sincerity

But speak for yourself (bolded) he didn't die for me and my numerous friends that are agnostic and skeptical about the whole issue of Jesus.

He died for those that believed and convinced of his existence as a being.

Oh now i see....
Not shoving it down your throat....but He died for all, whether you choose to accept it or not. He don die be say hin don die!!!

History has that the name of God is written as the tetragrammation " יהוה"....hebrew letters YHWH....quite hard to pronounce eh?? The "e" was put there to help in pronouncing it.
