MJH- could you take a look at this page and tell me what you think? http://www.seekgod.ca/htwhatsinaname.htm you seem to know what you are talking about, and I am very confused. I, too, want to know what his true name is. (confession- I had a hard time with that page (soo much info, and I guess I am being impatient) so I haven't read it word for word.) |

I did not read word for word the site either. It is very long. However, speed reading most of it and reading parts carefully, the author agrees with my standing. However, I hesitate to indorse it in total. I have studied in the Hebrew roots for some time and I have run across a few who seem to make the pronunciation of Jesus’ name almost a salvation issue. They wouldn’t all claim it was a salvation issue, but you wouldn’t know that when you listen to them. YAHshua is not a pronunciation that matches the times of Jesus. (www.jeruselemperspective.com and search for “Hebrew Nuggets”. One of the options is an article on Jesus’ name. These people are experts that the experts consult on Hebrew pronunciation.) Your site quoted the following: “I find the prohibition against saying the name of Jesus a little absurd, considering that the people who have imposed this prohibition, are calling the Messiah by a name that is not found anywhere in the Hebrew scriptures. Most of their reasoning, is that Jesus is an English rendering from a Greek name, and since all things Greek are pagan, this name should not be spoken, and that no self respecting Jew would have ever uttered a Greek name, and surely would not have written any scripture in Greek.” Quoted from the site you mentioned. www.seekgod.ca/htwhatsinaname.htm All said, I almost always use Jesus when speaking to most of my friends, family, and church members. I use Yeshua when it either is understood by those I am speaking to, or when using the Hebrew pronunciation adds to the point. An example is when Joseph is told to name Jesus “Yeshua” because he will save his people from their sins. Yeshua means “salvation.” As far as those who insist on never saying Jesus, but only Yeshua, or YAHshua… to each his own, and if I had friends who were stuck on that, I’d use the name they wanted when I was around them. These are of course my opinions. I like studying such things, but what matters most is how we treat widows and orphans…. MJH |
