Hi Frank, Read John 17:20,21. First, I would like to know why you use Yahshua, as does a Bible I have (The Sacred Scriptures, Bethel Edition) when I understand it should be:The name Jesus (Gr., Iesous´) corresponds to the Hebrew name Jeshua (or, in fuller form, Jehoshua), meaning “Jehovah Is Salvation.” The Assemblies of Yahweh of Bethel, Pennsylvania say their reason is: "Eliminating the vowel points from the name found in Num. 13:16 it is conclusively confirmed that the best transliteration into English is Yahshua." This manke no sense to me at all. Green's Hebrew Interlinear has the vowel points for that name found in Num. 13:16 and it's Yoshua, thus the English name of Joshua. Yes, I believe it's correct that the name for Jesus in Hebrew is that same name found in Number 13:16. Just wondering, no big deal. Any ideas. The least that we can learn from your illustration is that the true followers of Christ are to attain a unity that is compared with this unity existing between Jehovah and his Son Jesus Christ. John 17:20,21 clearly agrees with your thought where it says, 20 “I make request, not concerning these only, but also concerning those putting faith in me through their word; 21 in order that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they also may be in union with us, in order that the world may believe that you sent me forth." This is no doubt God’s will for all his creatures to whom eternal life is promised, and this perfect unity between God and his only-begotten Son is the high standard of unity for them. Unity is possible only where there is agreement in thoughts and in action. The solid basis on which such unity can be built is the properly understood Word of God, the Bible. It is this truth that makes men free and unified. “If you remain in my word, you are really my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31, 32) The disciples of Jesus agreed with his teachings and his actions. They became one with him. This brought about a change in their lives and they followed their Master. On the other hand, the Pharisees disagreed with Jesus’ teachings and deeds. Their pride and the wrong interpretation of the Scriptures hindered them from coming into unity with him. So it is today Tara1 |

2 | Who is Greater Jesus Christ or the Fathe | John 14:28 | Frank4YAHWEH | 124666 | ||
Hi Tara, You know that the 'J' was originally a 'Y' sound in the Hebrew, right? For example the 'j' in Hallelujah is pronounced as a 'y' sound. When you pronounce Joshua the 'o' is an 'a' sound as in our Heavenly Father and Creator's Name Yahweh. So, His Son's Name is pronounced Yahshua. I beleive that names should be transliterated and not translated. When I listen to a foreign broadcast on my short wave radio I frequintly hear names transliterated for example. I am so glad that you have come to the understanding that Father Yahweh is not His Son Yahshua. |
