Jesus is not a pure Greek name, as there is no "J" in Greek. Yashua's Greek name begins with an iota. The name is transliterated IESOUS and sounds like ee-ay-soos.

Since the entire New Testament is written in Greek, not Hebrew, it suggests that God does not consider it inappropriate to use a name or title for Christ in keeping with that of another language or culture. The New Testament repeatedly calls the Hebrew Messiah by Greek names, several of them.

The inspired writings of the apostles refer to Yashua with other linguistic renderings pronounced differently. Yeshua and the Jewish apostles frequently quoted from the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, which was frequently read and studied by Jews in the New Testament era.

Yashua is not an undisputed form, but due to the absence of Hebrew vowels is variously rendered YESHUA or Y'SHUA or YAHSHUA. My messianic friends mostly call Him Yeshua. But I am happy with any of these, since they refer to the same person, my beloved Savior.

When I spent time in China the believers did not call the Messiah either Yashua or Yeshua or Jesus. There are more than two hundred Chinese dialects and each one has a different pronunciation. In Mandarin the two characters for Christ's name are read "YE-SU," in Cantonese "YE-SOU," in Taiwanese "YA-SAW," and in Hakka "YA-SU."

Our Lord rejoices to have people of every tribe and language and nation (spoken of in Revelation 5 and 7) address him in the way of their own language.

I have an atheist friend that is trying to pull me away from God and he uses scripture from the bible. It is hard to stick up for what I know when he knows more about the bible than I do

That's awful!!! you need to get deeper into the word do you know where is a bible study going on near you?

The WORD is TRUTH you need it's LIFE! I know a few that Have done the the same to me! But The Holy Spirit tells everything you need to know and more and I'm sure he warns you too!

I usually tell them you and I don't see eye to eye and I will never leave my G-d for anyone!

The enemy working double time, because not easy to let you go...the funniest thing is the deceiver is not interested in the ones he has ...it's the ones that are after Christ Down and out thirsty.

Stand you ground ...May be Dodo will bible study with ask him ^__^

I shower my friend with love and stand firm. I have had God come and bless me too much to deny HIM and HIS love. I have read the bible and know scriptures, but I do not quote them exactly or know exactly where they were from.
