When did calling Jesus, Yeshua become so fashionable...

The story of Joshu, from Oahspe, includes a portrait. He was born during the Greek occupation of Judea. General time frame 150 to 100 BC. He was Essene. They lived communally, did not generally marry. Oahspe states Joshu was born 'iesu' meaning of indeterminate sex.

Aramaic. Though they would have known Hebrew as well for purposes of readings in the temple.

Schooled

It's just that some believers want to feel superior to other believers.

It's ridiculous and probably deep seeded insecurity issues.

Lisa........
really?

Yep! I have no problem with people calling Him whatever they choose, no problem whatsoever. It's their own personal relationship with their creator.

But, I'm darn sick and tired of people putting down others who choose to use the name Jesus, mock them, trash them, and speak all kinds or arrogant evil about them as if they are superior.

I watch it daily on GLP.

If you're not one of those, then no reason to be offended.

Jesus, Jevohah, Yahweh, Abba Father, Heavenly Father, Lord, Yahshua, Creator, Almighty God..........are all the same being.

For some people to think that He only responds to one of these names is outrageous and arrogant.

HE either knows you, or HE doesn't. Does not matter one bit which of these names you call Him.

People that pick one name over another name are not more special then another person that chooses a different name.

He knows who His kids are.

So, you don't have an understanding of using the true name of the one you love? and what that means to that one?

The Holy Spirit understands all languages and is understood by those of all languages. I'm sure God understands who we are worshiping in our own languages and in our own hearts.

And He can let us know what He wants us to call Him when he returns.

I understand that I call Him Jesus, and He understands me and answers me just fine. That's really all I need to know about that.

How we treat others is the most important thing to Him.....not how we pronounce His name.

I won't debate this....it is what it is.

I always thought Joshua and Jesus were two different characters.

One is the son of man and the other being the bright morning star.

In answer to your question OP: This actually started in earnest back in the late 50's with the Herbert Armstrong movement. The church was called "The World Wide Church of God." A few of the scholars in that church felt it was incorrect to use the Greek spelling/name of Jesus, so they branched off into the "scared name" churches. It spread from there (slowly), but is now popular with many Christian Churches.

as you wish.

just so YOU understand you are calling Him by His pagan name.

It is becoming popular because inherited liea and half truths don't work..

Luke 3:29, Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 translations change 'Jesus' to Joshua in some bibles, it doesn't seem significant but if the name is the same, why not all the Jesus' be changed?

Some people don't believe in the Mary stuff in the catholic church.some,even the earliest reformers considered the beast power and substitute messiah to come from there as their study guides note. Specifially the papacy...

Now the catholic apologists say that these mary visions and messages point to 'Jesus', so how can that be evil?

It points to The Jesus with a birthday of Dec 25- not Torah supportd
It points to The Jesus with a resurrection on something called easter- Not Torah supported..
It points to The Jesus with who they say apparently changed the sabbath- not Torah supported..

Not to mention their calculating pope Gregory calendar that all the religions of the world use to find their own sabbaths....

Can a catholic honestly say the Word (Torah) became flesh and dwelt among us, if their savior non-torah holy days, foreign sabbath, etc?

And added to that, how can a protestant be comfortable with any of the Catholic Church tradition they adopt like sabbaths, holy days and even the name of their savior, if they too believe that Torah became flesh?

The name is just one piece...there is mounting evidence that christian churches are following their own savior that bears little resemblance to the messiah of Israel who was supposed to fulfill the feasts in Leviticus..

Church can't get calendar right, the sabbath right, the holy days right.... how can they be trusted with the name?

Yeshua is Jesus in Hebrew ...so what does it matter...
this is the same.

No.



It is not the same.

Jew means tribe of judah and could also refer to the southern kingdon which is the tribe of judah and benjamin


Jesus was from the tribe of Judah, therefore a jew

Yeshua is his name, however he judges the heart so the people that choose to call him Jesus its not a big problem

"Jesus as a boy's name is pronounced JEE-zus, hay-SOOS. It is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Jesus is "the Lord is salvation".

I don't think it matters, I call him my Jesus homeboy, most misunderstood person in history lol.

What is most important is to follow what he said:

Love thy neighbor as thyself. And other things he said.

Now that being said, I do not condemn any one calling him Jesus. But the issue is rooted in tradition. It is hard for someone to call him Yeshua or Yahshua, because they have been calling him Jesus their whole lives. Another factor to consider is that some go to assemblie where they call him Jesus, it would be hard for them to change and call him Yeshua because of peer pressure.

Now here is the Truth:
The Name Yeshua is CLOSER to his real name than Jesus. But it is better to follow what he said than to dispute the pronounciation.

I have seen people here call others stupid and other things, be careful and repent.

It came about because those that hate Christianity tried to use the fact that Jesus is not a Hebrew name as "evidence " the Bible is a lie.

So it had to be laboriously explained that His real name is Yeshua.

LOL
Have you even read the bible?
Your God is quite anal about everything.

i call him Sonny and he seems to like it

Yeshua

bible don't say "You must call Jesus Yeshua!" for some reason

you are very incorrect it says His name shall be called immanual. which means God with us. It doesn't say his name is
