Please explain this new in thing of people using yahweh,yahshua,yeshua to refer to god or jesus? I know what it the names mean, but if you want to use the real names why not just post the religious threads all in hebrew or whatever?

Generally when christians say "yeshua" it MEANS the EXACT same person, thing, idea as "Jesus". This is done only because the name sounds more jewish so they can get religiously ignorant jews to belive in jesus, be "saved" and then become jewish. We Jewish have caught on to that game.

Yahweh is a christian term for "God".

I tend to use it to emphasize that he was but a Jewish teacher and not divine (assuming he actually existed that is). Obviously, I am not a christian.

actually Yahweh is an attempt to pronounce the Yod-hay-vov-hey name of G-d, using the best evidence available. For example the Yod-hay portions of the name yashiah (isaiah) and yeremiah (jeremiah) are pronounced Yah, so it stands to reason the first syllable of the Yod-hay-vov-hay was too.

When Jews say yeshua, it usually means its saturday night, and time to get the spice box ready.

There are many movements talking about this now. Yahushua/Yahwshwua/Yeshus/Jesus Ha Machiach/Messiah/Christ. In the end all that matters is that you know him by repenting of your transgressions and trusting in him. It's the simplicity in Christ the religious establishment doesn't want you to hear. As long as it's clear he knows who you are praying to (scriptures testify of him), it's all that matters. Jesus isn't going to judge us upon how well we know hebrew or greek. He's going to judge us upon our allegiance to what he said in the scriptures.

I think a better question is why and how did the names get changed to English words? There were no corresponding names in English. The English names have no historical basis and seem to have a bit of deceit behind them as they hide the actual identity of who is being spoken of and given English definitions.

Look up the origin of the word god and trace it back to it's Indo root, see if it is an appropriate name for our Creator. Look at the origin of the name Jesus(as), How on earth could the name


Yeshua ( also pronounced Isa. Eesa) become Jesus?


The English language has changed the bible into something with little resemblance to what



taught. I suspect most Christians follow Jesus and have no idea as to who Yeshua(as) is.

Because Yeshua was his name, and after the War with Rome, his surviving disciples wound up establishing a colony in Greece. "Jesus" is "Yeshua" run through the Greek language.
