Perhaps you should take the time to actually read the OP, as it was the original poster who brought up the alleged association between the name Jesus(Iēsous) and Zeus to begin with.

Alleged is the word and I believe he said that he stated that Zeus was the wrong word for (Iesous).. What you did was elaborate. Our subject and topic is the names of Jesus and has nothing to do with Zeus. You know what I am referring to so please don't insult me and pretend to be dumb.

an atheist once made the statement, the letter "J" did not exist in biblical times and therefore Jesus could have not existed, I thought that to be pretty funny, for the name Jesus is written with "I" both in Greek and Latin, Iêsous in Greek, Iesus in Latin

btw Iêsous is also the Greek version of Joshua in Septuagint, I do not believe that there is any relationship between Iesous and Zeus

mr. or mrs. ironmaw1776 you are correct, the only thing is since we have all the alphabet characters of the Hebrew alphabets we wouldn't need to use the letter J.

mr. or mrs. svenm, that is exactly the point you don't believe that the Greek name Iesous is not affiliated with the name Zeus, can any one prove that it is not, after all you will also assume that the bible that you read or the Septuagint is with out any mistransliteration and mistranslation, that's why the letter that Paul wrote to the Thessalonians in second Thessalonians 5:21 to (PROVE ALL THINGS) and that means not to leave not one stone unturned, So if you transliterate the Hebrew name Yehoshua and the short form Aramaic name Yeshua into Greek yourself you will see the truth.

Boy you really have it out for me dot you lady? The fact is i referred to the OP, if you dont like what i have to say about the OP, tough ... In case you haven't noticed i wasn't the only one to refer to this aspect of the OP either. Please don't give me a hard time just because you disagree with me and then disrespect me by saying that i am not sticking to the OP and being disrespectful myself, okay? I really don't need your attitude, save that for your husband and kids at home.

Have a nice day ...

I only have an attitude when someone takes something that belongs to Christ and gives it away to pagan idolatry. The OP made it crystal clear that he was talking about the name of Jesus. And how can you know that I have an attitude? I am typing on a computer.

lol, I do get upset with the infiltration of pagan Gods on a Christian thread.. somewhat like Jesus was mad when the religious leaders were selling and desecrating the temple of His Father


Matthew 21:12-13

Jesus at the Temple

12Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13"It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer,'[a] but you are making it a 'den of robbers.


The Name of Jesus is beautiful to me, it is the Name above Names...


Psalm 111:9
9 He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever—
holy and awesome is his name.



Why am I naughty for loving the Name of Jesus? Just curious?
