Is Jesus Yahshua? on Tue 10 Feb 2009, 1:11 pm
I was reading a sermon which talked of translating the word Yahshua as "Yahweh is salvation". The sermon said that Jesus is not the correct pronunciation as it does not deliver the message, "Yahweh is salvation". The sermon said that Joshua if pronounced with "Y" would be the correct pronunciation of Jesus' name as "J" sound does not exist in Hebrew language. It further says, "In reality, the name of Joshua and the name of the Messiah were the same name."
I pray in the name of Jesus and my prayers are heard, I am bit confused here to what is the name Jesus or Yahshua?
"Yeshua" is the name used by today's Jews and messianic believers when referring to the Messiah. The "Ye" was a replacement of "Yah" to avoid pronouncing the Father's name even in its shortened, poetic form [a traditional Jewish restriction that began at the time of the Babylonian exile]. Using Yeshua does not honor Yahweh as intended in Matthew 1:21 above. By pronouncing Yahshua, we state that Yahweh is salvation.
