Is Jesus 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.

Thank you for this question and thank you all who gave their input. I would request not to get entangled in such theology. Jesus is same whether you call Him Yahshuah, Yeshuah or Yasoo, or Jesus. He has never changed and I call Him Jesus in my prayers and He is the same LORD and Savior who died on the cross for me and rose up from the dead on the third day.

Here I remember one story, there was a non-Jew who came to pray to God. He had heard that God would listen to him if he said his prayer in Hebrew. He only knew the hebrew alphabet and started to recite hebrew alphabet. The High Priest got angry and asked him what was he doing. So he told him that he had heard that God listens to pray that is prayed in hebrew and he only knew hebrew alphabet. The High Priest got angry and said, yes God listens to prayers that are said in hebrew but he is not speaking hebrew.

The man said, he only knew hebrew alphabet and God knows what he needs so He can put all the hebrew letters into a prayer and would answer him.

So the point is, whether you say your prayer in Jesus name or Yahshuah's name, or Yasoo's name, it makes no difference, for we are praying to Savior of the world.
