FFH said:Hebrew - Yahshua
English - Joshua
Greek - Jesus
Jesus is the Moshiach that has already come into the world.
According to LDS/Christian theology, remember FFH, the Jews do not believe this.

Abrahamalexander garcia said:Hi, for Jewscout I would simply ask other then yourself can you show me by Scripture anyone that has ever CHOSE to follow?
Israel has been dispersed and lostReality in the scriptures where is Israel?
do not try to have a discussion about your "Rabbi" when halachically he is guilty of professing Idolitry and call it Judaism.:tsk:For the Rabbi that says they are here then which are not Jews?
jewscout said:Israel has been dispersed and lost
only Judah and some Levi and Kohen's survive, but some would say that we are now finding some of the "Lost Tribes". Take that how you will.
Nehustan said:Personally I have no time for him, as he implied the 'personage' of the messiah was a false prophet (tho' he may try and wriggle out of that that is clearly what he implied).
Nehustan said:You however I have some time for as you obviously know the name Yahshua, which has been shown to me as Jeheshuah/Ya'shua(h) (IHShVH) which has a clear semiotic meaning. It can not be coincedence you know this name I would be interested in knowing a.) where did you come across this name and b.) if it was taught was it by a man or by the spirit.
Nehustan said:Oh and if you want to delineate its meaning here that'd be great...it will save me from pasting a diagram in yet another thread.
Actually the Romans, were those cultured Romans, were often bilinguists, if not poly-linguists. For centuries, Romans learned Greek as well as their native Latin.sojourner said:Jesus was Hebrew. He spoke Aramaic, but, as a Rabbi, who read the Law in synagogue, he would have known how to speak Hebrew. Again, so what?
The earliest extant texts we have for the NT are written in Greek. Again, so what?
Maybe in Acts, Paul was speaking to the Roman in Latin (which the Roman would quite possibly have been speaking.) Just because the textual account was written in Greek doesn't mean that the characters of the story were speaking Greek. So what?
AlanGurvey said:Alexander heres a point I think you should know, G-d understands ALL languages!
wmam said:Yes this be true, but, The Mashiach chose to speak in Hebrew.........
Act 26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
As well as searching out the Scriptures, I have found that the word Hebrew was used a total of 26 times in the KJV and Aramaic - 0.
this is tradition held in the Midrash, not found in the TorahHi, for Jewscout and then I'll look at the others on this page, You give mames no scripture why? Was Abraham called or did he go out of Ur looking?
As to your second point if Israel is lost then how can the scriptures be forfilled? For is not ALL of Israel to be saved? And I use it in a phyical sence as does the scriptures. They can not be saved from distruction if they are not at home. Or are you to prove that Judah has some how fixed his brothers and as we are speaking of brothers where is Benjamin?
alexander garcia said:Hi, to all the difference is in the truth that the scriptures state. That there is only ONE NAME. Does it matter who you call? In my belief YES! is Jesus Yahshua Messiyah No! Jesus is Greek. Yahshua is the Almighty! And I believe that soon He will return!
Popeyesays said:Well, Saul of Tarsus was a speaker of Greek, but he was also a priest of Judaism, how could he be unfluent in Hebrew?
Popeyesays said:Hebrew was a classical language spoken only by the very educated. Aramaic was the current dialectic of the same language.
Popeyesays said:How much resemblance does the Hebrew of modern-day Israel match Classical Hebrew? Not very well. But Rabbis and the educated can understand Classical Hebrew just like modern-day Jesuits are educated in Latin and Greek, even though they might not speak it much outside of the classroom.
Popeyesays said:And this of course, side-steps the issue as to the fact that it was a VISION not a physical appearance and a VISION occurs inside one's own head. Why would it choose to speak in an unexpected language?
Wow, I have been reading this post over and over, and I am have finally figured out where you were coming from. Great post !!! I will give you frubals for it !!!, and I will address this issue as soon as I get some things together. I definitely want to get into this a bit deeper, from a Christian perspective. I think what I have to bring to the table, will shed a different light on this subject, as to why Jesus Christ, who was obviously a Hebrew by lineage, and upbringing, would choose to be addressed, throughout history, using a Greek name. Let me get some things together.alexander garcia said:Fact Jesus is not a transliteration of the Hebrew name Yahshua. Fact Acts 26:14 states the vioce that spoke to Saul (NOT PAUL) spoke in the Hebrew tongue. Is Jesus Hebrew or Greek? And it is Iesous ( MY ZEUS). Again for the wise men that say scripture as far as the New Testament, was writen in Greek or Aramic, the fools can't make up the minds of which as science they keep changing their story. But agian scripture proves them wrong. Acts 21:37, the Roman asked Saul if he could speek Greek? Pretty stupid to say that if he was speaking Greek as the wise HAHAHA men state. I am sorry if I offend any but the truth hurts.
I understand where you are coming from COMPLETELY. Jesus is not a literal translation from the Hebrew name Yahshua, or Joshua, as we say in English. It is totally a Greek name, and I totally agree with you on that now. You have brought up such a great point.alexander garcia said:Hi, I was reading this last Thread and would have to state that first as the scripture states they all saw a bright shinning light. Saul hear the voice speak in Hebrew the others heard it thunder. Saul was blinded. This is all physical. The difference is that names are different in Greek from Hebrew.
