I know you were talking about Joshua and not Jesus. Have a read of the Etymology though as it also shows that Yeshua was also used as the shortened form of Yeshoshua for Joshua. Its an interesting read and will not take you too long. You do not have to read it. Its up to you.
If the topic is a particular person and what their name is, etymology is irrelevant. If my name is James, it doesn't matter that James is etymologically related to Ya'akov. My name would not be Ya'akov.
No it is very relevant as it proves usage over time and through language.
Nope. My name would NOT be Ya'akov.
Once again, not relevant to the Etymology of Yeshoshua to Yeshua to Joshua to Jesus - Wikipedia.
Once again, my name would not be Ya'akov.
Once again, not relevant to the Etymology of Yeshoshua to Yeshua to Joshua to Jesus - Wikipedia.
Once again, my name would not be Ya'akov. Why can't you acknowledge that?
Saying the same thing over and obey does not make it come true. Read the Etymology of Yeshoshua to Yeshua to Joshua to Jesus - Wikipedia. Its shows historical usages even in the Tankh.
What I'm saying is not true because I say it, but because it is the only thing that makes sense. If my name is James, then my name is James and not Ya'akov. Why are you having such difficulty with this?
I am not having any difficulty because I understand Etymology and historical use of names and words. Yeshua (Hebrew: יֵשׁוּעַ, romanized: Yēšūaʿ) was a common alternative form of the name Yehoshua (Hebrew: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, romanized: Yəhōšūaʿ, lit. 'Joshua') in later books of the Hebrew Bible and among Jews of the Second Temple period. The name corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous (Ἰησοῦς), from which, through the Latin IESVS/Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus. The Hebrew spelling Yēšūaʿ (ישוע) appears in some later books of the Hebrew Bible. Once for Joshua the son of Nun, and 28 times for Joshua the High Priest and other priests called Jeshua – although these same priests are also given the spelling Joshua in 11 further instances in the books of Haggai and Zechariah. It differs from the usual Hebrew Bible spelling of Joshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, Yəhōšūaʿ), found 218 times in the Hebrew Bible, in the absence of the consonant he (ה) and placement of the semivowel vav (ו) after, not before, the consonant shin (ש). It also differs from the Hebrew spelling Yeshu (ישו) which is found in Ben-Yehuda Dictionary and used in most secular contexts in Modern Hebrew to refer to Jesus, although the Hebrew spelling Yēšūaʿ (ישוע) is generally used in translations of the New Testament into Hebrew[3] and used by Hebrew-speaking Christians in Israel. The name Yeshua is also used in Hebrew historical texts to refer to other Joshuas recorded in Greek texts such as Jesus ben Ananias and Jesus ben Sira.[4] In English, the name Yeshua is extensively used by followers of Messianic Judaism,[5] whereas East Syriac Christian denominations use the name ʿIsho in order to preserve the Syriac name of Jesus.[6] The 2004 film The Passion of the Christ, which was made in Aramaic, used Yeshua as the name of Jesus and is the most well-known western Christian work to have done so.[7] (Wiki)
I didn't bother to read your lengthy post. Unless you can acknowledge that if my name is James, it is James and NOT Ya'akov, then yes, you are having serious problems with normal thinking.
That's entirely up to you. There is no law against being irrational.
True, but you are better off not doing that and reading what people post to you rather than ignoring them. You might learn something.
Not always. When a particular person has established a reputation for being irrational, especially on a given topic, it makes no sense to read long posts written by them.
Don't worry it is not too late for you.
64 pages and 1278 posts and not a single scripture in all the New Testament that identifies Sabbath as a commandment that must still be kept.
Well that would be a lie or you do not know what the bible teaches. I am not sure which one though so posting this in good faith as a help to you.
