Yahvahshua

[GRAZSP]

Can anyone please tell me about a biblical figure by the name of Yahvahshua?

I've never heard of that, but I Googled and it's apparently it's some unnecessarily long-winded transliteration of Jesus' name combined with a rendering of the Tetragrammaton. It's not very helpful.

Thank you.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Sacred name snobbery.

Thanks for keeping it real.

I have NEVER heard of any "Yahvashua." There is no such person in the Bible.

If I had to take a guess, it looks like someone is trying to combine the tetragrammaton (the divine name of God) which transliterates as YHWH, with the Aramaic name of Jesus, Yeshua. They are perhaps doing this to say that Jesus is God. But does this name ever occur in the Bible? No.

It's sad, but true that sometimes people just make stuff up out of whole cloth.

Thanks for you input. After Saint Frankenstein Googled it, I also found something about it on Facebook. This South African professor is in the process of rewriting his own Bible.

Wow. Chutzpah.
