The reason we choose to transliterate Jesus versus Joshua is because the Holy Spirit saw it fit to give us the New Testament in Greek and the Old Testament in Hebrew, when Paul preached the sermon on Mars Hill and when Peter presented the Gospel to Cornelius' house (Acts 17:22-31; Acts 20:23-33) they definitely called Him Ἰησοῦς instead ...
In the same way, to say that Jesus would be called "Immanuel" means Jesus is God and that He dwelt among us in His incarnation and that He is always with us. Jesus was God in the flesh. Jesus was God making His dwelling among us (John 1:1,14). No, Jesus' name was not Immanuel, but Jesus was the meaning of Immanuel, "God with us."
The question assumes that "Jesus refused to be called good." In fact, Jesus' question in Mark 10:18 does not constitute a refusal to be called good. He simply asked the man addressing Him why he had called Him "good." Big difference. Far from a refusal to be called good, Jesus' response was, in fact, the response of a "Good Teacher:" that is ...
In Philemon 1:23-24, Paul mentions Epaphras, Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke (as he did in Colossians 4:10-14), but (for whatever reason) he does not repeat the reference that he made in Colossians to Jesus Justus.
When Jesus was on the Cross and called out Eli meaning God, why did the bystanders think he was calling Elijah? Matthew 27:46 - 47. ESV - 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
"Along with Yeshua, there were two other men from the Old Testament: Moses and Elijah. Why were these two men present and not others? There are two reasons. First, Moses was there to represent the Law, and Elijah was there to represent the Prophets. Remember, that the purpose of the coming of Yeshua was to fulfill the Law and the Prophets.
Joshua -> Hebrew -> Yahowshuwa (Strongs 3091) Jesus -> Greek -> Iesous (Strongs 2424) When the KJV translators interpreted the New Testament manuscripts (written in Greek), they saw "Iesous", and translated it to Jesus instead of Joshua, even though the context was referring to a different person (but of the same name).
Angels are so- called in Job 38:7, and Christ is called the bright and morning star in Rev. 22:16; so whoever Lucifer is he could not be a mere man but a heavenly being. Lucifer actually ascended to heaven in an effort to exalt his throne above the stars of God and become like the Most High.
A painter is called a painter because he paints. A painter might play basketball with his son, but he's still called a painter, not a basketball player. A prophet might work as a tent maker, but he's still called a prophet. John the Baptist was a prophet, but he wasn't called John the Prophet, but was called John the Baptist.
If you are a Jew and you speak Hebrew, then calling Jesus "Yeshua" and God "Yahweh" will come naturally. However, for most of us who speak English, and not Hebrew, "Jesus" and "God" is enough. There is no rule that requires us to call Jesus "Yeshua" and God "Yahweh". September 08 2014 • 0 responses • Vote Up • Share • Report
