I am still on the inside but waking up
One day I was doing research on the man I supossed to imatate and I found out that jesus is actualy greek
makes sence christian greek scriptures but i found his hebrew name yehushua then I found his
hebrew to english name joshua. why no religion found this out beets me
but does john 17:3 ring a bell
also why a first century hebrew capenter who spoke out against hellenized jews (saducees) would decide to use his hellenized name beats the hell out of me
Hi Meggidon,
You've said it: the whole New Testament is Greek literature. Not Hebrew literature translated into Greek.
Ièsous is the usual Greek equivalent of Yehoshua`, which is also used for the OT Joshua character in the Greek Bible (both the Septuagint, which was the translation used by Greek-speaking Judaism, and the Christian NT).
There is always a problem when Christians want to find their supposed "Hebrew roots": Christianity as we know it (from the NT on) is Greek from the very beginning.
Yeah I think that jesus was basicly created by the romanized followers
why do you think that he was born roughly the same time the roman empire was founded
all the historical evidence to the true joshua say he was born and died a hundred and ten year before the founding of roman
and that he was probally killed by hellenized jews. they stoned him and then hung him on a tree.
part two the christ
why has no english bible to date bothered to translate christ to english
it means the same as messiah but in clear english it means apointed king
make sence why he would tell people to not say he was the king who was gonna take over this dump
all the historical evidence to the true joshua say he was born and died a hundred and ten year before the founding of roman
Meggidon, have you any references or on-line weblinks to these dates?
Thanks,
CF.
Welcome meggidon!
Although I knew this I never thought about it's significance. Maybe next time I give a prayer at the hall, I'll end it with: "through your Son, Joshua" and see what happens.
What's wrong with that afterall...
*** w84 9/15 p. 27 Let Joshua Help You Serve Jehovah Courageously! ***
"IN THE world you are having tribulation, but take courage! I have conquered the world." You may recognize that those words were uttered by the man named Jesus. However, if you spoke Hebrew, the name Joshua might come to mind, for Jesus is a Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua.?John 16:33.

Megiddon:
About Christos we have a similar linguistic problem: yes, it means anointed (king or priest). Yet this reference to the Israelite practice of anointing kings or priests was hardly meaningful or understandable from a Greek point of view. So the term is mostly used as another proper name in the N.T. (a name which incidentally sounded nice, as it was almost a homonym of the adjective chrestos, "kind, gentle"). There are a few allusions to a kingly, priestly, or spiritual (2 Corinthians; 1 John) anointment, but those are the exceptions which confirm the rule...
