GOD IS A GREEK?(The Hebrew Name of Jesus)

By Jeffrey D. Dean Sr.October 6, 2011

Some have mistakenly (or perhaps deliberately) assumed that I am part of some"Hebrew Roots Movement" because I use the name Y'shua (Yeshua, Yahoshuaetc.) when referring to the Son of God. This is a debate that is silly and childlikein it's very nature and engenders itself to questions and strifes of words(something the Apostles stated is "devilish"). So we know that when someonewants to make ANY issue at all about which transliterated name I use inreference to the Son of God they are not coming from the Holy Spirit but someother spirit which is NOT of God.

I will herein lay my case before the public for scrutiny. I shall not rely on

historical records (which easily can and have been altered). I shall not rely onanything but the old noggin my Father gave me and (hopefully) the Holy Spiritdiscernment that I have received and upon which I have relied from my youth toanswer these devils who insist on making some mountain out of a mole hill andwho insist on creating strife over a name translation.

I have always said and will continue to say that when you call upon the name ofthe Son of God, the Father knows upon WHOM you are calling (even if you weretaught his name was George or Ringo). It matters not. Yet, I have at the sametime encouraged the use of the name Y'shua (Yeshua). Occassionally somedevil will call me on this and demand to know why I insist upon doing this. Their

arguments are numerous but they are summarized in this manner:

"Everyone knows that the Hebrews of Jesus' time spoke and wrote in Greek, theNew Testament was WRITTEN in Greek originally and the name Jesus (theGreek name of the Son of God) appears in all of the oldest Greek manuscripts.Why should I call Jesus by an Hebrew name when there is no proof he ever hadan Hebrew name to begin with?"

In short, these devils want to forget many important facts that cannot be denied.First but not foremost is that Jesus, his parent, his grandparents, his ants, uncles,cousins, brothers (yes he had brothers but that is another article all in itself), all ofthese people were HEBREW. They grew up in an Hebrew culture that was deepand rich and they were an OCCUPIED country at the time of Jesus' birth. Whatdoes any of this have to do with anything? It's inconceivable and even laughableto think that they gave Jesus a GREEK name. (It cannot be denied that thename Jesus is Greek because the letter J does not even exist in the Hebrewalphabet).

Putting that aside, it is at least REMOTELY possible that Jesus' parents could

give him a Greek name.

The foremost FACT they ignore is that even if it were true Mary and Josephspoke and read Greek (and if you hear the Catholics tell it they didn't evenKNOW Hebrew), Mary and Joseph did not name the Son of God! They were

TOLD what to name him by God!

Matthew 1: 19-21

"19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willingto make her a public example, was minded to put her away

privately.

20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of theLord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of

David, fear not to take to you Mary your wife: for that which isconceived in her is of the Holy Spirit

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his nameJESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."

For those who insist that the angel uttered the name JESUS (the Greek Name)and that was the ORIGINAL name and it has never been transliterated I have butone question. Is God a Greek?

Why did God command a Greek name for the Hebrew born child of Mary andJoseph? Especially when you consider that the Greek name "Jesus" does NOTIN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM denote a SAVIOR and the angel states that thename was given BECAUSE he was to be a SAVIOR?

This is not rocket science people! Nowhere in Greek mythos, legend, or in anyGreek tradition at that time did the name "Jesus" have any significance ormeaning of "Savior." Yet, here is an angel saying "call him Jesus because he willbe a savior." This defies all logic and common sense (which is just fine with thepeople who insist that Jesus was the original name because they don't reallypossess much of either, that is clear from talking to them).

Yet, there is ANOTHER name, a HEBREW name that DOES denote a "savior."It's a very FAMOUS name in Hebrew culture. That name is Y'shua (Yeshua)which is translated in English JOSHUA!

Joshua was the one who finally led the Children of Israel into the PROMISEDLAND!

Not surprisingly, Jesus led them into the TRUE PROMISED LAND.

It is more likely that when the angel uttered the name he said this, "you shall callhis name Yeshua (Joshua) for he shall save the people from their sins."

Do we have any proof at all that the name might have been originally "Joshua?"

We have very SIMPLE PROOF and this proof also, not surprisingly, is proof thatthe creators of the coveted "GREEK MANUSCRIPTS" the Jesus nameproporters like to point to went through the New Testament at some point andeverywhere the name Y'shua (Joshua) appeared changed it to the name Jesus.

The first scripture is Acts 7:44- 45

"44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he hadappointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the

fashion that he had seen.

45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into thepossession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of ourfathers, unto the days of David;"

These verses are talking CLEARLY about JOSHUA but it says JESUS in theGreek Manuscripts (and in earlier versions of the King James Version of which Ipossess several copies). They have since CORRECTED this error in the newertranslations to cover up their lies but the truth is out there for everyone to see.Someone CHANGED the name Joshua in the GREEK MANUSCRIPTS to the

name JESUS. In their zeal to ERADICATE the Hebrew name of the Son of Godthey messed up and they are now caught with their pants down!

Hebrews 8:4

"For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterwardhave spoken of another day."

Again, this verse is talking about JOSHUA of OLD but they mitransliterated it toJESUS (because they simply were replacing the name Y'shua with Jesuseverywhere they saw it in the New Testament)!

Everyone KNOWS that Jesus indeed has given us "rest." No apostle would say"IF Jesus HAD given them rest."

It doesn't take a genius in linguistics or an expert in the subject of transliterationsto SPOT these two errors and the conclusion is inescapable! Someone waschanging the name Y'Shua (Joshua) to Jesus at some point and there were tworeferences to the ORIGINAL JOSHUA that got translated erroneously in the


4/4

process!

All you really have to do is READ your scriptures and rely on your NOGGIN andthe Holy Spirit and the LIES will be revealed!

Yes, Jesus is a GREEK TRANSLATION of the name Y'Shua (Joshua) there canbe no doubt (and NOT the other way around as the Roman Beasts would haveyou to believe)!

Does this make me some sort of radical "Hebrew Roots Movement" preacher?Some devils might say so to try and discredit me somehow (so they don't have tobelieve in the TRUE MESSIAH).

That's the last I will probably say on this subject (I hope).
