The Messiah's Name

[The Texas RAT]

Hi Dylan,

The wrong teaching says that it has to be spelled and pronounced just so, or it bothers God if you use it after a certain point. That He overlooks it for a while...then gets upset about it...And once you think you have figured it out just right in the Hebrew form, you can't use any other version of His Name in another language.

It's like KJV onlyism, where they think one version of The Bible is inspired and no others are.

I?ve heard All the arguments through the years...long before Will told me what I should believe...and it ALL fails the test of Truth. There is NO Shame is saying Jesus...not a bit of shame. It is His Name in English form, from the Aramaic form that He and His Disciples all used since the 1st century onwards. If some like the Hebrew form better...then use it. I like it fine as well...But don't go around trying to put shame on His Name in other languages...that's wrong.

In your opinion. Personally I am glad I do not share it with you!

The Aramaic OT is not older than the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Dead Sea Scrolls are our oldest witnesses. Try checking the older texts not the newest stuff.

As far as KJV Onylism it is as ignorant of a theology as one can get, I know I used to be one. A little studying got me past it though. I have studied the Anointed One's Name way more than textural studies and before I learned about the name was originally Yehoshua I was taught that it was Yeshua. Just like I studied my way away from KJV Onlyism I also studied past Yeshua. I dare not turn back to either one.

Anyway back to the subject of this thread the definition of the Messiah's name

Can anyone kindly assist in clarifying what the meaning of the Messiah's name is?

... ... ...

I find most people referring to the Messiah as 'Yeshua' which apparently means 'Yah Saves' but is there a possible error in this meaning? In the services in the Assyrian Church in West London [my nearest church] the Messiah is referred to as 'eesho' so it is POSSIBLE that his name could mean 'star' as suggested above and hence referring to the star out of Ya'aqob :?:

Yehoshua is the original form of the name and therefore any transliterations thereof carry the same definition as the original. Putting aside weather transliterations that do not sound exactly like the original name (much less ones that sound 100% different) are good or bad, they still would carry the same exact definition as they should of had the same exact sound. So 'Yah Saves' is not the definition -it is 'He will Save'. Put MarYah in front of it and you get 'Adon Yah He Will Save'. Which fits right in there with Joel 2:32 and Acts 2:21 plus Romans 10:13.
