On names: It is, however, just as silly to use Iesus as Yeshua in an English speaking nation. Maybe you believe it releases some magical power when concepts are written in Hebrew letters or transliterated with English letters? Yeshua is Aramaic, not Hebrew. Aramaic was the language spoken by most people in Palestine during Jesus's time. So when his contemporaries spoke his name, "Yeshua" would be what came out of their mouth. I presume that may be why some people use that form of the name. The Hebrew form of the name Jesus/Yeshua is Yehoshua. But this is America where we speak English! Don't you think you guys would have a little sensitivity to the English speaking people. The English form of the name Yehoshua/Yeshua/Jesus is Joshua. Jesus is the Greek (and Spanish) form of the name. Bruce
