What sounds closer to you.....Jesus and Zeus or Jesus and Yahushua?
1) In Greek, names that end in an "a" sound are typically female, while names that end in an "os" or "us" are typically male. Yahushua - "ua" + "us" = Yahushous
2) The Greek language has no "sh" sound like Hebrew. The sound of "s" typically replaced the "sh" sound. Yahusous - "sh" + "s" = Yahusous
3) Since about 400 AD, Hebrew scribes tried to hide the name of YHWH so that it "would not be blasphemed." Whenever they could, they changed the vowel sounds in his name. "YaHuWaH" became "YeHoWaH." Yahusous - "Yahu" + "Yeho" = Yehosous
4) The Greek "Y" makes a different sound from the Hebrew "Yod," so the "I" was used. Yehosous - "Y" plus "I" = Iehosous
5) The "ho"is barely vocalized, so it was dropped. Iehosous - ho = Iesous.
so the book of Joshua should have been the book of Jesus if this was the case. Oh that's right they have a book of Romans....
. Romans hated the Christians.
