According to an article in this morning's Daily Mail, scholars believe that 'Jesus' would have gone by a name in his own native language of Aramaic which is nothing like our modern version. In fact, the name 'Jesus' even contains letters that weren't used in written language until 1,500 years after his death.
Throughout Christianity's 2,000-year history, Jesus' original name has been obscured by layers of translation and transliteration. Jesus' name travelled a long-linguistic road from his own Aramaic into Hebrew, then to Greek and into Latin before it could ever receive an English translation in the 16th century.

What the hell! You mean Jesus didn't speak English?
ReplyDeleteActually, His name was Yeshua Ben Joseph of Nazareth. Christ is a title.

ReplyDeleteNow start questioning the "teachings" that were NOT written by him, not even written down until long after he spoke them, translated into language after language, controlled by the most powerful political organizations on the planet at the time, censored/altered/selected by those same folks, etc. Just the choice of which gospels to ALLOW should tell you everything you need to know about the "quality" of the message with regards to divine understanding.
ReplyDeleteAnd to finish this off, the actual biblical name we use for Yeshua is Joshua.
