The angel gabriel said to Yosef, "You shall call Him Yahoshua, for He will oshua (save) His people." His mom called him Yahoshua, and so did the apostles, so who then is right? i would not like anyone to miss -prenounce my name so why should I do the same to Yahoshua, also its kinda important because there is no other name under heaven that we are saved, so is it Jesus or Yahoshua? your thoughts please.

So many times people dwell on the name and not what it represents. It is a figure of speech whereby the name is used for the authority and power represented by the name. Jesus Christ gave authority and power so when we are told to ask in his name, we ask with the power and authority he had.

To answer your question, Yahoshua is the Hebrew name for Jesus, so if you're a Masonic Jew you would be calling Jesus, Yahoshua or Jesus. As I'm sure that you will understand this.

It doesn't matte. He has many names, Emmanuel, Messiah, Savior (which I'm assuming Yahoshua translates to), Jesus, Lord, Prince of Peace, King of Kings. It does not matter. Think about it, do christians in China pronounce it the same as christians in Portugal? All these names translate from the Hebrew or Greek to mean Holy one.

Yahoshua is not definitely known to have been the correct Aramaic name. Yehoshua is the Latin-text rendering common to the Greek Septuagint, and Yeshua has equal credibility. Jesus is simply an English rendering.

Actually I pray to The Father in the Name of Jesus Christ, in the power of The Holy Spirit.
In the same way that a name like John can have many forms (Johannes, Jan, Ian and so on), so Jesus may be known by different names, or at least be pronounced differently. But, He knows who He is, so that is all that matters.

Never heard of Jesus being called Yosef or Yahoshua - and I go to church. We pray to God because Jesus was His son.

i pray to Jehovah through the name of Jesus, just because this is the usual English translations of the names.
Jehovah is also known as yahweh to others, much the same as Jesus can be known a yeshua in another language.
If my name was John, when i went to other countries they would call me, Yan,jean,or whatever each language translated it as,
same name,different way of saying it.

No! - it does not matter. All names belong to God and so do all forms. One God - many names, many forms. Try this - call Him Allah, Jesus, Krishna - it reaches the One source. What counts is the feeling and intention in your call.

The Bible tells us to pray in Jesus name

It's not the name that is important. It's what you intend and your meaning.
Paul tells several times of "praying in the spirit" and "in unknown tongues."
God knows what you mean. That's what is important.
