Who is Yeshua?

Answer 1

You know what's crazy? Jesus' name was Joshua.I told that to a pal and he freaked and thought i was starting a cult.But it is.The Hebrew is Yshua,there are no "J"s in hebrew and no written vowels ,in Arabic a man named Joseph would be 'Youssef',translate yshua from Hebrew to English it's Joshua.In the New Testament the names go thru another change,because now you're translating from Hebrew to Greek to English.That's why in the King James version Isaiah becomes Esaias,and Elijah becomes Elias,the Greek for Joshua is 'Ioeus' which translates into English,Jesus.In the book of Hebrews in the NT it talks about Joshua (you know the Jericho guy)and calls him Jesus,if you didn't know why you could get confused(KJV).
That's also why we get the word 'Jehovah' spelled in hebrew without the vowels you get the "tetragrammatron" whichis YHVH or YHWH, Yahveh,or Yahweh,when God says I AM that I Am that's YHVH,that's why in John,when Jesus said "Before Abraham was,I AM(not was)" The Jews went nuts and tried to stone him.They knew what He was implying.That he was the great I AM of Exodus(He was you know)

Answer 2

Yeshu - A Talmudic Tale

A story about a man named Yeshu can be found in the Talmud. There is debate whether this Yeshu in the Talmud is the same Jesus who later became a Christian divinity.

According to the Talmud, Yeshu was the son of a Jewish woman named Miriam who was betrothed to a carpenter. "Betrothed" means she was legally married to him, but she was not yet living with him or having sexual relations with him. The story says that Miriam was either raped by or voluntarily slept with Pandeira, a Greek or Roman soldier. Miriam than gave birth to Yeshu, who was considered a "mamzer" (bastard), a product of an adulterous relationship. The Talmud describes Yeshu as a heretic who dabbled in sorcery and lead the people astray. Later, the Sanhedrin (the Jewish "Supreme Court") ordered Yeshu stoned to death and his dead body was hung from a tree until nightfall after his death, in accordance with the ancient Jewish punishment for heretics.

While some believe there is no connection between the Talmudic Yeshu and the Christian Jesus, others believe there is a connection. The main inconsistency between the Talmudic and Christian story is that during the time that Jesus was killed, the Romans ruled and the Sanhedrin did not have the power to impose the death penalty. Thus, some Jews believe that today's popular Christian ideas about Jesus are based on a melding of the Talmudic story of Yeshu and the historian Josephus' writing about Jesus, which included his execution by the Romans.
