The Name of Jesus (pbuh)............... why dont people call Jesus {pbuh}in his original name?

Question

well a lot of people say it doesn't matter ? this way it has changed the whole bible ,some time it is difficult to say which is God's word and which is historian's word ......i was reading it says God spoke to Moses ....moses spoke to God ...God spoke to Moses ..and so and so on and if this was word of God, than why it is not written in the bible that i spoke to Moses instead of God spoke to Moses.
my point was it is very difficult to judge what is word of God and what is word of historian ...

in the original scriptures name of Jesus is Eesa but today people dont even know ...
could some one please explain me.....thank you

Answer 1

Firstly lets clear up some confusion.

PBUH = Peace be Upon Him.

Jesus = Eesa.

The first point i would like to make is that Using Pbuh for jesus(eesa) is wrong as jesus has never died, he is due to return when the dajal comes to be on this earth. When Jesus does return he is going to slay the dajal and the earth will enjoy 40 years of peace thereafter and then jesus will pass away and die. therefore pbuh is not actually appropriate.

Secondly eesa is the arabic name for Jesus. I dont think there should be much doubt about which name to use as you are free to use any one of the two. Muslims Usually use eesa.

Whilst researching my response to your question i found a very intresting webpage which actually explains every detail of the question you are asking. Please read it at:

Answer 2

Actually, Yeshua is Aramaic and it is very doubtful that a Jewish couple would have given their son an Aramaic name instead of a Hebrew one. Even now, English speaking Jews more often give their kids Hebrew names than English or they do variations of both. Mary knew who and what Jesus was to be, she had been told by the angel what his name was to be. The first part of his name would therefore have had to begin with Yah... Most likely Yahusha or the like. And the Rabbi's have known this themselves all along. It is Jesus for the same reason many people call the USA by the name of American when in fact, Canadians, Mexican's and all members of the South American countries are "American's." It's the most commonly known form of his name.

If you want to look at the oringinal languages you will find God having many names so why not call Him by all of them? Jejovah, God, Father, Abba, to name just a handful. In some the name of God was considered so sacred it was not even to be mentioned or spoken at all. If you are the writer of a book that I am the one that puts the words down, what am I going to put in the place of your name? Will I say, "I spoke to George today about the table when you know that you are not the one that is actually doing the writing but someone is writing it for you in the way you are instructing me to? Would it not make more sense to tell who is talking to whom? And who said what? This is all it is doing here is telling the stories that was told to Moses and to the other writers but using their words or descriptions of what they saw rather than tell things that nobody would understand back then. If you had never seen an airplane, what would you call one if you saw it in vision? How would you describe it so others that were to read what you wrote would understand what it is? God knew what the words were to describe it but think of the millions that would not understand if God were to give all the words to use. There are many names for Jesus as well as God but isn't it more important to know what was done for us than to need to use just one term for Him to be saved? God, Son, Brother, Master, Teacher, Friend, Saviour. Just some of the names for Jesus so which should you use to be sure you will make it to Heaven? If that is more important than getting into Heaven, we are all in trouble, don't you think?

Answer 4

Yes I get your point!
You are asking that if the bible is the word of God why isn't it worded as if God wrote it, For example as "I spoke to Moses" written in the first tense rather than the third.
Most of these 'Holy 'books inc the Koran are messages given by God to Prophets and passed on to the people by the 'messenger'!
In the case of the new Testament bible its just a collection of works told about Jesus by his gospel writers, supposedly written by Mathew Mark Luke and John. Hence "And Jesus said" etc.
The problem here is we all know that non of these gospel writers actually wrote any of those stories, as to the actual name of 'Jesus' I am sure that I am not the only one that thinks he may not have existed at all, I'm certainly not convinced by anything I have read. Just as a matter of interest check it out for yourself, just type in Jesus exists? into your search engine, you will find many facts of interest, whatever the name he could have even been a terrorist, wanting the Romans out! ( An Essen)?
Sounds like a familiar story doesn't it?.
That probably answers the first part of your question? Which you may not like a lot!!!
The second bit you are not going to like at all, the bibles old and new testaments (in my opinion ) should not be looked upon as 'history' books, I could give you so many examples of why, that you would probably end up not knowing what to believe, and that really is not my intention! I would much prefer for you to suss it out for yourself.
But just as a brief example, this story of the birth of Christ......
His 'parents' were in Jerusalem for a cenus called for by Herod?
There was never any such census.Does that mean there was no Christ?
As a friend of mine once said "It was Christmas, no wonder they couldnt find any room at the inn".
Sorry if I have upset your apple cart a bit, but all these 'holy' books are very interesting, keep reading but read all of them, and if you still choose to believe in God then that does no harm, worship him as you will.
The harm is brought about by religious leaders, 'teaching' people that their particular brand is the one to buy.
AMEN

Answer 5

Yeshua is the original Hebrew proper name for Jesus of Nazareth, a Jewish Rabbi (and more) who lived from about 6 B.C.E. to 27 A.D. In other words, Yeshua was the name His mother called Him when shall called Him for supper.

Jesus is a mis-transliteration of the Greek mis-transliteration, Yeysu. (Some say the name Jesus probably developed from the name of the pagan god Zeus, but there is little or no evidence for this.) It is true that the Emperor Constantine mistook Jesus for the Greek god Apollo, but that is another story.

It is the most proper to call Him Yeshua, since only in the Hebrew does His name have any meaning. In Hebrew Yeshua means both "Salvation," and the concatenated form of Yahoshua, the "LORD who is Salvation." The name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English, except as it is known as His name in English.

Answer 6

The bible is the Word of God. Prophets of the LORD God wrote it. Jesus confirmed their books. Even Jonah & the whale. Jesus said that like Jonah was in the heart of the earth, so will the Son of Man be. That is when Jesus regained control of the keys to death & hell. Death could not keep Jesus in the grave since Jesus was with out sin. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. Jesus (Yeshua) is first born from the dead.

Isaiah prophesied of Jesus & called Him Emanuel in Hebrew, meaning God with us. A sign would be that Imanuel (Jesus) is born of a virgin (without sin nature, like the first Adam). He was named Yeshua (Hebrew meaning "He will save") because He will save His people. His name means Savior. Iasus means nothing in Greek. Jesus is translated from Iasus. So is a language translation according to letters they had. Greek didn't have Ys or Js at the time. Hebrew didn't have Js. All the Js in the Old Testament are actually Ys.

The original name of Jesus is Yeshua. There were no Ys in Greek so His name is Iasoos in Greek. Similar to Eesa. When Mohammed wrote Jesus as Eesa, it is the language of the time. Eesu is very similar to Yeshua. That means "He will save".

The Sacred name of the "I AM the LORD thy God One Lord", in ancient Hebrew, It is I (ANY) AM (HYH) the LORD (YHVH) the God (ELHYM) AM (HYH) One (EKD) LORD (YHVH).

Or I exist the eternal breath the Elohim (plural of ALYH) as One (United) Yahweh (eternal breath).

Answer 7

Are you Arabic?

OK. Let us look at this way. What do you call Moses, since you brought up Moses! Musa. Correct. The Arabs call Moses, Musa, not Moses. and they call Jesus, Essa or Yaswa, but no matter what names one use. Moses, Musa. Jesus, Essa, or Yaswaa. They are still the same person.
Muslims have 99 names for Allah. Does that make Him any different if they use any of those 99 names! No. He is still the same.

It is just translation.

Answer 8

The name of Jesus is Eesho in aramaic. The Greeks use to put an "S" in the end of every male name, so when the Christianism was spread to Greece, the name was pronounced Iisous (I don't know how to write it with the Latin alphabet, but you get the meaning).
The Romans would not pronounce the double "I" at the beginning of the name, so they change it to Jesus.
It is just question of pronunciation, I think

Answer 9

Since you were taught all these by your religion you deny what we believe. Since Jesus was pronounced as Eesa in Arabic you claim this.

Jesus was a Jew and his and Hebrew is the mother tongue of Jews. So the correct pronunciation is not Eesa but YESHWA.

Have not your Allah said he has cancelled the book of Jews and Christians? So don't bother about them. Its ok for us to follow a corrupt book.

Answer 10

His original name was "Yahoshoah", which is Hebrew for "Yahweh is my salvation." It was changed by the Greeks to "Ieosus" and then as time when on his name was made into a more Anglo name, Jesus. He has been called Jesus by Christians because his Jewish roots are often forgetten by Gentiles. Muslims call him "Isa," which is just their way of calling him Jesus.
