I have come across a couple of websites that have strongly stated that Christians all over the world are making a big mistake by calling God Jesus.They say it is a massive error in the Bible and that using "original" and unaltered scripture the name of Jesus is actually Yahuwah.They insist that Jesus is a pagan name introduced into the Bible and into Christian doctrine by Satan using corrupt officials of the Roman Catholic Church hundreds of years ago.Do you happen to know if there's any truth in this and websites I can go to find out more?

Jesus name was Easa and Gods name is Allah
Anti Islamic people will give em thumbs down but I dont care its true.

Even if you dont embrace Islam Jesus' name was still Easa because thats the Arabic and Aramiac way of saying it. He spoke those two languages.

According to Judeo and then Christian religious texts both before and after the Christian era, the term term 'Yahuwah' is a substitute name for the true name of God. However, the true name of God is supposed to be unknown and unutterable, so Yahuwah is used to identify the fact you are referring to God without actually uttering the true name of God (the Judeo-Christian one, anyway). Therefore, none of the names of God are errors. They are intentionally created so one does not transgress the rule of knowing or using the true name. Also, Jesus was the human aspect of God, so the person who was called Jesus was named Jesus--more or less. The only difference is that in the original aramaic/Hebrew, the pronunciation would be slightly different since we are using the Roman alphabet, not the arameic one. The stuff about Satan and paganism sounds like some half-baked consipiracy theory to me.

"Is the real name of God Yahuwah?"
- According to the Bible, YHVH is the "covenant" name (Exodus 3:14) which God gave to Israel which roughly translates from Hebrew as "I am" in English (and 'eimi' in Greek, also translated "I am" in English).

"I have come across a couple of websites...."
- Seriously, you can find websites claiming anything. I'm sure there are some run by people believing themselves to be God. The best advice is to check the original sources yourself (in the case, the Bible). Try www.biblegateway.com which allows you to search the Bible for yourself and with many different translations to choose from.

"...Christians all over the world are making a big mistake by calling God Jesus. They say it is a massive error in the Bible and that using "original" and unaltered scripture the name of Jesus is actually Yahuwah."
- As other posts have said, God is called by many names in the Bible, though the YHVH "I am" name held a special significance for Israel. The issue is less whether "Jesus" is the name of God, for almost no Christians--Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox--believe that "Jesus" IS God's name. They just believe that Jesus IS God, and thus in prayers, for example, they can address "Jesus" directly believing they are directly addressing God in doing so. (This gets into the doctrine of the Trinity---another discussion.) Most practicing Christians address God by the many names and descriptions directly stated in the Bible, not believing that any one name captures entirely the essence of God (in fact, most use multiple names/ titles, each capturing a part of that essence/ nature).

"They insist that Jesus is a pagan name introduced into the Bible and into Christian doctrine by Satan using corrupt officials of the Roman Catholic Church hundreds of years ago."
- We have ancient fragments of the New Testament dating back as far as 125 AD. We have direct quotations from the Bible preserved in early Church Father's writings dating back to 100 AD. The earliest complete stand-alone Bible copy is about 3rd century AD. None of these show later church "insertions" of Jesus as the name of God. All of the texts unanimously testify to a single tradition: that Jesus was believed by early Christians to be Son of God, Son of Man, the second person of a triune Godhead--thus fully God. One of the clearest texts stating this is Colossians 2:9,

"For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form."

Jesus was believed by them to be God in human flesh, fully God, fully human--a mystery, but yet a truth to be believed.

Whether you believe this is your choice. Whether this was believed by the first-century Christians (and captured in the Bible) and subsequently carried through the church up until today is not a matter of mere opinion but is a matter of historical and textual-critical fact.

You have two names confused.
The 0ld Testament name for God was YHWH which has erroneously been translated as Jehovah. The most likeky pronunciation was Yahweh,
Jesus is a latinisation of the Hebrew Y'Shua which means Yahweh liberates. It was used from very early in the Christian era.
I have heard of websites that believe the earth is flat!! Why not check facts before putting your question?

Yahuwah is his name, and yahuwshuwa IS the sons name, dont let others confused with their ridiculous, illogical explanations. you cant misspell a name when you translate it. First off, you're suppose to to transliterate a name, theirs a difference, and you are right his name does matter, just like your name and my name and anyone else's name matters. And the name was changed because of these scholars, what reasoning? who knows, but its something that he says would happen, and did happen, ex: psalms 74:18, also ezekiel 39:5, and also its important to know the one great commandment in deuteronomy 5:11. good luck and continue in the path of truth.

actually if you want to call jesus by his hebrew name it is yeshua, but jesus is the english translation of yeshua.

the hebrew word for God's name is either yahwey or jehovah. jehovah is the preferred as it is familiar over the generations among many peoples of different languages and because it uses all the letters as written in the orignal scrolls, the name of God was abbreviated by removing the a e i o u letters, so these were replaced by hebrew translators as Jehovah..

it fit better the context then yahweh.

RRRR

YAHUWA is one of the NAME of GOD but YAHUWA is not refer to JESUS as Jesus is not God.

The BIG MISTAKE is not the NAME of JESUS but being worship JESUS as GOD instead of worship to the real GOD who is refer by many-many NAMES because there were SO MANY LANGUAGE in this world.

Therefore the same GOD and the ONLY GOD was refer with the NAME according to the language of the people who believe GOD.

i am a christian and i think christians who make a big deal over a name need to get their priorities right. it's what's in the heart when you call him god or jesus that he responds to. i'm sure all over the world christians are doing things that don't have the right background or origin or that are not rooted in the correct christian history or whatever, but it doesnt matter. you need to get your heart right and live your life right and know who he is when you call his name adn that's more important.

The bible is true. God is God and Jesus is God's only begotten son there is none other. I would focus less on the websites and more on your Bible.

that is based on an old hebrew name of god, the hebrew letters YHVH, without vowels. no one knows how to pronounce it, but people have tried jehovah and yahweh. both are wrong.
jesus is not god either, jesus is the son of god, only god is god.
but don't get hung up on names. don't worship the names.
