But when did the letter J become part of the alphabet? (Jesus)

Yahshuah or Yeshua or Yashua or Y'shua are all variations of the Hebrew spelling of the name of Our Messiah. The transliteration in English is actually closer to Joshua than Jesus (See various translations of Hebrews 4, some use Jesus some use Joshua).

There is some proof that Jesus is closer to a transliteration of the name of the top Greek god Zeus. You will have to do a web search because I do not have the sites in my bookmarks.

The letter J became a part of the alphabet after the Roman Empire if memory serves me correctly.

Yeshua Ha Meschiach = Jesus the Messiah

Yahushua, Yahshuah, Yeshua, Yahshua, Yehoshua are all acceptable Names for the "Hebrew" Messiah from the tribe of Yahuda. Yahushua means Yahuweh saves. This is the Yehudi (Jew) we all must follow, the King of all Yisrael.

In other words, Messiah was not of Greco-Roman descent bearing the Greek name "Jesus Christ." Grecizing a Hebrew Messiah gives us a Greek philosophical spirit, style; a Greek Platonic philosophy that professes a non-specific love. Therefore, if one "thinks" "Jesus" is the Messiah, then he "believes" He is the Messiah; and that this mere "thought-belief" will save one. But notice what this says: Platonized Greek philosophy tells us that as long as we "think" "Jesus" is the Messiah, then there are no rules of conduct. Thus, "believers" can indulge in idol worship, flout His Commandments, and do whatever they feel like. Meanwhile, the "State," in cahoots with the papacy, determines public- policy, appointed times and laws for the people to follow. As long as one professes a non-specific "Christian love," nothing else matters.

In absolute contrast to this, a Hebrew (Yehudite; Jew) understands that if one's "belief" DOES NOT LEAD TO RIGHT CONDUCT, then one's "belief" is not truly complete: and therefore one does not truly believe. Hebraic thought tells us that a "thought" that Yahushua is the Messiah is unable to save us. Rather, true belief requires us to "demonstrate" our belief in Yahushua by obeying His Commands: And it is this "obedience" to His Commands that shows our faith, our love; just as actions speak louder than words.

This confuses the Christian. "Christian Replacement Theology" teaches that "Jesus" came to nail the Law to the cross: And if the Law is thus "nailed," then there should be no more Commandments for the believers to obey. This is a clever and brilliant work that could only come from the Adversary. Well.. is it true? Did Yahushua come to abolish the Law? Or is such "Lawlessness" a myth that has perpetuated itself over the centuries, buoyed along by wishful thinking, and a failure to understand and grasp key idiomatic Hebrew concepts and words? See Matthew 5:17-19; Malachi 3:6; Jeremiah 31:36, etc.

But when did the letter "J" become part of the alphabet?

I am not exactly certain "when," but I have in my possession a 1607 New Testament, again translated out of the Greeke, by Theodore Beza. In this work there is no "J." In fact, "Jesus" is spelled three different ways throughout it contents: iesvs, iefus and iesous. Of course "satan" (hasatan) is left intact throughout this version.

But consider Iesous, rendered as "Jesus" in English versions up to now (http://www.messianic.co.za/). For example, the authoritative Greek-English Lexicon of Liddell &Scott, under iaso: the Greek goddess of healing reveals that the name iaso is ieso in the ionic dialect of the Greeks, iesous being the contractive genitive form! In David Kravitz, Dictionary of Greek and Roman Mythology, we find a similar form, namely "iasus." There were four different Greek deities with the name of iasus, one of them being the son of Rhea. Further, it is well known that "ies" is the abbreviated form of the name "iesous," and Dr. Bullinger, in The Apocalypse, p. 396, says "ies" was part of the name of Bacchus! See also Come Out of Her My People by C.J. Koster.

THE NON-ORIGINAL, SUBSTITUTE NAME "JESUS," TRACES BACK TO SUN-WORSHIP.

And the Vatican scribes have done this on purpose for their indepth hatred of the Hebrew language and the Covenant (Maritial Contract) that Yahuweh made with all Yisrael (Jews & Messianic Jews); and they know exactly what they have accomplished with "Christmas" as well:

"The well-known solar feast of Natalis Sol Invicti, the nativity of the unconquered sun, celebrated on 25 December, has a strong claim on the responsibility for our December date."

Yeshua = Jesus, the Messiah and Savior

Yeshua the word for salvation in Hebrew. Jesus is from the Greek and is the name given to the Son of God by order of God through Gabriel. His name is to be called Jesus because he will be a savior to his people.

Mat. 1: 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Yah, who we all agree is God, The one riding the heavens on a horse, in the Old testament, the same one in the new testament on the horse with a name written we know in Revelation. Shua, which we all agree is salvation, and finnally prayer, and asking God the creator what his name is, and hearing his name, understanding his name is He is salvation, his purpose for us, our savior and redeemer, then conclusively His name is for my salvation, and I will bow my heart, soul and body before Him, and confess his name. pronounced to me. thanks, fred rhine
