jeff, to take a like from pastor hughes - "jesus 101" :) the name "jesus" is niether greek nor hebrew - keep in mind that the letter "j" is in neither alphabet - his real name is "iesous" in the greek and "iehoshua" in the hebrew - and because he was hebrew i think most of his home boys called him "iehoshua" - and in english it is "joshua" - the name "jesus" is the english translation for the greek of his name - which actually still sounds more like "joshua" then it is to "jesus" - the use of the name "jesus" came to be when the scripture was bring translated into greek from the original autograph :) jesus "real" name was most likely - "iehoshua ben yoseph" - or in english - "joshua son of joseph" pax jok --- Jeff Hallmark <bc_texan@...> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: john okeefe <jxpxus@...> > > > jesus (a greek name and not his real name by the > way - > > culture) was a jew - no doubt - but what does that > > mean? was he hasidic? orthodox? reformed? what > > > > oh really, how about Matt. 1:25 plus many more vss. > > > Jeff > -- > _________________________________________________ > FREE web-based email - http://www.BaptistMail.com > > > > > > > Powered by Outblaze > > -- > To unsubscribe, send ANY message to: > pastorsforum-unsubscribe@... > > "In essential things, unity; in non-essential > things, liberty; and in all things, charity." > ===== john o'keefe http://www.ginkworld.net __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
