Sadly, there is a great controversy in Christian circles regarding the name Yeshua or Jesus. As with other false teachings, the effect on Christians is always unsettling at best.
Vicious Attacks Against The Holy Name Of Jesus
The vicious and ludicrous attacks against the holy name of Jesus need to be demolished and such becomes easy to do when the Christian realizes the Yeshua people do NOT go by the Bible! It is a fact that there are NO SCRIPTURES that ever identify the Savior as Yeshua! NONE! Furthermore, though the Holy Spirit had the New Testament written in Greek, with a few Aramaic (or Hebrew) words listed here and there, NONE of those words are Yeshua! For example, we see ephphatha (Mk. 7:34), eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani (Mat 27:46), etc.
The Final Nail In The Yeshua Coffin
Last but not least, in John 19:19,20 the final nail in the coffin is driven in deep with the fact that the sign on the cross of Christ above his head was written in three languages, including Aramaic (or Hebrew), yet the Savior’s name remains the same. When it is transliterated from Greek into English it is again J-E-S-U-S, as in all other cases. End of discussion. Dear Christian, don’t be reluctant to use the holy and precious name Jesus for the Savior. You are being Biblical to do so. Look to JESUS for salvation; He is eternal life (1 John 1:2).
