I'm very sorry everyone, but I have bad news. Linguistics seem to point at Jesus being a Josh.

What does it matter? 🤷
It wouldn't matter to a Christian................................ so I don't know why that would matter to non-Christians! :)


The Bible doesn't give instruction to favor one language or translation over another. We are not commanded to call upon the name of the Lord in Hebrew only.
Acts 2:21 says, "But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
God knows who calls upon His name, whether they do so in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Hebrew or any other language.
He is still the same Lord and Savior.

Below is a list of how the name Jesus is pronounced in other languages:

Jesus or Yeshua? - Yeshua is Salvation

Where does the name ‘Yeshua’ come from? Don’t most people call him ‘Jesus’? The name Yeshua is the literal Hebrew word for Salvation, is a shortened version of the name Yehoshua or Joshua

Lol - complicated indeed! Your video is making such complication out of nothing! 😁
 
The Hebrew name Jehoshua and its shortened form Joshua mean “Jehovah Is Salvation.” Luke here uses its Greek equivalent, I·e·sousʹ. The Latin form of the same name is Jesus (Iesus). (See App. A4.) This was a common name among Jews in Bible times. In the Christian Greek Scriptures, four people referred to by the Greek name I·e·sousʹ are mentioned: Joshua, the son of Nun, the successor of Moses (Ac 7:45; Heb 4:8); an ancestor of Jesus Christ (Lu 3:29); Jesus Christ himself (Mt 1:21); and a Christian, evidently Jewish, who was one of Paul’s fellow workers (Col 4:11). Josephus mentions several others, besides those in the Bible record, bearing that name.
