Is It Wrong To Call Jesus Yeshua?
Some on this forum cant bear Jesus being called Yeshua. My poll question is does it bother you when someone calls the Messiah "Yeshua"?

Re: Is It Wrong To Call Jesus Yeshua?
It makes no difference to me. For some, it's a red flag.  Today you say "Yeshua" and tomorrow you're wearing a kippah.

Re: Is It Wrong To Call Jesus Yeshua?
If you are a Hebrew and you speak, read and write Hebrew, have at it! If you do not - then why on earth would an English speaking person use it. His name in English is NOT Yeshua or Yoshua or the hundreds of ways that someone could say it is or pronounce it.
I have heard all the arguments and about the LETTER J and it all just seems so overboard. I keep saying when approached with it all - What is the POINT of it? We speak English and I am not going to learn Hebrew and start baptizing in a Hebrew name and get all weird about it. I have been around weird most of my life and I am tired of WEIRD!

Re: Is It Wrong To Call Jesus Yeshua?
Basically, why bother? It appears elitist.

That is what most of us have tried to get away from an elitist and sectarian movement. These guys get on the radio here in Atlanta that were "Apostolic" and they sound like two hillbillies from the sticks that do not have an ounce of education and scream and yell about that JESUS means a DOG and the J word was not even invented 400 years ago and all kinds of absolutely crazy and weird things about YESHUA and now they are fighting about how to pronounce it or spell it and it is just WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD!
The truth is - they get weirder and people that get into all that get weirder all the time.
Come on guys - Get away from WEIRD!

It only concerns me because often those that use it are the same ones that insist it's wrong to say "Jesus"

Agreed. And if MTD does not think it is wrong to say JESUS, then why not get away from the appearance of that and say Jesus as much as Yehshua?

I think I brought that up before. For some reason MTD does that. He will stop saying Jesus and start saying Yeshua. Im not sure why
