Yeshua or Jesus?

[Krostandt]

[quote]hmm what i dont get is that His name's so important we cant use it in vain but sure lets just change it because we don't feel like pronouncing it right[/quote]

Actually, it's more like it can't be pronounced correctly.
For example, there is no "sh" in Latin. Thus Yeshua becomes Yesus or rendered Iesus. Why the -us, ending? -a is often for a woman, and contrary to modern scholars Jesus was not a woman.
Another example. My Russian friends call me another name than my English name. Why? Because they don't have the ability to pronounce the English sounds. Do I mind? No, I like it and I feel as though I'm closer to them. Likewise, I'm sure Jesus feels closer to us.
This whole "Yeshua is better" idea is absolutly ridiculous.

I believe the proper and offocial name of God the Son is Iesus, pronounced "Yay-soos". I believe that is His proper and offocial name because it is His name in Latin and Latin is the language of the Church. Because the God (speciffically the Holy Ghost) guides the Church the Holy Ghost must have chosen Latin to be its languange and "Yay-soos" to be the offocial pronunciation of God the Son! because all churchy things (bibles, missals, canon law books, Papal Bulls, etc.) should be translated from the Offocial Latin, Iesus is translated rightfully as Jesus. The Holy Ghost guides the Church, right? so the Holy Ghost must have wanted it to be this way.

just a question regarding this... is Latin the offical language of ALL the rites of the Catholic Church? Say the Greek Catholics, or Eatern Catholics? Greek seems to have had just as much role in the Church as a whole as Latin did...

Think of all the money wasted on W.W.J.D. bracelets. It's a tragedy.

LOL. And if we took ThomasMore's advice up above, it would be WWID.

Um, it's not about what "I" would do.

I hope you're being sarcastic. His name is however Jesus is translated into the langauge you're speaking. Call him Jesus, Yeshua, Iesus, Iesous, Isusu, Ye-Su. . They're the same person. When St. Peter and Paul baptize thousands, they did not do it in Latin, or Hebrew, but the language of the people. Again, to say otherwise is ridiculous, historically inaccurate, and boardering in heresy. (Remember the doctrine of "Three Holy Langauges" was condemend, although speculations do exist of theologuma). Still though, This thread is silly.
As William Shakespeare said, "If we call a rose by any other name would it smell as sweet?" "If we call Yeshua by any other name would he still bestow his grace?"
Of course he would.

[PadreSantiago]

ok then from now on i will refer to god as "Me"

[Krostandt]

That's the modernist Liberalism idea!

I am not saying that if you call God the Son Jesus, or Iesous or anything that God the Son will not hear you! I was saying that the name "Jesus" was the perfect English word for the Latin word "Iesus" because it is so much like it! I was saying that I just think the offocial way to say the name of God the Son is "Iesus"

[Era Might]

Call him Yeshua, call him Jesus, call him Lord, call him Christ. Whatever. It's all the same.

Heck, most Jews had multiple names. Saul/Paul. Simon/Cephas/Peter.
