YESHUA OR JESUS? WOULD YOU GO TO HELL FOR REFERRING TO HIM AS JESUS?
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ!
Please, take time to read the articles below, then give me your view point according to the holy scriptures!

"Yeshua or Jesus?
The Mis-Transliteration of a Greek Mis-Transliteration.
Yeshua is the original Aramaic proper name for Jesus the Nazarene, who lived from about 6 B.C.E. to 27 C.E. (A.D.) The word "Jesus" is actually a mis-transliteration of a Greek mis-transliteration. The Emperor Constatine even mistook Jesus for Apollo, the son of the Greek god Zeus. In Hebrew Yeshua means Salvation while the name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English whatsoever.
Yeshua Ben Yosef
It is most proper to call Him Yeshua. It was indeed his proper name, given to him by his parents, and only in Hebrew does this name have any meaning. In Hebrew Yeshua means both "Salvation," and the concatenated form of Yahoshua, is "Lord who is Salvation." The name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English whatsoever.
There are many Yeshuas that we read about in Biblical text and many are confused with the Yeshua who would later become the "Christ". The name Yeshua appears 29 times in the Tanach. Yehoshua (Joshua) of Nun is called Yeshua in Nechemyah (Nehemiah) 8:17. Yeshua is the name of the Cohain HaGadol (the high priest) in the time of Zerubavel in Ezra 3:2. It is the name of a Levite under King Hizkiyah (Hezekiah) in 2 Chronicles 31:15. There is even a city called Yeshua in the negev of Yehudah in Nechemyah11:26. Yeshua is also a shortened version of the word Yehoshua much like Bill is for William.
There are 7 other Yeshuas (Jesuses) in the Brit Chadashah. There is Elymas bar Yeshua in Acts 13:6. There is an ancestor of Yeshua HaMashiach: the son of Eliezar, the father of Er in Luke 3:29. In Rav Shaul's letter to the Colossians in chapter 4, verse 11, there is a Justus called Yeshua a fellow worker of Shaul. Josephus, the famous Jewish historian mentions 20 different Yeshuas (Jesuses), 10 of which are contemporary with Yeshua HaMashiach. All together, at least 50 Yeshuas from his time plus about 9 in the Tanach have been revealed from Biblical text and other literary sources.
Mis-Translating the Mis-Translation
Yeshua is a Hebrew name which has been transliterated into Greek as Iesous (IhsouV: pronounced "ee-ay-SUS"). The English "Jesus" comes from the Latin transliteration of the Greek name into the Latin Iesus. Now Greek has no "y" sound, but the Latin "i" is both an "i" and a "j" (i.e., it can have a consonantal force in front of other vowels), the latter of which is properly pronounced like the English "y" (which explains the German Jesu, "YAY-su")That is why we spell Jesus as we do, taking it straight from Latin, but we pronounce the name with a soft "j" sound because that is what we do in English with the consonantal "j".
The first letter in the name Yeshua ("Jesus") is the yod. Yod represents the "Y" sound in Hebrew. Many names in the Bible that begin with yod are mispronounced by English speakers because the yod in these names was transliterated in English Bibles with the letter "J" rather than "Y". This came about because in early English the letter "J" was pronounced the way we pronounce "Y" today. All proper names in the Old Testament were transliterated into English according to their Hebrew pronunciation via the Latin, but when English pronunciation shifted to what we know today, these transliterations were not altered. Thus, such Hebrew place names as ye-ru-sha-LA-yim, ye-ri-HO, and yar-DEN have become known to us as Jerusalem, Jericho, and Jordan; and Hebrew personal names such as yo-NA, yi-SHAI, and ye-SHU-a have become known to us as Jonah, Jesse, and Jesus. To further complicate matters, there was no letter "J" in the old English alphabet and the letter "I" was often used in its place. Often in early texts of the time, Jesus or Jerusalem would be spelled Iesus or Ierusalem.
The second sound in Yeshua's name is called tse-RE, and is pronounced almost like the letter "e" in the word "net". Just as the "Y" sound of the first letter is mispronounced in today's English, so too the first vowel sound in "Jesus". Before the Hebrew name "Yeshua" was transliterated into English, it was first transliterated into Greek. There was no difficulty in transliterating the tse-RE sound since the ancient Greek language had an equivalent letter which represented this sound. And there was no real difficulty in transcribing this same first vowel into English. The translators of the earliest versions of the English Bible transliterated the tse-RE in Yeshua with an "e". Unfortunately, later English speakers guessed wrongly that this "e" should be pronounced as in "me," and thus the first syllable of the English version of Yeshua came to be pronounced "Jee" instead of "Yeh". It is this pronunciation which produced such euphemistic profanities as "Gee" and "Geez".
Since Yeshua is spelled "Jeshua" and not "Jesus" in most English versions of the Old Testament (for example in Ezra 2:2 and 2 Chronicles 31:15), one easily gets the impression that the name is never mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures. Yet 'Yeshua' appears there twenty-nine times, and is the name of at least five different persons and one village in the southern part of Yehudah ("Judah").
In contrast to the early biblical period, there were relatively few different names in use among the Jewish population of the Land of Israel at the time of the Second Temple. The name Yeshua was one of the most common male names in that period, tied with Eleazer for fifth place behind Simon, Joseph, Judah, and John. Nearly one out of ten persons known from the period was named Yeshua.
The first sound of the second syllable of Yeshua is the "sh" sound. It is represented by the Hebrew letter shin. However Greek, like many other languages, has no "sh" sound. Instead, the closest approximation, the Greek sigma, was used when transcribing "Yeshua" as "Iesus". Translators of English versions of the New Testament transliterated the Greek transcription of a Hebrew name, instead of returning to the original Hebrew. This was doubly unfortunate, first because the "sh" sound exists in English, and second because in English the "s" sound can shift to the "z" sound, which is what happened in the case of the pronunciation of "Jesus".
The fourth sound one hears in the name Yeshua is the "u" sound, as in the word "true". Like the first three sounds, this also has come to be mispronounced but in this case it is not the fault of the translators. They transcribed this sound accurately, but English is not a phonetic language and "u" can be pronounced in more than one way. At some point the "u" in "Jesus" came to be pronounced as in "cut," and so we say "Jee-zuhs."
The "a" sound, as in the word "father," is the fifth sound in Jesus' name. It is followed by a guttural produced by contracting the lower throat muscles and retracting the tongue root- an unfamiliar task for English speakers. In an exception to the rule, the vowel sound "a" associated with the last letter "ayin" (the guttural) is pronounced before it, not after. While there is no equivalent in English or any other Indo-European language, it is somewhat similar to the last sound in the name of the composer, "Bach." In this position it is almost inaudible to the western ear. Some Israelis pronounce this last sound and some don't, depending on what part of the dispersion their families returned from. The Hebrew Language Academy, guardian of the purity of the language, has ruled that it should be sounded, and Israeli radio and television announcers are required to pronounce it correctly. There was no letter to represent them, and so these fifth and sixth sounds were dropped from the Greek transcription of "Yeshua," -the transcription from which the English "Jesus" is derived.
So where did the final "s" of "Jesus" come from? Masculine names in Greek ordinarily end with a consonant, usually with an "s" sound, and less frequently with an "n" or "r" sound. In the case of "Iesus," the Greeks added a sigma, the "s" sound, to close the word. The same is true for the names Nicodemus, Judas, Lazarus, and others.
English speakers make one final change from the original pronunciation of Jesus' name. English places the accent on "Je," rather than on "sus." For this reason, the "u" has been shortened in its English pronunciation to "uh."

In Jesus' Name
Today's tradition of pronouncing His completely hellenized name as "Jesus" has indeed obscured His true name, "Yeshua," and has shifted its perceived meaning much like most of His original teachings.
As with all things Essene however, there is always the exoteric and the esoteric philosophies and functions. That is, those ideas and teachings suitable to be imparted to the public, and those designed for or understood by the specially initiated alone.
Even His name, it would seem, became a part of this understanding. The name Jesus or Jesus Christ is often used in everything from idle conversation, to bumper stickers and jewelry, to enforcing false teachings, to justifying wars and political agendas, and is even used as a profanity. The name Yeshua however, has remained pure and holy, known and used only by those who would uphold His name and teachings in the highest regard and thus reserving His holy name for use only in spiritual matters and the most humbled and sincere of prayer and obeisances.

To the devout student, the proper name Yeshua is always implied.
It is our intention to reproduce all texts as they were originally written or, as they were originally translated.

"please read entire article in above link explaining why the true name of messiah is not jesus.
The "J" Conspiracy
Another VERY revealing bit of evidence can be seen from the fact that there was no "J" common in the English language until around the 16th century. Prior to that time, those words now shown with a J were pronounced as though the J was a Y. So "Joshua," even in English, is proven conclusively to be "Yahshua" when the original Y sound is used. Thus, it is IMPOSSIBLE for "Jesus" to be anything close to the true name, because the "J" sound did not exist when he was alive! Did you get that? The name "Jesus" is proven to be incorrect simply from the fact the word "Jesus" did not exist until only 500 years ago because there was no such thing as a J in the language! This fact alone PROVES "Jesus" is a false name!
Furthermore, as mentioned previously, there is a LOT of powerful and convincing evidence that shows the Greek name for Messiah, Iesous, may be derived from the name of a pagan deity! YES, "JESUS" IS A WORD WHICH MAY DERIVE FROM THE NAME FOR A PAGAN GREEK GOD! IT MAY GIVE HONOR TO A PAGAN DEITY! The aforementioned book, Come Our of Her My People, by C. J. Koster, provides a LOT of evidence of this as well as many other proofs of Christianity's pagan foundations. Of course, few Christians dare investigate these things for fear of what they may discover. Their fears are well founded since they WILL find ample facts proving Constantinian Christianity to be a counterfeit, Babylonian based. A religion that may represent part of Satan's plan to usurp God and establish himself as the recipient of mankind's worship.
Hellooo? Why are preachers intentionally discarding and censoring the true name for Messiah and using a false name that may honor a pagan god in its place?
Let me ask that again. Why are Christian leaders intentionally discarding and censoring the true name for Messiah, (Yahshua) and using a false name instead (Jesus). Worse still, the false name "Jesus" is a name for which very strong evidence exists showing it may honor a pagan god?
Scholars differ regarding the correct name of Messiah. Some say Yeshua is correct. Some say Yahshua is correct, and some say Yahoshua is correct. The fact is no one knows FOR SURE which is correct. HOWEVER, ALL REPUTABLE SCHOLARS AGREE "JESUS" IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT CORRECT.
Anyone that thinks the Jewish parents of the Jewish Messiah that were strong adherents to the Judaic principles and lived in a Jewish contextual setting would give their son a Greek name is lacking in common sense! Seriously! How can anyone be deceived to the point of thinking the HEBREW Messiah would have a GREEK name? Such a thought is preposterous!"

To All READERS:
If You believe in One God and we know that God is a spirit.The Apostle Paul said to the Corinthians:
13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2 Cor. 13-17
The Lord is that Spirit. verse 17
Now who was the Lord to Paul?
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Acts 9:3-5
Paul asked the Lord who he was. The Lord said I am Jesus. So Jesus is the Lord.
The same Paul said the Lord is that Spirit. What Spirit was Paul talking about? The context of Chapter 3 allows only one answer. The Spirit he speaks of is in verse 3.
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 2 Cor. 3:3
The Lord Jesus is the SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD!
Therefore if the Living God is God the Father Jesus is God the Father. For HE is the Spirit of the Living God.
If the Spirit of the Living God is the Holy Spirit then Jesus IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. For THE LORD IS THAT SPIRIT.
The entrance of his words give light. Allow it to shine on you.
There is ONLY ONE Spirit who is God. Not two or three.
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 1 Cor. 12:11
God is calling many to a change of theology. LOVE IN CHRIST DELLA MORTON

Let us reason the deity of Jesus from another angle. That is the doctrine of one Lord as presented in the New Testament.
We see this in particularly two places.
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 1 Cor.8:6
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Eph. 4:5-6
The Greek word for Lord in both passages is "kurios" meaning according to Youngs Concordance sir, or master.
The Greek word for God in both passages is "Theos" meaning according to Youngs concordance God,a god, object of worship.
In these two portions of scripture many people see a very clear cut separation between God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. They say it proves that Jesus is not God the Father himself.
Friends would you agree with me as I agree with the apostle Paul there is only ONE God the father? And would you agree with me as I agree with the apostle Paul there is only ONE Lord (Jesus) to us the believer? Good.
So for those who reject the docrine of "I and my Father are one" try this on for size!
Revelation 19
1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Get the point?
The Lord (Jesus)is OUR GOD!
We have seen there is ONLY ONE LORD. We know that is Jesus.
We know there is ONLY ONE GOD and that is the Father.
Yet now we see in Rev. 19:1 that the LORD is OUR GOD!
If Jesus (the Lord) is our God then he is God the Father for we see in the same 2 verses 1 Cor. 8:6 and Eph. 4:6 that the One God is the Father.
So it is a strong possibility that 1 Cor. 8:6 should be read like this:
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; EVEN one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
See the difference? Instead of having us focus of God the Father and Jesus as TWO it points us to believe they are ONE.
Are we actually to see the Lord and God as 2 very much separate beings? While there is a definite truth that a distinction exists between the deity and humanity of Jesus I believe the scripture ALSO upholds the truth that the Lord and God are ONE.
Notice:
29: And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Mark 12:29-30
So if Jesus HIMSELF connects whoever the Lord is with being God why would Paul in 1 Cor. 8:6 go out of his way to SEPARATE the Lord from BEING God?
So in this light it is most probable that Paul is using the Greek word "kai" for EVEN rather than for "and".
Not attempting to separate the Lord and God but to connect them together!
Friends would you agree with me as I agree with the apostle Paul there is only ONE God the Father? And would you agree with me as I agree with the apostle Paul there is only ONE Lord (Jesus) to us the believer?
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 1 Cor.8:6
The Lord is Jesus.
God is the Father.
27: Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28: And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. John 20:27-28
Jesus was the Lord of Thomas yet Jesus was also the God of Thomas!
If there is only one God and that is the Father as 1 Cor. 8:6 declares this should open our eyes!
If Jesus is Lord and God he must of necessity be God the Father. Paul says there is only one who is God, that is the Father.
Again the issue is if there is only ONE LORD to the New Testament Assembly then he is ALSO the one who is God the Father.
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 1 Cor.8:6
My assertion is that the second time the word AND appears it should be taken to mean EVEN.
The Greek word is the same for either. If it be taken as "and" it can be misconstrued to mean Paul is attemting to present The Lord as being separate from God, the Father. If taken as "even" it is simply identifying the one who is God as the Lord Jesus Christ.
Does it mean anything when Paul says there is only one Lord to us?
If so it opens up interesting possibilities.
8: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Rev. 1:8
Paul said the one Lord is Jesus.
The one Lord (Jesus) claims in Revelation 1:8 he is:
Alpha Omega
Beginning and End
The One who was and is and is to come
The Almighty
Oh friends if THIS IS JESUS how could he not be the ONE who is God the Father!
Now lets go here.
8: And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
9: And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
10: The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
In verse8 the heavenly beings are worshipping the one they recognize as the Lord God Almighty.
Paul said in 1 Cor. 8:6 there is only ONE GOD, the Father. So this must be HIM.
The heavenly beings then in verse 11 call the same one on the throne LORD.
Paul said only one is Lord and that is Jesus!
So evidently the same one in verse 8 who is the Lord God Almighty is the one who in verse 11 is Jesus.
Can you see? The one on the throne is Jesus. He is the Lord God Almighty. Verse 8 also supplies the info that he is the one who was, and is, and is to come!
We are able to understand this wonderful truth with the right understanding of 1 Cor. 8:6.
The doctrine of one Lord is as important as the doctrine of one God. In a way it is easier to see it from this viewpoint than the one God doctrine. Although when the dust settles it is really the same doctrine is it not?

Notice in these following verses that the Holy Ghost/Spirit is to come to the disciples yet it is Jesus who is the one coming back to live inside of them.
John 14:16-18 (KJV)
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (Note: In the original Greek reading this verse actually reads: "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another way to be comforted". [W. E. Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words - The word Comforter or Consoler corresponds to the name 'Menahem', given by the Hebrews to the Messiah, so every Jew at that time knew who and what that 'comforter' is and would be - Jesus Himself] and then in verses 18 and 28 we see what that other way is, it is Jesus in spirit form coming back to live within us. Remember in Hebrews 13:5 Paul speaking of the Lord, who we know is Jesus, quotes part of 1 Kings 8:57 "for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" and by these verses we see that Jesus never left us but lives in us via our own personal Pentecostal experience of Acts 2 as the Holy Ghost/Spirit.)
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. (Note: The word 'Saviour' here is the Hebrew word 'Yehoshua' and actually means 'Jehovah saves' and can properly be translated as the name Jesus for if you remember the name or word Jesus [Strong's Exhaustive concordance #2424 'Iesous' in Greek or in English would be 'Yahweh saves] means 'Saviour' so we see that the God of Israel is the Saviour/Jesus. The Greek word or name Iesous is translated ‘-Jesus’ 964 times, ‘Jesus’ 10 times and ‘him’ once in the KJV.
Zechariah 14:9 (KJV)
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

Wow! What a Bible Study that was. Amen!
Let me give a summary of what we've learned:
The 'NAME' of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost/Spirit or Comforter is Jesus Christ. To not know this truth is to not know He is the 'I am He' of John 8:24 the verse we started out with earlier on this topic.
John 8:24 (KJV)
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
And to not know that is to suffer the fate like those of Matthew 7:21-23 who 'used His name' but 'didn't know His name' as the single only name of the true God.
Trinitarians claims they know Jesus Christ but not if They don't use His Name in water baptism.
The trinity is simply not biblical.

The bible says that my people perish for lack of knowledge. In and of all purposes we should call God, Jesus, yahew ,Etc. At times we can become too ligalistic concering the Gospel. The bible says it is God's Desire that none should perish. The point is ,if by chance you don't know or call God by name. Yet you call on him from the Heart ,God hears you. Example a nomad who has never seen a bible ,prophet ,apostle etc.knows and desires to know God. He or she from the heart can simply say True and living God. I don't know your name But I accept you as my Lord and Saviour . I feel and know in My spirit , that God will accept that prayer
