Who is Jesus?

 

This seems like a silly question since everybody 
knows “Jesus” as the son of God. That is because 
all of the Bibles say it is his name.  

²⁰ But while he thought on these things, behold, 
the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a 
dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear 
not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that 
which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 
²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt 
call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people 
from their sins.

Unfortunately, the Bibles are all wrong!

According to experts, that is NOT the name of God’s son!

“It is interesting to note – that throughout his life – 
the one now known as Jesus Christ never did hear 
himself called by that name.” 
– “Man’s Great Adventure,” 
by Edwin W. Pharlow, professor of history, 
Ohio State University.

That is because God’s son was born of Jewish parents 
who did not know the Greek langauge.

“Jesus. That was a name given to him many years after 
His death. Rome wanted to remove any Jewishness from 
the new church. They eliminated His Jewish name and 
blended the name of Zeus in order to make it comfortable 
for all those who had previously worshipped the Greek 
and Roman gods. Since Zeus was the top god of their 
experience, attaching the name Ioesus (hail Zeus) to 
Yahshua – gave Him top priority in the worship hierarchy.”

What is Christ’s real name – his Jewish name?

“Jesus – In Hebrew it is the same as Joshua. 
In two places [Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8] 
in the New Testament it is used where it 
means Joshua, the leader of the Jews into 
Canaan, and in our translation the name 
Joshua should have been retained.” 
-Albert Barnes’ – 
Notes on the New Testament 
Notes on Matthew 1:21

What was that again?

(Joshua) Yahshua/Yahushua/Yahoshua, 
is the correct Name for the Savior. In all 
spellings and pronunciation, the Name is 
rendered to mean “salvation of YAH” or 
“YAH’S salvation/ (His) Savior.” The Name 
(Joshua) in its fullest translation means, 
“He (YAH) shall save His people. (Yah or Jah 
– is an abbreviation for Jehovah) (Just as 
Yeshua (Joshua) is an abbreviation for 
Yehoshuah or Jehoshuah) – (meaning – 
The Salvation of Jehovah – or Jehovah’s 
Savior).” 
-COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE, by C. J. Koster

“The name “Jehoshua” means the same as Joshua.” 
-Hitchcocks’s Dictionary of Bible Names  

What does the name, “Jesus” mean, in Greek? 

“It is known that the Greek name endings with sus, 
seus, and sous were attached by the Greeks to names 
and geographical areas as means to give honour to 
their supreme deity, Zeus.” 
-Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend 
Professor J. C. J. Metford

“Some authorities, who have spent their entire lives 
studying the origins of names believe that “Jesus” 
actually means – “Hail Zeus!” For Iesous in Greek 
IS “Hail Zeus.” “Ie” translates as “Hail” and 
“sous” or “sus” translates as Zeus. The English 
name “Jesus”, therefore, stems etymologically from 
“Jupiter-Zeus” the chief god of the ancient Greek 
Olympus.” 
-“Yeshua” or “Jesus” — Which? 
Biblical Research Institute;

Are the experts sure that God’s son is not named Jesus?

Jehoshua was the name given to Christ by 
his heavenly Father, Jehovah God. Many years 
after his death – Rome changed his name to 
suit their pagan heritage and to please their
pagan converts. “Ieous” was Greek for “Hail 
Zeus”, which was translated later into English 
as “Jesus”. And this error has continued to the 
present. “The name Joshua (Jehoshua) derives 
its greatest importance and highest sanctity 
from the fact that it was sacredly chosen as the 
name to be borne by the Messiah. This name was 
corrupted and altered in time into the name Jesus.” 
–Personal Names in the Bible
by Dr. W.F. Wilkinson, M.A.
Joint Editor of Webster and Wilkinson’s
Greek Testament: pages 342-343.

“The name that American Christians use 
for the Messiah is Jesus. This is a derivation 
of Iesus which is literally translated from 
Greek as ‘Hail, Zeus’. Using “SUS” at the end 
of the word is related to Zeus. When Constantine 
proclaimed Christianity as the state religion 
of Rome on his deathbed in 300 AD, he changed 
the names of the Roman gods to become names of 
Catholic deity and saints. It merged paganism 
with Christianity and distorted the Gospel 
message. Christ’s real name in english would
be “Joshua” (or Jehoshua) – the Messiah.”
– Vision Outreach Ministries 
KB Gunn & Anamcari  

“”Je-Sus”; “Je” (Ie) in Greek meaning “hail” 
and “Sus” (Zeus) meaning hail Zeus. The Greeks 
used the ending –sus in naming many of their 
towns to give homage to their main deity Zeus. 
Thus, by following modern traditions, 
we may actually be praising a Pagan God.”
– The Name of the Messiah
Torah Ministries

“The Hebrews called their coming Savior, the Messiah, 
Jahshuawah (Jehoshua). The disciples of the Savior 
accepted Him as such, and to them He was known as 
Jahshuwah the Messiah. The Greeks, however, rejected 
the Hebrew name, and called Him (IESOUS-Jesus) instead.” 
– The Origin of Christianity by A.B. Traina  

“In the 1611 KJ New Testatment the name Yahshua 
(Yehoshua) appeared originally wherever the Messiah 
was spoken of. Yehoshua means Yehovah’s (Jehovah’s) 
Salvation. Later the Messiah’s name was replaced with 
Iesus (Greek) which later in the 1600’s it became Jesus 
starting with the new English letter ‘J’ which was introduced 
at that time. Further, the Greek ‘Iesus’ comes from the name 
Zeus, the ruling God in the Greek pantheon.” 
-Gospel of The Kingdom True Names and Title 
Dr. Henry Clifford Kinley 1931 – Ohio USA  

Christ’s name (Jehoshua) is of Hebrew origin and is taken 
from the name Yehoshua, which in English is often translated 
as Joshua. Yehoshua, in Hebrew means “Yehovah Saves”. 
-Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance

Jehoshua was the name given to Christ by his heavenly Father, 
Jehovah God. Many years after his death – Rome changed his 
name to suit their pagan heritage and to please their pagan 
converts. “Ieous” was Greek for “Hail Zeus”, which was trans- 
lated later into English as “Jesus”. And this error has continued 
to the present. “The name Joshua (Jehoshua) derives its greatest 
importance and highest sanctity from the fact that it was sacredly

“Many people think that we are just trying to be different and make 
another cult, but let us examine the facts. It is admitted that the 
Saviour never heard himself addressed as Jesus Christ, not even 
when Greeks went to Philip and said, “We would see Yahushua” 
(John 12:20-21). The Greek proselytes knew him as Yahushua, 
and as the Messiah, for there is no other NAME under heaven, 
given unto men, whereby we must be saved. The name “Jesus” 
was never applied to the Saviour during His lifetime, nor for nearly 
300 years after His death and resurrection.”  

From: http://yahushua.net/nicolaitan.htm  

“This name of the true Messiah, was objectionable to the 
Greeks and Romans, who hated the Judeans (Jews), and 
so it was deleted from the records, and a new name inserted… 
Ie-Sous (hail Zeus), now known to us as Jesus.” 
-The Origin of Christianity by A.B. Traina  

“The plan of the Greeks was simple, they merely dropped the 
Hebrew terminology of names which referred to the Hebrew 
deity, and substituted the name, or letters, referring to the 
name of the supreme deity, Zeus.” 
-The Faith Magazine     Volume 69  

“JEHOSHUA Forgotten and corrupted. The name (Jehoshua) 
derives its greatest importance and highest sanctity from the 
fact that it was sacredly chosen as the name to be borne by

into the name Jesus.”

“The triumphalistic Church of Constantine was now effectively 
cut off from its Jewish roots. It would receive its sustenance 
from the Greco-Roman and pagan culture around it. It could 
no longer be truly biblically-based. The trend would continue 
to modern times.”

So who is Jesus – really?

 “The Church of Rome borrowed her doctrine of the 
Divinity of Christ from the pagans and the way they 
worshipped their pagan gods, as half human and half 
god. Their adoration of Jesus as a man-god was almost 
identical to their devotions to the ancient pagan gods.” 
-Pagan Origin of Partialist Doctrines 
By John Claudius Pitrat Published 1871

“The cult that arose in Babylon and spread its cult tentacles 
throughout the world was trinitarian (Two Babylons, by 
Alexander Hislop). At first, this doctrine was merely humanism, 
man making himself god. The first humanism trinity of record 
to be setup and worshiped as gods, was that of Nimrod, 
Simeramus, and Tammuz. These are in the Old Testament in 
the Canaanite language identified as Baal, Ashtoreth, and 
Tammuz. At the dispersion of the people at the Tower of Babel, 
this trinity doctrine of humanism was spread all over the world. 
Each religion of all the pagan religions held two common traits: 
1.) A trinity of gods and; 2.) These were in a form of human gods.”

Is it important to stop calling God’s son “Jesus”? 
Why should we call him by his actual name?

“For the Scripture says… ‘everyone who calls 
on the name of Jehovah will be saved.'” 
(Romans 10:11,13) (NWT)  

“For I have come to you in my Father’s name…” 
(John 5:43) (NLT)

…and that name is not “Jesus”. Jesus is an unimportant 
man-made Greek god.

“On that day of judgment,” says the LORD, “I will punish the leaders… 
and all those following pagan customs.” 
(Zephaniah 1:8) (New Living Translation)

The Son of God – Jehoshua Christ – has a mission…

29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven 
and destroyed them all. ³⁰ “It will be just like this on the day the Son of 
Man is revealed. 
(Luke 17:29-30) (NIV)  

37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the 
Son of Man. ³⁸ For in the days before the flood, people were eating 
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah 
entered the ark; ³⁹ and they knew nothing about what would happen 
until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at 
the coming of the Son of Man. 
(Matthew 24:37-39) (NIV)

Now we know that “Jesus” is an unimportant 
man-made Greek god.

How do Christians end their prayers to their God? 
With another unimportant god?

Amen

According to the online Encyclopedia Wikipedia:

Amun (also spelled Amon, Amoun, Amen, and rarely Imen, 
Greek Ἄμμων Ammon, and Ἅμμων Hammon, reconstructed 
Egyptian Yamānu) was the name of a deity, in Egyptian mythology, 
who gradually rose to become one of the most important deities in 
Ancient Egypt, before fading into obscurity.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amun  

“AMEN: In Egyptian Mythology, the mighty one (god) of life and procreation 
…later identified with the Sun-god as the supreme deity of Egypt, and was 
called ‘Amen-Ra’.” 
-Funk & Wagnalls Standard College Dictionary

ARE YOU SAYING “AMEN” – IN IGNORANCE?  

By ending our prayers in ‘amen’… one could very well ask, 
“Have we been misled to invoke the name of the Egyptian 
‘Sun-god’ at the end of our prayers?” 
-United Hebrew Congregation Charles J. Voss  

It is common to end a discourse on spiritual matters, (or end a prayer) 
with (the word) “Amen”. Few of us realize that the word ‘Amen’ is an 
Egyptian word. It refers to the Egyptian god of Thebes. The Hebrews 
adopted the word and it passed into Christian use as “Amen”. It is a 
petition for (the god – Amen) to fulfill our words. 
– MYSTIC GIFTS FROM ANCIENT EGYPT By 
Dr John Palo ; 1999  

The Israelite exiles from Egypt knew that Jehovah was not the same as 
the Egyptian god Aten, and so they presumed he must be the equivalent 
of the great State God of Egypt. It was decided, therefore, to add the 
name of that State-god of Egypt to all prayers thereafter, and the name 
of that Egyptian god was “Amen”. To this day, the name of Amen is still 
recited at the end of prayers in both Jewish and Christian religions. 
– Genesis of the Grail Kings 
by Sir Laurence Gardner; pg. 6  

Finally, we may note that the word “Amen” occurs in gnostic spells… 
especially of Egyptian origin, and a sort of magical efficacy seems to 
have been attributed to this word.. The practice of answering “Amen” 
at the end of prayers appears in the Canons of Hippolytus (No. 146) 
and in the Egyptian Church Order (p. 101).

When we did it in ignorance, maybe God looked past that. But now that 
you know the truth, what will you do? Will you continue to use the name 
of a pagan god to close your prayers? Is it too hard to change that now? 
Because you’ve been using the ‘amen’ tradition for a long time – will you 
rationalize and justify why you keep on invoking the name of the Egyptian 
god, Amen? Will you find a pastor or teacher to reassure you that “it’s okay 
to say ‘amen’ – Or will you give thanks to God for revealing His truth and stop 
using the name of a pagan god?” 
-And they all Said, “AMEN” 
by J.D. Roberts  

No other “god” of the Egyptians has left so indelible a stamp upon the world – 
as this First Father of the Egyptian gods, known as Ammon, Amon and Amen 
which means “THE ONE HIDDEN WITHIN,” Amen’s spell is so mighty that over 
twenty centuries after his last Sanctuary was abandoned to the desert sands, 
every Judeo-Christian prayer that is uttered  – still whispers his name in closing.

…this is what was said through the prophet Joel, “And in the last days,” God says… 
everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”

Why is it important to eliminate the gods “Jesus” 
and “Amen” from our worship of Jehovah?
