yeshua

The anglicized Jesus Christ is latinized as Iesus Christus, hellenized as Iesous Christos, aramaicized as Yeshua Mshiha.

Just knowing that a preacher man named Yeshua lived in the ancient Judea 2000 years ago is really unsatisfying.

His name was probably originally יֵשׁוּעַ, and should therefore have been Yeshua to us users of the modern day Latin alphabet.

He had me believing his name Joshua or in Hebrew Yeshua aka Jesus.

Does it matter, ultimately, if a Yeshua existed at the center of the surviving cult and was executed, the only factual detail of any significance?

He’s been in the job five years — and is starting to get the hang of it — when the Yeshua Ben Yusuf file lands on his desk.

But that there was a Jewish rabbi named Yeshua or Jesus who came from Nazareth, was baptized, preached in the Holy Land, and was crucified under Pontius Pilate.

Yeah, from what I understand, it's generally accepted that some rabble rouser called Yeshua existed, and later had followers who considered him to be holy.

There's a reasonable case to be made that Yeshua bin Yusuf was one of the more successful apocalyptic prophets in that time and place considering how much of his teaching comes down to us.

Many tales in the Bible can be correlated with history, especially the parts that take place in the Roman Empire (even the existence of Yeshua ben Yosef), but correlation doesn't prove the spiritual elements.

We know there was a guy named Yeshua from both Josephus and references in the Talmud, and they fit the general picture of the Gospels (keeping in mind that the authors of the Talmud were obviously not favorable to him).

In the New Testament, the governor actually asks the crowd "do you want a pardon for Yeshua or Yeshua Bar Abbas", Bar Abbas meaning son of Abbas, a common naming convention.

Jesus ("Yeshua") was the single most common name among Jews of the time, with numerous examples noted in Josephus.

Thanks for contributing nothing that a basic Google of "Jesus Yeshua" wouldn't have.

Lots of cults of the time "had" a Jesus/Yeshua.

It's worth noting that Messianic Judaism is an offshoot that holds that Jesus (Yeshua) was who he claimed.

They also got Shabbat and Yom Kippur off (I wonder if the summoning ate into Yeshua's break time.) The Talmud is fascinating but pretty wacky.

Yeshua ben Yosef is basically ignored in favor of other historical, and explicitly allegorical, figures.
