Hi DavidJ, and thanks for responding to this.
If my question was somehow difficult to understand, is partly because of me. My English in writing, well… Not quite perfect, honest, and too, I for sure use it more a poetical way. I write poetry. Sorry! And now, here is the answer to your argument...
You wrote that because you are none a Jewish-Christian you understand that: "
Jesus" is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua... and all the rest in this content. All this is quite correct... 100%.
But by this let me express the necessity of one point: Names as Jesus or Joshua, or as Jehoshua, are JEWISH, as both I and you as well with the rest know;
and are the Greek forms of Hebrew... which was originally Hoshea (Oshea) (Numbers 13:8, 16).
I have to extend fare more the text you’ve brought up in here:
…
After the Exile it assumed the form Jeshua, from which came the Greek form Jesus…
Yes, truth, no less no more to say about it. But let me explain by adding this.
After the Exile.., means what you should know, but you don’t! After the exile demands knowledge of
“What did happened during the Exile… is the reason which had made this fact come into life! This must be understood before the picture in..
Why the form JOSHUA, from which came the Greek form JESUS… can by seen as the truth – on the basis on what had happened…
AGAIN… and this is quite important to have it all correct in mind. Because you see, in the next the solution for this appears in a full speed. In a quite sophisticated form. Means: one must have the entire Scripture texts in mind all the time.
Mainly is about…
the SALVATION which comes from JEWS,
always from Jews only, the truly salvation, the purest and cleanest form of it-, is what we all know. Is what the Scripture says. Means: any other views with differences will falsify the understanding. Will only make it worse and mislead true comprehension, make it quite impossible. Such a choice leads all those and everyone following them right out of the road and out of the truth.
Here I give you the correct answer related to the last picture expressed in words. To what these words in the Scripture says and talked exactly about… Which actually at the same time explain as most by clearing up any wrong ideas and misunderstandings you still may have within your mind. Is in reference to the last argument below-, and your own and quite opposite of my own understanding of this - in the text from the Scripture.
I quote:
An angel told Joseph (his foster-father), "
You are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21).
You see, HIS PEOPLE aren't JEWS the way you all have in mind, because those are Jewish GREEKS, because HE is in the name JESUS as a call, that name which itself is from Hebrew. Yes, HE is a JEW – and HE is the One who will SAVE HIS PEOPLE, Greek Jews, Jewish Greeks, Jews who spoke & read Greek… as the text says;
…
he will save his people from their sin... (This should explain the entire reason, but not if you don’t know what “Greek Sin Was” at that time).
Back to
HE is a JEW - as a SAVIOUR - in this picture, is for the speaking Greek language, reveals how deeply of pure linguistic matter it was and still is. But how many knows and how many speaks about it? Never those who never comprehend, those who do one thing; look up to heaven and pray for reaches to be send down to them… Ha, this was just a truly true joke, and not even bloody one.
By the way; before anyone dream of what and how looks Christ in their own minds, what visions those see, all those are wrong and never are correct. The prime dilemma all believers have, the Big Problem they don’t even know about, never recognize, won’t ever comprehend, is about the Hebrew identity Messiah, which is the original name. The only way to know it is to start from the beginning to learn all about, with no mistake during the learning process. The main supreme object is Messiah. In this name all the powers of goodness make the entry. In that name stays the knowledge of what true SAVIOUR (in Greek) should possess. Within that only name: Messiah – the after-name Joshua as first rests!
What about the languages? While in Judea at that time Aramaic was used, both Greeks and Romans spoke Greek, and those among Romans who could, other wrote and spoke Latin and other languages. The Roman Army was on international made army with people speaking many different languages.
But mainly – all in all; it was about 3 languages only. Hebrew & Aramaic, Greek, Latin…
And that's why the text you’ve used I quotation, and I appreciate very much, because you’ve picked up the essentials which are giving highly unexpected explanations as well, those you didn’t know about. I’m aware of the way you think, because theological views, as wrong as they are, are everywhere, in almost any books to find. According to such falsified pictures everyone who is a Christian in faith is a doomed slave, because of it, and when the same way of thinking follows when trying to answer impossible contents, it had left the reason itself…
Now, by the ending moment of this interesting text-story, I happily will use it back to you by asking you to tell me who..., but first I quote:
An angel told Joseph (his foster-father), "You are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21)
Who exact was the ANGEL who told Josef such ordering words?
And what SIN the Greeks had?
Take all the time you need. And you will need a lot, but I already know that you truly love to READ, and should do so. And please, remember; when you’ve done and have found out, come back here and tell me this... All the others in a meantime may learn a lot from this as well.
Shalom…
