By Apostle Nazareth H. Machon

Why do I use the name Yeshua HaMachiach? In the first I also want to reach the people of Israel The original spoken name in Hebrew of Jesus Christ is Yeshua HaMashiach The apostle Paul wrote the letters to the Greek's in Greek language, in a way the Greek can pronounce the name in their native language. This is written like this: ΚΥΡΙΟΣ (Lord) ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (Jesus) ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ (Christ) Paul had to find a way to make the Greeks able to speak and to understand the name. Our bible is translated from the original Greek; I am talking of the KJV into English or German as by Martin Luther in Eisenach on the Wartburg. ΚΥΡΙΟΣ ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ translated into English gives Joshua (1st Kings 13:2 Josiah). If we speak ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ in English as the Greek pronounce it would sound "Iesous Christos” Jesus the anointed one. The translators had to find the way for the pronunciation of "Iesous Christos" into the English way Jesus Christ. It all means Yeshua HaMeshiach.

In German language we say Jesus Christus; speake it in English like Yesus Christus u not as you but as u like undertaking. The English speak the J hard we in Germany soft. In Swahili language (Tanzania) Yesu Kristo, Filipino language Panginoong (Lord) Hesukristo (Hesu -Jesus; Kristo - Christ). When we look at the pronunciation of all translations, it comes close to Yeshua just in our way of tongue. There is nothing wrong in using Jesus Christ, Panginoong Hesukristo, Jesus Christus, Yesu Kristo it is one name spoken in different dialects of the ability and tongue of the different nations but meaning one name Yeshua HaMeshiach. Peter in Greek Πέτρος (Petros) in German Peter (spoken e like elevator) meaning the same name just spoken in the tongue of the people. Peter is called by Jesus Simon by the Jews Shimon, Jesus called him Cephas. (Rock) In Filipino Pedro as well in Espaniol. There are bad teachings that Yeshua HaMeshiach must be used by all people and some even burn their bibles because it is written Jesus Christ, not having knowledge of the way of Language.

If these teachers insist on Yeshua HaMeshiach, then they must insist on speaking all names in the Hebrew way and even as the Muslims having the Quran only allowed in Arab language, were the maturity of the Muslims cannot read; us then having only a Hebrew Bible and preaching only in Hebrew language. Who then will understand the Gospel? There are names we are not able to speak out the Hebrew way. If the apostle Paul writes already ΚΥΡΙΟΣ ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ, is he then an outcast a liar a false apostle? No, he in the translation was inspired by the Holy Spirit when He wrote to the Greeks.

Be aware of false teachers. The Book of Acts gives us an example of how to examine doctrines and teachings given by man.

Acts 17:11 They searched the Scriptures day by day to check up on Paul and Silas' statements to see if they were really so.

Do so when you hear strange teachings.

This is when Jesus says, go the extra mile!
