It is the 'sacred name' doctrine which claims the Saviour's name was lost since NOBODY used 'Yashua' until about the beginning of the 20th century.

So Jesus mother called him IESOUS? Gabriel commanded Mary to name her son with the name IESOUS? A Greek name?

There was never a HEBREW NAME FOR THE LORD?

Sorry, since nobody "except Jews" called him Yeshua. Everybody else on the planet called him by his name IN THEIR LANGUAGE. Iesous, Jesus, Jesucristo, Yesu, etc.

The fact remains, the apostles never taught Gentiles to call him Yeshua. His name was preserved by Divine Ordinance in GREEK.

Yes we know the names of all the world leaders, but we don't pronounce them in the language of origin. We pronounce them in English.

So I guess we should really be calling him Jehoshua, Joshua.

Did you hear that? The Lord's NAME is not "...wonderful,
counselor...", etc.; rather, it's what we shall find in His
NAME! When we dare to call upon His NAME, we will find
the wonder and the counsel; we'll find the Mighty God, and
the Everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace! We will
discover ALL His promises given to the prophets for the
Jews by Je-hovah (Ya-weh) are now fulfilled in the NAME
of Je-sus (Ye-shua). Or have we forgotten:

"...for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given
among men, whereby we must be saved,:

Not so, the prime minister of Israel is called Netanyahu he is not called Nathaniel.

So yes we do pronounce them in the language of origin.

I've never heard an American call him Benyameen, though...

We call Kaiser Wilhelm "Wilhelm" not "Vilhelm". We call Adolf Hitler "Aydolf" not "Ahdulf".

We call Moses "Mozes" not "Moyshuh".

Why not write the Saviour's name in Hebrew, too? After all, that's how it was originally written, right?

BTW, it would be Netanaiaha not Nathaniel.
