But, my name or your name in another language would sound different or sometimes even be spelled different. But, in those foreign lands would you want them to call you by your name or how they think it should sound like? Yehoshua (<em>Joshua<\/em>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblehub.com\/hebrew\/3091.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H3091<\/a>) means the &#8220;LORD is Savior.&#8221; YESHUA (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblehub.com\/hebrew\/3442.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H3442<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/biblehub.com\/hebrew\/3468.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H3468<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/biblehub.com\/hebrew\/3467.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H3467<\/a>) means &#8220;SAVIOR\/MESSIAH\/CHRIST&#8221; or literally &#8220;the saving part of salvation.&#8221; YESHUA was Yoseph&#8217;s (<em>Joseph&#8217;s<\/em>) adopted son. Yoseph (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lexicon\/h3130\/kjv\/wlc\/0-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H3130<\/a>) means &#8220;He added\/increases&#8221; and comes from the Hebrew word yasaph (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueletterbible.org\/lexicon\/h3254\/kjv\/wlc\/0-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H3254<\/a>) that means &#8220;added\/increased.&#8221; The Hebrew Y can be a prefix to mean &#8220;he\/they will&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Prefixes_in_Hebrew#Conjugation_of_verbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">[ref]<\/a>, and the Hebrew word saph (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblehub.com\/hebrew\/5592a.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H5592a<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/biblehub.com\/hebrew\/5592b.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H5592b<\/a>) means &#8220;door-keeper\/threshold\/basin\/cup.&#8221; So, Yoseph can also mean &#8220;he will (<em>be the<\/em>) door keeper.&#8221; To believe in the name of YESHUA is to believe YESHUA is &#8220;LORD&#8221; and &#8220;SAVIOR\/MESSIAH\/CHRIST.&#8221; HE is the &#8220;DOOR&#8221; into Heaven through WHO we are saved from the punishment of our sins by HIS punishment on the Cross. The Hebrew &#8220;Y&#8221; of YESHUA was translated into a Greek &#8220;I&#8221; that translated into a Latin &#8220;I&#8221; that was translated into a German &#8220;J&#8221; that was translated into a English &#8220;J&#8221;. Martin Luther was a German who knew the &#8220;I&#8221; should be translated as a &#8220;Y&#8221; sound, so he translated the Latin\/Greek &#8220;I&#8221; into a &#8220;J&#8221;, which in German sounds like a &#8220;Y&#8221;. But then his &#8220;J&#8221; that was supposed to sound like a &#8220;Y&#8221; was translated into English as a &#8220;J&#8221; to keep the letter the same, but in English it sounds like a &#8220;J&#8221; not a &#8220;Y&#8221;. Greek has no &#8220;sh&#8221; sound so they changed the &#8220;SH&#8221; of YESHUA to an &#8220;S&#8221;. A Greek masculine name has an &#8220;s&#8221; on the end. There is no guttural sound in English or Greek, so the guttural &#8220;A&#8221; at the end of YESHUA was not used. So, Hebrew &#8220;YE-SH-UA&#8221; became Greek &#8220;Ie-s-ous&#8221; became Latin &#8220;Ie-s-us&#8221; became German &#8220;Je-s-us&#8221; that became the English &#8220;Jesus&#8221;.
