Jesus or Joshua?

Jesus: what is his real name?

His name: In Acts seven verse forty-five we have the following in most King James Version bibles…

Acts 7:45 which our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Jesus (G2424) into the land possessed by the gentiles, whom YHWH drove out before the face of our fathers until the days of David,

This verse is speaking of Joshua the successor of Moses who led the people of Israel into the Promised Land. The translators reveal that Joshua and Jesus are interchangeable and the Strongs concordance supports it...

Strongs G2424 gives this definition: ee-ay-sooce' Of Hebrew origin H3091; Jesus (that is, Jehoshua)

Strongs H3091 gives this definition: yeh-ho-shoo'-ah, From H3068 and H3467;

Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (that is, Joshua), the Jewish leader: - Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua.

With this information there should be no doubts that the name of the Jewish prophet known by the majority of Christianity as Jesus is a form of the Hebrew name Yehoshua.

All of the material on this site is the product of my twenty-five years of research and study in the fields of Middle Eastern history, archeology (focusing on the Levant), biblical theology, (the study of the Christian, Judaic and Islamic religions), linguistics (I have studied the Hebrew and Greek languages in order to gain the original writers perspectives). I have personal experience with the following faiths: Southern Baptist, WWCG, CGI, Messianic Judaism and Judaism I lived in a torah based monotheist community based on humanist teachings and values for several years. I have been writing studies/articles and parables since the early 2000s. I published many of my works on the www.YHWHisEl.com site at that time; with a focus on monotheism and the non deity of Jesus (Yehoshua).

After identifying many peculiarities in the TaNaKh while teaching, I tasked myself with determining the source of the inconsistencies. I began my search in the first five books of the bible. I read through them many times, locating inconsistencies and attempting to find the golden key that would unlock them. I read many articles, publications and books in which the authors attempted to explain the irregularities (most based on a version of the JDEP theory) and I tested each against the inconsistencies and all of them failed to provide a viable answer.

I then used critical thinking and tested potential theories until I finally found the solution that solved every problematic area. The Free thinkers guide to the Bible is the culmination of this process.
