Jesus's real name was Yeshua (ישוע), a common Hebrew/Aramaic name meaning "Yahweh saves," derived from Yehoshua (Joshua); the name "Jesus" is a Greek and Latin transliteration that evolved from Yeshua as the text was translated across languages. His full name was likely Yeshua bar Yosef (Jesus son of Joseph).
Jesus's name on the other hand was Aramaic יֵשׁוּע Yeshu / Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ Yeshua. The Gospels, written in Greek, render it as Ἰησοῦς Iesous (seemingly coming from the Aramaic, not Hebrew - it's quite likely Aramaic would have been the every day language of Jesus and his disciples).
Jesus is sometimes referred to as Immanuel. This is a direct fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy, “Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she will name Him Immanuel” (Is. 7:14).
Isa is the Messiah in Islam and is the called Īsā al-Masīḥ by Muslims. It is one of several titles of Isa, who is referred to as Masih or Al-Masih 11 times in the Quran. It means 'the anointed', 'the traveller', or 'one who cures by caressing'.
In the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church's Bible, Jesus's name is transliterated as Iyesus (or Eyesus/Yasu/Yesu) in Geʽez (the liturgical language), which comes from the Greek Iesous and ultimately the Hebrew Yeshua, meaning "Yah saves," reflecting the same root as the English "Jesus".
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church does not believe in the two natures of Christ. Rather, they affirm that Christ is one person with one nature. They believe two natures require double or dual personalities. When you evangelize, they will affirm “fully human and fully divine,” but they deny that this means two natures.
No. As Jesus didn't speak Arabic and thus wouldn't have used an Arabic word . He would have said “ Elaha ” which is similar and shares the same view given they are sister language. However he didn't use the word itself “Allah”.
The Prophet Muhammad sought to erase any distinctions between the message he taught and that taught by Jesus, whom he called God's “spirit and word.” Prophet Muhammad said: “Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all people to Jesus, the son of Mary.
Why did Mary name Jesus Jesus instead of Immanuel?
The angel instructs both Joseph and Mary to name him Jesus: You are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins (Mat 1:21; Luke 1:31). The name that God has for Him is “Jesus.” In assigning this name through the angel, God teaches that Jesus is both God and Savior.
In the New Testament, in Luke 1:31 an angel tells Mary to name her child Jesus, and in Matthew 1:21 an angel tells Joseph to name the child Jesus during Joseph's first dream.
Christ is the Lamb of God, the Sun of Righteousness, the tree of life, the fountain of life, the Priest, the Prophet, the King, the Savior, the Mediator, the Physician, the Shepherd, the Counselor, the Head, our Brother, our Father, our God, our Lord, our Teacher, our Beloved, our Friend, life, power, wisdom, ...
Yeah it doesn't matter. It's not as if "Yeshua" is how he would have spelled his name. If anything, using Roman standards, it would be spelled Iesua, they didn't use Y as a consonant like we do. And if you want to go by Greek, Aramaic, or Hebrew spelling, then the Latin alphabet is already out of the question.
In fact, all Rabbinic references to Jesus uses either “Yeshu” or “that man,” with one notable exception – Rabbi Maimonides who lived in Muslim-ruled Spain and Egypt between 1138 to 1204. He doesn't flatter Jesus, of course, but he does refer to him as “Yeshua of Nazareth,” and not as “Yeshu.”
Most prayer is directed to God the Father. Jesus teaches us to pray to the Father, and He prays to the Father throughout His time on Earth (John 16:23 and John 17:1-26).
The Bible offers very little information on Jesus' life between ages 12 and 30, referring to them as his "silent years," but he likely lived a typical Jewish life in Nazareth, learning his father Joseph's trade as a carpenter, studying scripture, and growing in wisdom, while speculative theories suggest travels to India or Egypt, though these lack historical evidence.
Jesus was Jewish, born to Mary, wife of Joseph. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke offer two different accounts of his genealogy. Matthew traces Jesus's ancestry to Abraham through David.
