That's another thing i'm confused about...why do we use the name "Jesus", a greek name, for the name "YHSWH" or "Yeshua" if its hebrew, and Yeshua, was, infact, hebrew? Prolly not on topic, but it's always confuzed me!

It is confusing. Funny thing is I still often use the New World Translation because it is easier to understand.

Well, instead of using the NWT, you could get a "A-Z how to understand the bible" or get one with commentary inside. Why would anyone want to use an inacurate translation?

'Jesus' is not a Greek name. It is the evolution of a Latin translation of a Greek transliteration of a fairly common Hebrew/Aramaic name.
