That is debatable. There is a good outline of the etymology and historical use of the name Yeshua from Yehoshus and the similarities and application to the name Jesus here if you are interested (Wikipedia). Its worth a read. There is lots of historical and archeological evidence for its use also in the Tanakh and application to the name Joshua.
No, its indisputable. I've literally cut and pasted from the Hebrew text. I don't know how well you read the Hebrew Alef Bet, but the HEY is right there in the name for all to see.
Of course it is disputable read the etymology and archeological Tanakh evidence and learn how (Yeshoshua to Yeshua to Joshua to Jesus - Wikipedia).
No, no, no. I have PASTED the name יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ which transliterates as Yehoshua, not Yeshua. I have highlighted the letter HEY for you. It is the ה, and makes an H sound in English, IOW the h sound that you find in YeHoshua, but not in Yeshua.
You cant see if you close your eyes and ears. Do you know what Etymology is? (Yeshoshua to Yeshua to Joshua to Jesus - Wikipedia). No one is arguing what the first long form of the name is. The name Yeshua was known and used in Jewish history as the short form of the name Yehoshua – you can find men called Yeshua in the roll calls of teams serving in the temple (1 Chronicles 24:11, 2 Chronicles 31:15, Ezra 2:2,6,36). It’s a version of Joshua, and it means “salvation”. This also agrees to Matthew and the Angels command to call Messiahs name Jesus "because he will save His people from their sins". Same meaning and application as Yeshua but in Greek.
You cannot appeal to etymology here. The NAME is SPELLED יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ which transliterates as Yehoshua, not Yeshua.
Sure I can appeal to etymology. Name usage changes over time. Etymology proves historical use and evidence for the name Yehoshua being the long form of the name also applied and used for Yeshua the short form. This is also demonstrated in the Tanakh (see Yeshoshua to Yeshua to Joshua to Jesus - Wikipedia).
No. You can't. In this case, etymology is irrelevant. What is relevant is the actual spelling of the name in Hebrew.
You clearly do not know what you are talking about. Etymology absolutely matters. Etymology proves historical use and evidence for the name Yehoshua being the long form of the name also applied and used for Yeshua the short form over time. This is also demonstrated in the Tanakh (see Yeshoshua to Yeshua to Joshua to Jesus - Wikipedia).
I've given all the necessary evidence. You just don't like that you've been spanked. I'm going to move on to other conversations now. If you want to have the final word, go for it.
What is sad in my opinion is that you have been given evidence against your claims from the etymology of Yehoshua that proves the historical use of Yehoshua throughout time and its short form application to Yeshua even in the Tanakh including archeological evidence and its equivalent application to Joshua and its application to Jesus in the Greek as already shown to you in Wikipedia (see Yeshoshua to Yeshua to Joshua to Jesus - Wikipedia). Once again you close your eyes and ears because you do not believe and follow what Gods Word says. The sad thing is that it is you that have been spanked but you did not even know it because you were unwilling to even read what was shared with you. Move on if you like but you need to learn no one can see and here if they willingly choose to close their eyes and ears according to the scriptures (Isaiah 6:9-10).
I don't know, a minute ago you were calling him "Joshua". An English version versus an Aramaic version, which was the language used in the 1st century. And as for the original Hebrew language, there were no vowels, and your version, Yehoshua, didn't exist. And the oldest existing OT manuscripts, the dead Sea Scrolls, contain Aramaic writing, not a non-existing English language.
"David" is "My servant" who will be made the only shepherd, after the "shepherds of Israel" are judged, and the "fat" are "destroyed", at which time "David" will be made "prince" over them. At which time, "Israel" will no longer "endure the insults of the nations anymore" (Ez 34). I guess this will take place after the Harvard president, Ms Gay, is out of power.
Yep.. go make an OP and send us the link. I will support you. Its something we can agree on..My screen name here at RF is "metis", so do any here want to argue as to whether this is correct?
I'm sure I don't need to inform you that "Joshua" is the standard Anglicization of Yehoshua.
That is not correct. The name Yehoshua has a HEY in it, and Yeshua does not.
What is sad in my opinion is that you have been given evidence against your claims from the etymology of Yehoshua that proves the historical use of Yehoshua throughout time and its short form application to Yeshua even in the Tanakh including archeological evidence and its equivalent application to Joshua and its application to Jesus in the Greek as already shown to you in Wikipedia (see Yeshoshua to Yeshua to Joshua to Jesus - Wikipedia). You are promoting falsehood as proven in the linked post here from Wikipedia.
Well, the standard 2nd Temple period Aramaic form of "Joshua" in the first century was Yeshua. What do you care what Anglos call someone? The meat is in the meaning of the name. Yeshua, or Joshua, your 17th century Anglo version. means YHWY saves, which means I am I am saves. Your Anglos refer to Yehoshua as "Jesus", not Joshua. A word that when vocalized, means "earth pig" in Latin, which gives no insight in the crux of the name. I agree with Hosea 4:6:

Again, my comment was never about Jesus, but about the Joshua who succeeded Moses, and whose name in Hebrew definitely has a Hey in it, thus cannot possibly be pronounced Yeshua.
