| WHAT WAS JESUS' REAL NAME? The letter "J" is the newest letter in English alphabet, and was added to English alphabets in the 15th century . The sound of the letter ( J ) has never existed in the Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, or Latin languages. So, the question is that the alphabet "J" which is about 500 years old, then how it could be used 2000 years before? The language of the Old Testaments was Hebrew, and the New Testaments' language was Aramaic, which later translated into Greek. So first we should know about the alphabets of all three languages stated above |

| In the above three languages, no alphabet exists, which makes the sound of "J". So then how we can say that Christ's real name was "Jesus"? In the Hebrew language, "Y" is used instead of "J'. For example, the word "Hallelujah",pronounced "Hal-le-lu-yah". In the same way, the translators of the Bible mis-transliteration "Yehoshua" as "Joshua"; "Yerushalem" as "Jerusalem", there are many such mistakes that I can quote here, but because the length of the subject, I return back to the topic on Jesus' name. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew name "Yehoshua" can be found, which later mis-transliterated as "Joshua". And the same name is written in Aramaic as "Yeshua"and the Greeks wrote this name as "Iesous" (For more details, visit http://www.aramaicnt.org/NEW/index.php?p=23) Later, Romans changed the Greek name "Iesous" into "Iesus" (Quran mentions Jesus as "Isa"), so finally "Iesus" was changed into "Jesus". And today Christians only know the corrupted name of their Prophet, but not the real name of him |
