What was Jesus Last name

[PretteePlease]

please nobody say Christ. I've been wondering since i was little.

 

[Poohbear]

They probably didn't have last names back then. I've never seen any last names mentioned in the Bible.

I also wonder where last names originated and who was the first family to have a last name.

 

[LondonDiva]

I have no idea. But what does the H in Jesus H Christ stand for?

 

[toinette]

i doubt there was a last name, everyone in the bible is referred to as son of, daughter of, sister of, etc... he was prolly known as jesus son of mary and joseph

I agree. Also, people were referred to by where they were from (e.g., Jesus of Nazareth).

 

[JuJuBoo]

Either "Jesus of Nazareth" or "Jesus son of Joseph".

They didn't have last names.

I have no idea either. But I've heard this beforetoo LondonDiva, the "Jesus H Christ" but I've only heard this when people swear or say Jesus's name in vain.

I never heard people refer to Jesus as "Jesus H Christ". Where did you hear it from???

 

[PretteePlease]

Do these people know that it is "hallowed" not Harold?

 

[Honeyhips]

Interesting. What made you ask this question?

They didn't have last names.

He was Yesuah the Nazarene.

I'm sorry yall, I got into some SERIOUS issues last week and can no longer refer to the son of God by the white man's label.
(long story, different thread )

Basically there is no "J" in Hebrew.
ex. Joseph=Yosef
It was changed to fit the European language.
No real biggie (me and my friends tend to dwell tooo deeply in such things).

So should Jesus actually be Yesus??? Hmmm, interesting...I've got to do some research or check out a Greek bible or something.

I always thought it meant "Jesus Holy Christ"...

you're right hun. the word Jehovah comes from the hebrew word YHVH.

 

[Poohbear]

So what is the correct spelling of Jesus in the Hebrew Bible???

 

[PretteePlease]

i got this from the net

Yeshua is the original Hebrew proper name for Jesus of Nazareth, a Jewish Rabbi (and more) who lived from about 6 B.C.E. to 27 C.E. (A.D.) In other words, Yeshua was the name His mother called Him when shall called Him for supper.

It is the most proper to call Him Yeshua, since only in the Hebrew does His name have any meaning. In Hebrew Yeshua means both "Salvation," and the concatenated form of Yahoshua, the "L-RD who is Salvation." The name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English, except as it is known as His name in English. (Therefore, we cannot deny the name Jesus, since this name commonly identifies the Messiah to English speaking people.)

This is an interesting topic, I always thought that it was Christ. I'm going to have to do some deep research on this.

Thanks for sharing this information!!! So His name is actually Yeshua!!! I wonder why the Europeans changed it to Jesus??? And even changed His name while translating the word of God from the Hebrew bible to the bibles we have to day. Hmmm, makes you really think...
