I have received negative comment on my indication that the name Jesus is derived from Ieosus and that this name is Greek and derived from Zeus
Following is my response:
Two points:
1. The man’s name was Yahooshua, it was not and never could be Iesous or Jesus or anything other than Yahooshua, just as my name will always be James so arguments about the origins of Iesous and Jesus are futile, they are both attempts to escape the fundamental issue
2. There is so much confusion and contradiction relating to Iesous that intellectual debate about the language will NOT resolve the issue -- there are all sorts of arguments on the Internet one way or another – there is only one source that is reliable and that is Yah and He says that Iesous was adopted in order to divorce the religion that became Christianity from its Hebrew roots in part to try and escape persecution by the Romans and the Hebrews and partly to make the religion more palatable by adopting language and customs that were pagan in origin – virtually all the major building blocks of Christianity relate to pagan Greek and Roman practices
To the extent that you say Iesous is NOT linguistically derived from Zeus there are others who hold differently
