DISCLAIMER: I am NOT telling you what is the ONE and ONLY CORRECT version of the Name. In my own opinion, anyone that claims they have the ONE and ONLY TRUE/CORRECT Name hasn't done enough research. These next few comics are my studies on certain Names and the conclusion I came to with them. If you use one of these Names and don't agree with my conclusion, that is totally fine. I know many people that use each of these Names and we get along just fine. This disclaimer will be at the top of all the commentaries for the different Names.

Now that we have covered the Father's Name, let's cover the Son's. I am including the all variations I know in one post, because much like the comic is showing, in my research they are just variations of the same name.

If we are looking at the Bible honestly, we know His Name is not Jesus. We can't even claim this is the English translation of His Name because another Biblical person that had the same name isn't translated as Jesus in most cases. That person? Joshua the son of Nun. All through the Hebrew Scriptures, his name is translated as Joshua. However, he is mentioned in the book of Acts (7:45) and in Hebrews (4:8). In modern translations, knowing this is Joshua son of Nun, our Bibles will show Joshua there. However, the KJV says Jesus. Also, when you look at the Greek it is IESOUS, the same name as Jesus throughout the Gospels.

If we were to look at the Hebrew of Joshua's name, what would that be? Well, there are actually three different spellings of Joshua's name in the Hebrew. Nehemiah 8:17 has ישוע. Joshua 1:1 has יהושע. And Deuteronomy 3:21 has יהושוע. While, this is 3 different spellings, it is actually just two different pronunciations. The first is Yeshua, the later two are Yehoshua. I used to believe the Joshua 1:1 spelling was Yahusha, but that was before I went and checked the vowel pointings of the word in the verse. It is actually the same as the Deut. 3:21 instance, but instead of using a ו to represent the "oo" sound after the "sh" sound, they have vowel pointers there. I then later ran into a Hebrew speaker giving a teaching about His Name, and he had pointed out that in Hebrew, Yahusha would not be grammatically correct.

In the long run, there is definitely no reason to argue or "correct" someone on the Son's Name. Most of us came to know Him by the name Jesus. If it wasn't for that name, we wouldn't be having these discussions. Then we have the Biblical accounts of Joshua being called by the other variants. So, whichever you choose, just know that is your choice and it doesn't have to be everyone's.
