Does any one have any insight on this?

Is Jesus' Hebrew name (Yeshua) pronounced:
ye-shew-a or ya-hoo-a?
(I know what the latter looks like, bare with me).

What does the second pronunciation mean, if it's not the most used?

If any one can give me something besides a copy-and-paste answer, maybe personal revelation? that would be nice..

Jesus' Aramaic name was probably pronounced something like Yeshu', Yeshua, or Yesho'. It's not entirely clear which. And in a way, it doesn't really matter except as an historical linguistic curiosity.

This video has a fairly decent breakdown:

Actually, sometimes that's not the case at all.

It's no wonder the 'Christianity' of today is in the state it's in.
In this case, it is. The reason it is in the state it is, is because there are 1000s of denominations that make up whatever they want to and teach it to others...

But you're talking opinions not revelation

So did you notice this thread is under controversial Christian theology?
Don't understand your point. I have been active at this forum since Reagan was president. And IIRC the current name of this sub-forum is the third one.

FWIW Jeshua and Joshua are both written as Ἰησοῦ in the 225 BC LXX.

You certainly seem to think you are special.
How so? I asked a question and I preferred not to get a copy-and-paste answer, or one that was not irrelevant to the question at least.

But that's all I got.

Maybe you need some introspection, if you don't already know.
"If one wants to know about Hebrew names one should ask Hebrew speaking Jews not some modern sect that may not even know what a hithpael is."
You consider a suggestion an insult? Do you know what a hithpael is? Without looking it up?

Acts 2:17
‘In the last days,’ God says,
‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
We've been in the last days since Jesus ascended into heaven.

Correct. Iesous is simply the Hellenization of that name, both the longer and shorter forms (Yehoshua/Yeshua).

Some folks don't know that. My reply was for them.

And there it is... the underlying message you were portraying all along.

My suggestion for you: maybe look in a mirror?
