Modern Jewish Messianics are not monotheist (One God). They are trinitarian. By trinitarian I mean they believe there are three separate persons in a trinity or tribunal of Gods. While they will say they do not believe in three separate Gods, they will not say one God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Upon questioning, they say the Son departed from the Father and humbled himself and came to die on the cross. In reality this means one person in the tribunal departed from another person in the tribunal who died leaving only two living persons in the tribunal for three and a half days. Then the Father resurrects the Son and restores him to his position in the tribunal. They ask why the Son prays to the Father if the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one God? They never stop to consider they are saying one God is praying to another God. What is missing in the trinitarian philosphy is that God is Father in creation, Son in redemption, and the Holy Spirit in regeneration. They do not understand that the Son is a position of flesh and flesh prays to God. This is not God praying to himself. It is a manifestation of Jesus as both God and man, but his humanity is the part of him that is earthy. Thus, the Son is born of Mary (Luke 1:35) is called the Son of God. Trinitarians and Jewish Messianics deny that Jesus is both Father and Son. They refuse to confess this (see John 10:30, John 14:9, and 1John 2:23). To confess the Father in the Son is a Christian doctrine. This is why we can say Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. The trinitarian issue gives us our first reason not to follow Jewish Messianic groups, their doctrines, their teachings, their practices, and their opinions.
Jewish Messianics are generally law-keepers. What I mean by this, is they do not believe in salvation by Christ alone, by grace alone, by faith alone as found in Acts 2:38. They believe in easy believeism. Meaning all a person must do to become a Christian is to accept Jesus in their heart as their Savior. Now, to add to this salvation a person must begin keeping many Old Testament laws. The first is the sabbath day. The second is generally circumcision for all males. Next, a person must observe all the feast days according to the law. Women must now put on a head covering. Men must also wear a head covering. The wearing of fringes and tassels on garments is practiced. Men will begin wearing the talit usually displaying the hex star of David. They will learn circle dances and Jewish style polka music. At last, they are required to throw down the name of Jesus and accept a new name for him like Yeshua, Yahshua, Jeshua, Yahwehshua, Yehoshua, or even Yoshua (Joshua). They will also use the names Jehovah and or Yahweh, sometimes Yahuah. By these changes of names, the tetragrammaton YHWH becomes the emblem of worship usually written in Aramaic alphabet which they claim is really Hebrew. Once the switch has been made to this modern Jewish Messianic religious philosophy, all those people who are not law-keepers are considered profane and unsaved.
Jewish Messianics of course must have their own bible that contains these new changes. There are several of these around. Some newer Messianic slanted bibles are the Complete Jewish Bible; The Bethel Edition of the Bible; The Tree of Life Bible; The Messianic Jewish Shared Heritage Bible; The New Messianic Version of the Bible; The Hebrew Roots Bible; The Messianic Hope Bible, The Tanakh; and more unknown ones. The Jewish Messianic movement has totally rewritten the bible to make it say what they want it to say. They then claim all other Bible versions are bad, evil, and satanic because they have the name Jesus in them. Hate against the name of Jesus Christ develops with accusations the name Jesus comes from Zeus or some other pagan origin. Many souls are swept away into this sacred name cult that then attempts to blot out the name of Jesus from the earth. Anyone who falls into the trap of using these so-called Messianic bibles, will eventually become a member of the cult and could possibly never escape. The brainwashing is tremendous and spiritually terminal.
My attention at this time will be directed to the use of these new names that are required of converts to this Jewish Messianic sacred name tetragrammaton cult.
They will use the name Yahshua HaMashiakh. This is the expected new way of saying Jesus Christ. Of course, in some other countries Yeshua HaMashiakh or even Jeshua HaMashiakh or even Esa HaMashiakh can be used. But are these valid for Christians? That is, Christian believers in salvation by Christ alone without the deeds of the law (Romans 3:20, Romans 3:28, Galatians 5:14-18)?
Among the Jewish Messianics the name of Jesus is not the highest or greatest name (Acts 4:12, Ephesians 1:21, Philippians 2:9-10). They place the tetragrammaton YHWH and derivative names like Jehovah or Yahweh, or Yahuah above it.
At this point I want to interject that YHWH is the name used by Satanist, Illuminnati, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, several cult groups, and the New World Order. The Temple of Lucifer uses it for the devil himself. Satanist who chant “yud-he-vau-he” claim the devil shows up. In fact, in these rituals of darkness the name of Jesus is prohibited.
Many do not know that YHWH is a bisexual god who is claimed in the Jewish Kabbalah to be both male and female. According to this cult, Adam was both a man and a woman and all God did was remove the woman part from Adam and made Eve. They have pictures drawn to show Adam with both sexual organs. This is supposes to explain why homosexuality is an acceptable manner of orientation for those who celebrate the mysteries of the cults. In these rituals all manner of orgies are permitted with the statement: “if it harm none do what thou will.” The tetragrammaton cults have their own unique individuality. But it all begins when the name of Jesus Christ is removed and the tetragrammaton YHWH takes over as the name of God.
Christians do not have the liberty to depart from the Christian Scriptures that were written and passed down by New Testament writers. While we do acknowledge there have been some alterations of the original manuscripts due to translation errors or even on purpose: we generally still have a bible book that contains all we need for salvation and living a clean Christian life. Where we discover any errors we will correct them. But we will not allow our faith to be destroyed by complete new translations that pervert thousands and thousands of scriptures and words which the Jewish Messianics are guilty of doing.
Take for instance the New Testament use of the word “Disciple”: it is used to describe the followers of Jesus who were being taught by him. They were the students of the teacher Jesus Christ. But in the Complete Jewish Bible this word is changed to Talmudium. Which means followers of the Talmud. This is a perversion so great, it at once marks not only this version as satanic, but it identifies the Talmud as a satanic book. Anyone can research the Babylonian Talmud and its hate against Jesus, Mary, the Apostles, the New Testament, and all the immoral conducts allowed and see that the Disciples were not Talmudiums. All of these falsehoods are designed to change a persons faith from being a Christian to a Messianic new age believer where the names Yahshua or Yeshua replace that of Jesus Christ.
It is not my intention here to write a lot about this “Yah” god but suffice to say only that it was the ancient moon god of Egypt and among the Canaanites. It is confessed by all Jewish Messianics that Yah is the shortened form of Yahweh from the first two letters of YHWH the tetragrammaton. Once a person learns of all the evil in this name, they will have no problem seeing that Yah is evil and even the word “hallelu-yah” is evil.
If the Apostles did not use Yeshu or Yeshua were did these come from? According to research the name Yeshu or Jeshu was invented by Jesus hating rabbis. The name is derived from "Yeshu" an acronym from Y'mach Sh'mo V'Zichrono”which means may his name and memory be blotted out from the earth. This must have been invented in the late first or early second century. Gentiles thinking it was a better Jewish name adopted it and it found its way into Christian acceptance and use. It is the root of the name Jeshua found in the King James Version in 27 places. In the Greek Septuagint it is translated Jesus. In the Samaritan it is translated Ye-oosha (same as Yeh-oosha or even Jeh-ossha). Strong’s at #3442 follows the Aramaic Chaldee perversion and is not to be considered correct at all. Any doctrine on the name of Jesus that uses or follows the Aramaic Chaldee “Yehowshua, Yeshuwa, Yeshua, Yeshu must be rejected. Strong ties Jeshua invented by the rabbis to the tetragrammaton and eventually to the falsehood the name means “Jehovah saves.” This lie makes the name of Jesus associated with the tetragrammaton YHWH and directly with satan. This cannot be accepted.
Let me here show that YHWH is satan and not God.
ZEP 1:5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by YHWH, and that swear by Malcham;
Note: These are all false gods that the true God was against.
1CH 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
2SA 24:1 And again the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
Note: in 1Ch 21:1 it is satan who provokes David to number Israel. Then in 2Sam 24:1 it is YHWH who moves David to number Israel. Satan and YHWH are proven here to be satan.
EXO 4:24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that YHWH met him, and sought to kill him.
Note: Moses had just departed from God who sent him on a mission to deliver the Israelites out of Egypt. He had no reason to kill him. Yet in Exo 4:24 YHWH met Moses and tried to kill him. Who is this YHWH but satan the devil.
EXO 32:5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow is a feast to YHWH.
Note: Aaron made a golden calf. It was an idol. All idols are called devils (see Deut 32:17). Since satan is a devil, the golden calf was a symbol used by satan. Aaron told the Israelites they would make a feast to this idol god and said it was to YHWH. This proves that the golden calf was called YHWH at this moment.
There are many other evidence that YHWH is evil. We know Jesus never used this name nor did the Apostles. They did not use the Aramaic Babylonian bible that had YHWH in it. They used the Greek Septuagint version. Jesus called God Father. He never called God by YHWH. If he had used this in the public, he would have been accused and put to death. So, no one ever heard him use it. The fact he called God Father and not YHWH shows us he did not exalt this tetragrammaton as the Jewish Messianics are doing today.
Was the name of Jesus derived then from YHWH as the Jewish Messianics claim? Many changed the name Yeshua into Yehshuah. In this perversion you can see they added YHWH with the letter “u” having the “w” sound. Here is how they say it is: YeHshWaH. If indeed Jesus had this name, then he had the name of the devil incorporated into it. Is this not the same as they claim about Jesus coming from Zeus? Where does Zeus have the devil’s name in it? At most, it is the name of a Greek idol god. But Jesus name did not come from Zeus which I admit even many scholars have made the mistake about. The name of Jesus came from heaven on the lips of the angel Gabriel. This is part of our faith. The name of Jesus was written on the Cross in Paleo-Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. We can only insist that if it was, then the letters of these alphabets were arranged in such a manner that the name was pronounced as nearly the same as linguistics would allow. We cannot assume the Apostolic writers would use spellings and letters that did not accurately convey the sound of his name. We do know, they never used a name for Jesus that incorporated YHWH. That is settled. Jesus did not have a devil name.
We do not have the Paleo-Hebrew bible to go back and check Daniel 9:25 for the word used for Messiah, Messias, or Christ. We do know that Greek is Paleo-Hebrew written in reverse. You can learn more about this at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-Bqe5rfl5s While the author, Jeff Benner is a YHWH and Yahweh believer, he does tell the truth about how Greek descends from Paleo-Hebrew. This is an eye-opener for those who have just read lying scholars who claim Greek and ancient Hebrew have no connection.
We can only assume that the changing of the right to left to left to right and the reversal of the letters still retained their pronunciation. We cannot accept that Babylonian Syrian Aramaic pronunciations should now be stamped upon Paleo-Hebrew which has been a great fraud by rabbis, monks, translators, and so-called scholars. In this chart we can trace the origin of the Greek Christos back to Paleo-Hebrew. This chart shows what Christos in Greek would have looked like in Paleo-Hebrew. If the Old Testament was correctly translated from Paleo-Hebrew to Greek in 280BC and the Septuagint was the result, we know now why it could have been done so rapidly and we know just how easy it was. I personally insist that those who disagree with me, admit the facts. If anyone denies the underlying facts, to me their opinions about Paleo-Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and Aramaic are flat out rejected. I refuse to believe Jesus had a Babylonian Aramaic name that has no connection to Paleo-Hebrew, the language of Israel until carried away captive there around 600BC.
Let me give one scriptural evidence here that the Jewish language and the Syrian Aramaic language were not the same. This conversation between Eliakim to Rab-Shakeh from Babylon:
2KI 18:26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language (Aramaic); for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language (Paleo-Hebrew) in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
This verse shows clearly that the language of the Jews at this time was not the Syrian tongue. The Syrian tongue was Aramaic. Any scholar who has no reason to pervert or lie will admit this. In fact, most modern resources on the Aramaic language will admit the Jews adopted this tongue when in Babylon. It is here important and must be insisted: Jesus did not have an Aramaic Syrian Babylonian name. Anyone who uses the Aramaic translated bible by the rabbis, which was used as his primary source by the Masoretic scribes from 700-1000AD, is foolish at best, and ignorant at worst.
Let us now take a look at the history of the Greek use of Christ or Christos and its development until we get the name Christian. I personally resent men and women who claim Jesus could not be the name of Jesus that he must have a Hebrew name, then they offer an Aramaic substitute from the Babylonian tongue. I also personally resent men and women who claim the name Christ must have an Aramaic substitute from the Babylonian tongue which they say as Yeshua HaMashiakh or even Jeshua HaMashiakh. Both of these names have Aramaic Babylonian roots. They do not have Greek or Paleo-Hebrew roots.
The Greek use of Χριστός, Christós:
The English Christ comes Latin “Christus” which came from the Greek Christos/Chrestos.
Below is brief history as I understand it:
700BC Homer, the Greek writer used "chriso"as a word describing the rubbing of oil on the body after bathing (Il 23, 186; also Od 4,252).
During the same time, the Greek word chrestes meant a priest or prophet. These used oil in the course of their religious activities. They were the one to anoint and this is why they were called chrestes. Even in the Old Testament, prophets are noted for their special authority to anoint and perform sacrifices. I do not here validate any pagan perversion of anointing, just pointing out that anointing with oil was an ancient practice among Old Testament prophets before there was a Greek people. I personally believe the Greeks copied this from the Jews and incorporated it into their pagan practices, not that the Jews borrowed this practice from pagans.
460BC Pindar (pp. 4-10) The words chresen and oikistera applied to a man who created a colony or a small group of people. Hence the word oikistera meant “colonizer.” and was used for a disciple so recognized by the chresen or teacher. To use Chresen for Jesus means only he was establishing his own colony of followers. This is not an evil use, nor would he identify Jesus as some evil person by using a Greek name used to identify the work of a priest or prophet.
420BC Euripides (Ion. 1320) (Eurip. Ion, 1218), used pythochrestos with pytho meaning the oracle speaking as a source of a divine message. Chrestos then can only mean a priest or prophet who speaks a divine message when used for Jesus.
420BC Herodotus - The word chreon as explained by Herodotus (7,11,7,) means the oracle declares. By oracle he means a person who speaks by divine unction. See also Vide Herodotus, 7, 215; 5, 108. Jesus was an oracle. He did speak by divine unction. Use of the name oracle should not here be demonized or devilized.
350BC Plato (in Phaed. 264 B) uses chrestos ei hoti hegei – an excellent speaker who thinks in a particular manner. Jesus is the Christ or “Chrestos” of God who speaks and thinks the wisdom of God. If any man deserved and fulfilled this character and identity, it was Jesus. Why deny him this honor and respect just because we are using Greek words that are rooted in the Paleo-Hebrew language?
333BC Demosthenes saying [o Chreste] (330, 27), means by it simply "you nice man" (or honorable and good man). Which at this time, all men who were considered chreste were excellent individuals. We know from ancient Greek literature that all men deemed to be holy and who entered the priesthoods were anointed with oil and this ritual was considered the moment he became a chreste. Was Jesus anointed by man? No, and he did not need this seeing he had a greater anointing. We compare this with the prophets who anointed others but we have no record any man anointed them. Their anointing came from God and we will not place Jesus on a lessor footing of divine privilege (see Acts 10:38 for the anointing of Jesus).
In the Greek classics the verb [chraomai] means "consulting the priest or prophet of who was an oracle"; the word chresterion is used to mean the seat or throne upon which a priest or prophet sat as an oracle. Chrestes then came to mean a man who expounds or explains divine utterances as an oracle. An oracle is a person who is supposed to speak by divine knowledge, wisdom, and inspiration; hence a priest, prophet, or even a fake soothsayer speaking for his god. The word chresterios was used by many religious groups to signify the service of any person, male or female who acted as an oracle or speaker for a god.
10AD Philo Judaeus writes of theochrestos meaning "God-declared." This is just before the appearance of Jesus as the earthly voice of God. The Jewish God was not at any time a Greek god, so we can expect words like Theochrestos to have a unique Jewish only meaning. Even if it was a new word to the Greek language, it would still mean by the time of Jesus a man who speaks for and on behalf of the God of Israel. This was developed into Jesus being the Word or the Logos of God. He who spoke the Word of God. Hence we now have the Greek logia theochresta. This will later develop into the name Christian. People who follow Jesus Christ as the one who spoke the Word of God. The Theochresta would also be the priest and prophet who speaks for God as the one and only accepted divine Oracle. We have no problem of the Greeks calling themselves Chrestians nor those of other nations calling themselves Christians.
While there was a use of the name Christ in ancient Greek paganism, the Greek is based upon the more ancient Paleo-Hebrew. It can only be true then, that in ancient Paleo-Hebrew, before the Jews adopted the Aramaic Babylonian language around 600BC, that the name Christ has a far greater application to the priests and prophets of God who spoke as anointed oracles for him. The pagans who then later became Greeks just adopted this word and practice and used the name of it for the spoke persons of their gods.
Christ and the Babylonian Aramaic Masiac have no connection. Jewish Messianics are adamant that Christ and Masiac are not the same and we will accept that. We will not however accelt a Babylonian Aramaic Syriac name for Jesus that neither he nor the Apostles used. We know the Apostles and Jesus used Christ (Christos or Chrestos) but never Masiac or Yeshua HaMashiakh or even Jeshua HaMashiakh from the Babylonian Aramaic tongue. They chose Greek which descended from Paleo-Hebrew rather than the Assyrian Aramaic Babylonian language.
Someone asked if Christ can be translated into Aramaic? Of course. But this would not give that Gentile translation priority over the Greek and give cause that unless we use the Aramaic language and pronunciation we are wrong.
It cannot be honestly denied that the Greek Septuagint was the version of the Bible Jesus quoted and used and which the Apostles used. It cannot be honestly denied that when Jesus read the scroll in Luke 4:18 that the only bible scroll that day in the synagogue was the Greek LXX. The Jews themselves admit the Aramaic was not used in the synagogues. It is claimed that the only existing Paleo-Hebrew bible was kept in the temple. And that the last remaining Aramaic bible was taken to Rome by Titus where it disappeared. We can only assume two things here: first, that God did not count the Aramaic translation important enough to preserve it; and second, the last Paleo-Hebrew bible was burned up in 70AD and God did not care. If Jesus could use the Greek LXX as God manifest in the flesh and not use or quote from the Paleo-Hebrew, we may assume that the Greek was accurate and sufficient enough to convey the message God wanted.
It cannot be avoided that God chose the Greek language and tongue for the majority of the New Testament to be written in. It is of no less importance that the last book of the Bible was written in Greek. While there are now attempts among the YHWH cults to claim the whole New Testament was originally written in Babylonian Aramaic, any person with an honest heart will not accept these lies. God chose the Greek because substantially it was the same language of the ancient Israelites in their Paleo-Hebrew tongue.
There is nothing within the Jewish Messianic movement that resembles the New Testament Church. Trying to Judaize the Church and members today and take them back under rabbis following the Aramaic Masoretic text, the Talmud, the Tanakh, or any other Jewish book whose purpose is to remove a person from New Testament grace back under the law, is to fall from grace and be severed from Christ (Galatians 5:4).
On the basis of:
The trinity doctrine
Law keeping
Rejection of the name of Jesus
Attacks against the name Christ
Elevation of YHWH above the name of Jesus
Use of invented names Jehovah, Yahweh, or Yahuah
Using YHWH which clearly points to satan
Singing praises using hallelu-yah
Denial of salvation by Christ alone, by faith alone, by grace alone as found in Acts 2:38
We cannot accept Jewish Messianic constructs, doctrines, practices, order, or beliefs.
We hereby reject use of: Yeshua HaMashiakh or even Jeshua HaMashiakh
I pray in Jesus Christ name that all who read this, have eyes open, and soft hearts to receive the truth.

EXO 4:24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that YHWH met him, and sought to kill him.
Note: Moses had just departed from God who sent him on a mission to deliver the Israelites out of Egypt. He had no reason to kill him. Yet in Exo 4:24 YHWH met Moses and tried to kill him. Who is this YHWH but satan the devil.
EXO 32:5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow is a feast to YHWH.
Note: Aaron made a golden calf. It was an idol. All idols are called devils (see Deut 32:17). Since satan is a devil, the golden calf was a symbol used by satan. Aaron told the Israelites they would make a feast to this idol god and said it was to YHWH. This proves that the golden calf was called YHWH at this moment.
There are many other evidence that YHWH is evil. We know Jesus never used this name nor did the Apostles. They did not use the Aramaic Babylonian bible that had YHWH in it. They used the Greek Septuagint version. Jesus called God Father. He never called God by YHWH. If he had used this in the public, he would have been accused and put to death. So, no one ever heard him use it. The fact he called God Father and not YHWH shows us he did not exalt this tetragrammaton as the Jewish Messianics are doing today.
Was the name of Jesus derived then from YHWH as the Jewish Messianics claim? Many changed the name Yeshua into Yehshuah. In this perversion you can see they added YHWH with the letter “u” having the “w” sound. Here is how they say it is: YeHshWaH. If indeed Jesus had this name, then he had the name of the devil incorporated into it. Is this not the same as they claim about Jesus coming from Zeus? Where does Zeus have the devil’s name in it? At most, it is the name of a Greek idol god. But Jesus name did not come from Zeus which I admit even many scholars have made the mistake about. The name of Jesus came from heaven on the lips of the angel Gabriel. This is part of our faith. The name of Jesus was written on the Cross in Paleo-Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. We can only insist that if it was, then the letters of these alphabets were arranged in such a manner that the name was pronounced as nearly the same as linguistics would allow. We cannot assume the Apostolic writers would use spellings and letters that did not accurately convey the sound of his name. We do know, they never used a name for Jesus that incorporated YHWH. That is settled. Jesus did not have a devil name.
We do not have the Paleo-Hebrew bible to go back and check Daniel 9:25 for the word used for Messiah, Messias, or Christ. We do know that Greek is Paleo-Hebrew written in reverse. You can learn more about this at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-Bqe5rfl5s While the author, Jeff Benner is a YHWH and Yahweh believer, he does tell the truth about how Greek descends from Paleo-Hebrew. This is an eye-opener for those who have just read lying scholars who claim Greek and ancient Hebrew have no connection.
We can only assume that the changing of the right to left to left to right and the reversal of the letters still retained their pronunciation. We cannot accept that Babylonian Syrian Aramaic pronunciations should now be stamped upon Paleo-Hebrew which has been a great fraud by rabbis, monks, translators, and so-called scholars. In this chart we can trace the origin of the Greek Christos back to Paleo-Hebrew. This chart shows what Christos in Greek would have looked like in Paleo-Hebrew. If the Old Testament was correctly translated from Paleo-Hebrew to Greek in 280BC and the Septuagint was the result, we know now why it could have been done so rapidly and we know just how easy it was. I personally insist that those who disagree with me, admit the facts. If anyone denies the underlying facts, to me their opinions about Paleo-Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and Aramaic are flat out rejected. I refuse to believe Jesus had a Babylonian Aramaic name that has no connection to Paleo-Hebrew, the language of Israel until carried away captive there around 600BC.
Let me give one scriptural evidence here that the Jewish language and the Syrian Aramaic language were not the same. This conversation between Eliakim to Rab-Shakeh from Babylon:
2KI 18:26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language (Aramaic); for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language (Paleo-Hebrew) in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
This verse shows clearly that the language of the Jews at this time was not the Syrian tongue. The Syrian tongue was Aramaic. Any scholar who has no reason to pervert or lie will admit this. In fact, most modern resources on the Aramaic language will admit the Jews adopted this tongue when in Babylon. It is here important and must be insisted: Jesus did not have an Aramaic Syrian Babylonian name. Anyone who uses the Aramaic translated bible by the rabbis, which was used as his primary source by the Masoretic scribes from 700-1000AD, is foolish at best, and ignorant at worst.
Let us now take a look at the history of the Greek use of Christ or Christos and its development until we get the name Christian. I personally resent men and women who claim Jesus could not be the name of Jesus that he must have a Hebrew name, then they offer an Aramaic substitute from the Babylonian tongue. I also personally resent men and women who claim the name Christ must have an Aramaic substitute from the Babylonian tongue which they say as Yeshua HaMashiakh or even Jeshua HaMashiakh. Both of these names have Aramaic Babylonian roots. They do not have Greek or Paleo-Hebrew roots.
The Greek use of Χριστός, Christós:
The English Christ comes Latin “Christus” which came from the Greek Christos/Chrestos.
Below is brief history as I understand it:
700BC Homer, the Greek writer used "chriso"as a word describing the rubbing of oil on the body after bathing (Il 23, 186; also Od 4,252).
During the same time, the Greek word chrestes meant a priest or prophet. These used oil in the course of their religious activities. They were the one to anoint and this is why they were called chrestes. Even in the Old Testament, prophets are noted for their special authority to anoint and perform sacrifices. I do not here validate any pagan perversion of anointing, just pointing out that anointing with oil was an ancient practice among Old Testament prophets before there was a Greek people. I personally believe the Greeks copied this from the Jews and incorporated it into their pagan practices, not that the Jews borrowed this practice from pagans.
460BC Pindar (pp. 4-10) The words chresen and oikistera applied to a man who created a colony or a small group of people. Hence the word oikistera meant “colonizer.” and was used for a disciple so recognized by the chresen or teacher. To use Chresen for Jesus means only he was establishing his own colony of followers. This is not an evil use, nor would he identify Jesus as some evil person by using a Greek name used to identify the work of a priest or prophet.
420BC Euripides (Ion. 1320) (Eurip. Ion, 1218), used pythochrestos with pytho meaning the oracle speaking as a source of a divine message. Chrestos then can only mean a priest or prophet who speaks a divine message when used for Jesus.
420BC Herodotus - The word chreon as explained by Herodotus (7,11,7,) means the oracle declares. By oracle he means a person who speaks by divine unction. See also Vide Herodotus, 7, 215; 5, 108. Jesus was an oracle. He did speak by divine unction. Use of the name oracle should not here be demonized or devilized.
350BC Plato (in Phaed. 264 B) uses chrestos ei hoti hegei – an excellent speaker who thinks in a particular manner. Jesus is the Christ or “Chrestos” of God who speaks and thinks the wisdom of God. If any man deserved and fulfilled this character and identity, it was Jesus. Why deny him this honor and respect just because we are using Greek words that are rooted in the Paleo-Hebrew language?
333BC Demosthenes saying [o Chreste] (330, 27), means by it simply "you nice man" (or honorable and good man). Which at this time, all men who were considered chreste were excellent individuals. We know from ancient Greek literature that all men deemed to be holy and who entered the priesthoods were anointed with oil and this ritual was considered the moment he became a chreste. Was Jesus anointed by man? No, and he did not need this seeing he had a greater anointing. We compare this with the prophets who anointed others but we have no record any man anointed them. Their anointing came from God and we will not place Jesus on a lessor footing of divine privilege (see Acts 10:38 for the anointing of Jesus).
In the Greek classics the verb [chraomai] means "consulting the priest or prophet of who was an oracle"; the word chresterion is used to mean the seat or throne upon which a priest or prophet sat as an oracle. Chrestes then came to mean a man who expounds or explains divine utterances as an oracle. An oracle is a person who is supposed to speak by divine knowledge, wisdom, and inspiration; hence a priest, prophet, or even a fake soothsayer speaking for his god. The word chresterios was used by many religious groups to signify the service of any person, male or female who acted as an oracle or speaker for a god.
10AD Philo Judaeus writes of theochrestos meaning "God-declared." This is just before the appearance of Jesus as the earthly voice of God. The Jewish God was not at any time a Greek god, so we can expect words like Theochrestos to have a unique Jewish only meaning. Even if it was a new word to the Greek language, it would still mean by the time of Jesus a man who speaks for and on behalf of the God of Israel. This was developed into Jesus being the Word or the Logos of God. He who spoke the Word of God. Hence we now have the Greek logia theochresta. This will later develop into the name Christian. People who follow Jesus Christ as the one who spoke the Word of God. The Theochresta would also be the priest and prophet who speaks for God as the one and only accepted divine Oracle. We have no problem of the Greeks calling themselves Chrestians nor those of other nations calling themselves Christians.
While there was a use of the name Christ in ancient Greek paganism, the Greek is based upon the more ancient Paleo-Hebrew. It can only be true then, that in ancient Paleo-Hebrew, before the Jews adopted the Aramaic Babylonian language around 600BC, that the name Christ has a far greater application to the priests and prophets of God who spoke as anointed oracles for him. The pagans who then later became Greeks just adopted this word and practice and used the name of it for the spoke persons of their gods.
Christ and the Babylonian Aramaic Masiac have no connection. Jewish Messianics are adamant that Christ and Masiac are not the same and we will accept that. We will not however accelt a Babylonian Aramaic Syriac name for Jesus that neither he nor the Apostles used. We know the Apostles and Jesus used Christ (Christos or Chrestos) but never Masiac or Yeshua HaMashiakh or even Jeshua HaMashiakh from the Babylonian Aramaic tongue. They chose Greek which descended from Paleo-Hebrew rather than the Assyrian Aramaic Babylonian language.
Someone asked if Christ can be translated into Aramaic? Of course. But this would not give that Gentile translation priority over the Greek and give cause that unless we use the Aramaic language and pronunciation we are wrong.
It cannot be honestly denied that the Greek Septuagint was the version of the Bible Jesus quoted and used and which the Apostles used. It cannot be honestly denied that when Jesus read the scroll in Luke 4:18 that the only bible scroll that day in the synagogue was the Greek LXX. The Jews themselves admit the Aramaic was not used in the synagogues. It is claimed that the only existing Paleo-Hebrew bible was kept in the temple. And that the last remaining Aramaic bible was taken to Rome by Titus where it disappeared. We can only assume two things here: first, that God did not count the Aramaic translation important enough to preserve it; and second, the last Paleo-Hebrew bible was burned up in 70AD and God did not care. If Jesus could use the Greek LXX as God manifest in the flesh and not use or quote from the Paleo-Hebrew, we may assume that the Greek was accurate and sufficient enough to convey the message God wanted.
It cannot be avoided that God chose the Greek language and tongue for the majority of the New Testament to be written in. It is of no less importance that the last book of the Bible was written in Greek. While there are now attempts among the YHWH cults to claim the whole New Testament was originally written in Babylonian Aramaic, any person with an honest heart will not accept these lies. God chose the Greek because substantially it was the same language of the ancient Israelites in their Paleo-Hebrew tongue.
There is nothing within the Jewish Messianic movement that resembles the New Testament Church. Trying to Judaize the Church and members today and take them back under rabbis following the Aramaic Masoretic text, the Talmud, the Tanakh, or any other Jewish book whose purpose is to remove a person from New Testament grace back under the law, is to fall from grace and be severed from Christ (Galatians 5:4).
On the basis of:
The trinity doctrine
Law keeping
Rejection of the name of Jesus
Attacks against the name Christ
Elevation of YHWH above the name of Jesus
Use of invented names Jehovah, Yahweh, or Yahuah
Using YHWH which clearly points to satan
Singing praises using hallelu-yah
Denial of salvation by Christ alone, by faith alone, by grace alone as found in Acts 2:38
We cannot accept Jewish Messianic constructs, doctrines, practices, order, or beliefs.
We hereby reject use of: Yeshua HaMashiakh or even Jeshua HaMashiakh
I pray in Jesus Christ name that all who read this, have eyes open, and soft hearts to receive the truth.
