Before we go any further, it must be made known that Jesus was not and is not the true name of the "First Born Son of Yahweh." There is no resemblance between the Name Yahshúa and the name Jesus. neither is there any resemblance between their meanings. Yahshúa means: "the Salvation of Yah or Yahu." "Jesus" is derived from Iesus, derived from Iesous (IHSOUS) derived, most probably, from the Greek goddess of healing, Ieso or Iaso. her name was derived from iasis ,which means "healing".

Furthermore, the short form, or original source of the name Iesous (IHSOUS) is Ies (IHS), the very surname of Bacchus or Dionysus; who were named in honor of Zeus the Sun-deity (See Disclaimer). Therefore, the two names differ completely in their origin, and in their meaning. And more importantly: Yahshúa's name contains the Name of his Father, which the substitute name does not.

Further proof of the Father's Name being in the Son's Name is found in Ephesians 3:14-15, "For this reason I bow my knees to the Father ... from Whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named." Surely, if His family received His Name, His only begotten Son will also have His Name. Additionally, the true transliteration of Yahshua is Joshua.

John 5:4343 I have come in my Father's name (Yahweh), and you don't receive me. If another (Jesus?) comes in his own name, you will receive him.
