More Evidence for "Joshua/Yahsha" as the Christ!

If there's no "J" in the hebrew alphabet, how do you come up with "Jesus?!" If you're going to pronounce a hebrew name using English letters, it has to sound the same to be the same name! That's why I gave the examples of "Moses'" name, which is Egyyptian. The interpretation of his name, the difference being the letters that produce the same sounds as the original language, Moses!

I've read that his name sounds more like "Moshe".

Wait, we're still talking about how his name was pronounced??? How to say the word "Moses"? In ancient Hebrew and ancient Egyptian?

Moses is egyptian. Any name in any language should pronounce the same, it's the letters of the languages that's suppose to be different. If there's no letters representing a certain sound in that language, one should be invented.

I'm not quite sure that is true. We sell our products worldwide and one time I worked with a Canadian from Quebec. Now that's not too far removed from American English. I don't recall exactly how he spelled his name but I do recall we pronounced it as "Terry" but that is not how it was spelled. One time I asked him how to pronounce his name correctly so I could address him properly. His response was, "You will not be able to pronounce it correctly." With that, we continued to call him Terry.
 
I'll give you another example. I worked with a fellow who pronounced his name, "Hā-zūs." Here's how he spelled it. Jesus.

Why'd you use to different post? I don't think one isolated incident topples my understanding. That guy was probably putting you on.
 
Is it pronounced tomato, or tomato? Are we now supposed to believe that accents and dialects are somehow unbiblical?
 
My last name is spelled Thielen. It is a German name. Despite the fact that the spelling has not changed in my ancestry (my brother has traced our lineage back into Germany), I can tell you from personal experience that in Germany (I visited Germany) it is not pronounced the same way I pronounce it. Two difference backgrounds have two different understandings about how to pronounce the written word. Unless we can find someone that is about 2,000 years old and knew Him personally, I highly doubt anyone can tell us exactly how the Christ's name was pronounced.
