yea I don’t mean to say it’s iseless to study the terms and languages at all it’s certainly a benefit and helps us be reassured
I only meant to say balance and not to get too over involved in terms and really it was just a general thought because a lot of debate happens regarding dictionaries and Hebrew v Greek
but really he spoke in mostly Aramaic, and it was actually not translated into Hebrew from the biblical scripture we know it was translated into Greek by the Hebrew and Aramaic speaking apostles words d Paul’s Greek fluency also
it was a matter of the timing many spoke Aramaic in the region some Hebrew some Greek and other various languages but the message is the same in Greek or Hebrew
it’s definately a benefit to study according to our own yearnings

I’m sure brother it is what he carres about is that we are seeking him
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6 KJV
I only have my own belief , and always allow for my own ability to be wrong
You should look more in the Greek and Hebrew
This is just nonsense. The Greek word in the NT for Jesus is Iesous therefore the English equivalent is "Jesus". The New Testament was transliterated for names therefore there is no "Yeshua" in the NT.
In the OT the translated word is "Joshua" which is actually equivalent to Yehoshua. The root of this name is YAHSHUA, which is YAH + SHUA. This means "God [is]our Salvation".
Since the name "Jesus" has been in use for about 2,000 years, there is no need to quibble about the necessity of this name. It is in every English translation.
