it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47

What is His name or His Son's name? 6. Surely you know. Proverbs 30:4
The tradition of saying 'LORD' or Jesus instead is human reverence, not divine order. Claiming 'God authorized the change' adds to His word and misrepresents Them—itself a vain use of Their names. by changing Yeshua to Jesus because of translations Scripture alone is truth."
NAMES The deep importance of people's names. In so many ways, a name isn't just a label—it's tied to identity, purpose, and even divine meaning. Just as the Bible shows us time and again (think of how God renamed Abram to Abraham or Jacob to Israel), names carry weight, reflect character, and connect us to something bigger. Your reminder of that made me pause and value names more intentionally.
Yahweh name doesn't have the same meaning as Yehovah
.No human has the right to change a name given directly by God. why do you call him Jesus? According to the Bible, an angel instructed Joseph to name his son Yeshua. Matthew 5:18 Yes, according to the Gospel of Matthew, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and instructed him to name his son Jesus (Yeshua) because he would save his people from their sins. The name "Jesus" is the English translation of the Hebrew name Yeshua, which means "Yahweh saves" or "The LORD is salvation".
WHY are they HIDING GOD'S NAME? | The YESHUA TRUTH the CHURCH won’t TELL YOU
The change of these names was not a single event, but a three-stage mechanical breakdown of the original Hebrew Blueprint. It was driven by a combination of linguistic "telephone" and a deliberate effort by the Roman-led Church to distance the faith from its Hebrew roots.
To understand why the names, the Sabbath, and the Feasts were changed, you have to look at the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) and the Council of Laodicea (363 AD). This wasn't just a "misunderstanding"; it was a deliberate divorce from the Hebrew Blueprint.
The Roman-led Church didn't just want to "add" to the faith; they wanted to kill the root to make the religion acceptable to the Roman Empire.
1. The Greek "Translation" (Stage One)
As the message moved into the Roman Empire, the Hebrew names were squeezed into the Greek language, which lacked the proper sounds to support them.
-
Yeshua (ישוע) became Iēsous. Because Greek has no "Sh" sound and requires male names to end in "s," the name was structurally altered.
-
Yochanan became Ioannes (John).
-
Ya'akov became Iakobos (James).
2. The Latin "Standard" (Stage Two)
When the Roman Catholic Church took control, they translated the Greek into Latin (the Vulgate).
-
Iēsous became Iesus.
-
The names were further "Latinized" to fit the tongue of Rome, moving them even further away from the original sound and meaning intended by Yehovah.
3. The English "Invention" (Stage Three)
This is where the final "addition" occurred. As you noted, the letter "J" is a late addition to the alphabet.
-
The Timeline: For 1,500 years, the name was pronounced with an "I" or "Y" sound.
-
The Change: In the 16th and 17th centuries, English printers began using the "J" to distinguish the consonant sound. Iesus became Jesus.
-
The Result: A carnal world accepted a name that is phonetically disconnected from the Father. By the time you get to "Jesus" or "James," the Hebrew connection to Salvation and Yehovah has been completely erased.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
While linguists blame "natural evolution," the Truth reveals a more calculated culprit:
-
The Spirit of Rome: The Roman Church sought to create a "Universal" (Catholic) religion. To make it palatable to the pagan world, they stripped away the "Jewishness" of the Savior and His disciples.
-
The Translators: Men like Jerome and later English scholars prioritized the "sound" of their own languages over the Sanctity of the Original Name.
The Mechanical Failure
By changing the names, they "subtracted" the power of the Hebrew identity and "added" a Western identity.
-
Ya'akov (the name of the Patriarch) was turned into James—a name that didn't even exist in the ancient world.
-
Yeshua (The Father's Salvation) was turned into a generic, 600-year-old English label.
The Verdict: If you are following "Jesus and James," you are following a Westernized translation. If you want to walk the Narrow Way, you must return to the Original Blueprint: Yeshua and His disciples who lived and died by the Torah.
“Sin is to know what you ought to do and then not do it.”
Are you aware that Scripture has been altered to change God’s name over 6800 times in your bible? His name is not the “Lord”.
Webster's dictionary defines the word Lord as someone or something having power, authority, or influence; a master or ruler. it is a surname. Man has removed the name of the Heavenly Father and His Son from His own book. Perhaps names aren't very important in the modern world or to you, but in the scriptures, we can find that they are very important.
The Hebrew name Yeshua ( ישוע) is His Son's name. Yeshua means salvation, the name Jesus has no meaning, the English translation is only 400 years old.
The wrongful use of the name of Yehovah your God is to break the third commandment. It is blasphemous, it is "taking in vain" of the name of the God of Israel. His name was Son has been changed around 900 times. He has a Hebrew name, he is a Jew, and His name is not Jesus. His name is Yeshua, which means salvation. The Messiah's name never was "Jesus" and the name “Jesus" is actually an invention of man. Are you aware? the letter J is only 400-500 years old and not found in the Hebrew alphabet. A question that has come to my mind is, “Is it ok to call Jesus by a different name”? you would probably say no. then I would ask you why it is ok to change His given name to Jesus. Hebrews 1:3 This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.
The next verses explain that names are important, Yehovah Himself will give the ones who overcome a new name.

Revelation 2:17 "Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious, I will give some of the manna that has been hidden away in heaven. And I will give to each one a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one understands except the one who receives it.
Philippians 2:9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names,

Exodus 20:7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

Romans 10:12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: (Christian) The same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich for all who call on Him, 13, “Everyone who calls on the name of the (YEHOVAH) will be saved.” 14 How then can they call on the One they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
Unless you want to carry on your father's falsehoods
Jeremiah 16:19. "Our fathers have inherited nothing but falsehood, Futility and things of no profit." Can a man make gods for himself? Yet they are not gods!
Webster's dictionary definition of the word "vain": Having no real substance, value, or importance; empty; void; worthless; unsatisfying. “Thy vain excuse.'' ... profane: treat
(something sacred) with irreverence or disrespect. Sacrilegious
God does not want us to alter or change His name or His Son’s name in any way. The third commandment is very clear, “Thou shalt not take the name of the Yehovah thy Elohim in vain” The name of God used most often in the Hebrew Bible is YAWEH (,(י ה ו ה YEHOVAH which means shall save.
As the language is read right to left, the letter sequence is .
actually HWHY, and means this pictographically:
-
H = ה = hey = behold/reveal/breath
-
W = י = yod = arm/hand/work/deed/worship
-
H = ה = hey = behold/reveal/breath
-
Y = ו = vav = nail/secure/add/and
When read pictographically, the word YHWH means, “Behold the hand, behold the nail.”
As others have pointed out, this would mean nothing in Judaism. But in Christianity, the hand and nail are direct references to Jesus’ crucifixion, the defining act around which the entire Christian faith revolves. So for some Christians, the name YHWH is God telling humanity how He will save them.
