Stop Calling Him “Yeshua.”
That’s Not His Name.
“The irony is almost painful. The same people who insist on calling Jesus "Yeshua" because they want to be more authentic than ordinary Christians rarely stop to consider that the Apostles themselves lived, preached, wrote, and quoted Scripture in Greek. The New Testament is Greek. The churches were Greek-speaking. The Septuagint was the Bible of the early Church. Even the Jewish men walking beside Christ bore Greek names without embarrassment. Yet two thousand years later, a man with a shofar in the garage and a Hebrew Roots podcast subscription becomes convinced that he has uncovered a level of authenticity unavailable to Peter, Paul, Luke, John, and the congregations they planted. At some point, trying to be more Hebrew than the Apostles stops being reverence and starts becoming a theological hobby.
What makes the Matthew argument so difficult to escape is that Matthew repeatedly shows his work whenever preserving an original-language phrase actually matters. He gives his readers Raca. He gives them Mammon. He gives them Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani. In each case, the original words remain in the text precisely because Matthew wants the reader to know those specific words were spoken. Yet when the angel announces the name of the Messiah, Matthew suddenly abandons this practice entirely and gives us Ἰησοῦς without qualification, explanation, or linguistic footnote. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Matthew preserved original-language expressions when he believed preserving them mattered. He did not do so with the name of Jesus because, for Matthew and the Church that received his Gospel, Ἰησοῦς was not standing in for the real name. It was the real name.”
My theory is that this is retaliation from the Rio Grande presbytery over @ZacharyGarris book “Honor Thy Fathers.” RGP has several churches with female deacons/deaconesses, and I doubt they took too kindly to Garris recovery of the Reformed rejection of such nonsense.
Absolutely insane that these are the charges being brought against @ZacharyGarris and more apparent than ever that this whole circus is a proxy war over something else.

"EXPOSED" but its nothing but half baked, dead wrong, slop that has been public for over a year.
His wife has not worked for almost 5 years.
Right Response gave back the Facebook account AND refunded 10s of thousands of dollars to make amends for the confusion.
And Joel was welcomed and preached at that church in 2024 AFTER your so called expose.
Also NXR Studios is not a 501c(3). So you somehow managed write a sentence where EVERY. SINGLE. CLAIM. is wrong. Impressive.
"Preaching male dominance while leaning on a working wife. Building a media empire on disputed church funds. And spewing anti-Jewish rhetoric while enjoying the perks of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit."
Retard.
