Regarding Semantics

"Jesus was a good Christian boy who went to church every sunday"
We might as well begin with a Before/After kind of test in which you, the reader, are its main protagonist. How many mistakes can you spot on the top of this article? Most believers will spot three; only those "in the know" will catch the fourth one. Try it yourself before you go on reading!
One of the most effective weapons which the enemy of God has used for his purpose of separation and deceit has historically been semantics. Semantics studies the connotations and denonations of words. While "to connote" means "association" and "relationship," "to denote" means "to mean."
Many of the words we used possess "connotations," i.e., relationships with other words and some of these very relationships are good, and some are bad, negative ones. For instance, the word "Christ" has positive connotations for Christians, but very negative ones for Jews and Arabs, due to anti-Jewish, Anti-Arab progroms which have always been carried out "in the name of Christ" The word "Messiah" on the other hand, has positive connotations for Jews, who are awaiting His arrival.
The purpose of all of this apparent "dissorder" or "mistake" in the translations is no coincidence at all. There is a punctual, calculated effort from ha satan to de-Judaize Scripture and to bring confusion and division into one body, “Israel.”
But our God is again pouring His grace and closing such gaps, and taking His Bible beliving children back to their roots where they should have never left. From Christ, to Messiah, from Jesus, to Yeshua, from day of rest, to Shabbat (Sabath). It is a reset bottom, coming up to its roots.
1. His name is Yeshua (Mathew 1:21)
2. He is Jewish (Mathew 1:1-17)
3. He went to Synagogue every shabbat ( Luke 4:16)
4. He kept on the Shabbat, and all Biblical Holidays ( Luke 4:16)
The Real Jewish Messiah
For almost 2,000 years, the world has known a non-Jewish Yeshua, a Yeshua for which a Jewish person must sacrifice his or her Jewishness or else be forced to reject Him. ThisYeshua never existed. The real Yeshua is as Jewish as Manischewitz kosher-for-Passover egg matzoth. He was born in Bethlehem, according to the Hebrew prophet Micah (5:2), to a Jewish mother who was never called Mary, but Miriam. He was a rabbi who observed Passover, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, and all the holy days of Israel. He died in the Jewish city of Jerusalem as the Sacrificial Lamb, according to the prophecy of Yeshayahu / Isaiah 53. The fact that He was rejected by His own and became a Light to the Gentiles was even foretold of the Jewish Messiah by the Hebrew prophets.
The real Yeshua was never called Jesus, His real name was Yeshua, which means "God is Salvation" in Hebrew. Nor was His last name ever Christ. Christ is simply a Greek-English version of the Hebrew word Mashiach: The long awaited Jewish Messiah. And the word Christian is simply a Greek way of saying "follower of the Messiah," and what could be more Jewish than that. The first believers in Yeshua were not called Catholic or Protestant, Orthodox, or Baptist. They were Jews who believed in their Messiah, which seemed to be the most Jewish of all possible beliefs.
