Jesus is translated Joshua in Hebrew and means **GOD IS HELP**!! **JOSHUA** in Hebrew is phonetically pronounced *YESHUA* since the *J* in Hebrew is pronounced *YEH**.
Matthew 1:21-23: The angel of the Lord said, " She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name **JESUS** {Which means **GOD IS HELP**}, because He will save His people from their sins."

Luke 2:9,10: An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. The angel said, "I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a **SAVIOR** has been born to you; He is the **MESSIAH**, the **LORD**!"

I Peter 2:24,25: He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness "By His wounds you have been healed." For "You were like sheep going astray," but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your soul!

Dueteronomy 18:17-19: The Lord said to Moses, "I will raise up a Prophet like you from among your fellow Israelites, and I will put My words in His mouth. He will tell them everything I command Him.

John 8:12 (KJV)
�Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.�
John 12:26 King James Version (KJV)
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
Yes, although I agree systematic theology has twisted doctrines out of Sha'ul's letters that for the Church have become doctrines of demons, but to judge Sha'ul from a culture, religion, language and two centuries removed from his, is down right unfair to Sha'ul.
One can hardly condemn a Jewish Sha'ul for telling Gentiles to use his life as an example in following a Jewish Y'shua.
The problem with Sha'ul is not his letters, the problem is with what Gentile Christians do with them.
