Willard, you are correct in that there is not a “J” sound in Hebrew. The names in the various English translations of the Bible are “anglicanized” for English-speaking readers. Jesus’ name in Hebrew is Y’shua, close to Joshua. Not sure what it would be in Aramaic.

Artists through the ages have painted their subjects any way they want. Although Jesus was indeed a Judahite, descriptions in the Bible make Him sound like He had lighter, even ruddy coloring, which is also common in the Mediterranean area. Western painters have tried to show that, but some have also attempted to make Him look more Middle Eastern or “Jewish.” The millions of Christians are not responsible for their artwork and shouldn’t be condemned because of artists’ use of their imagination.

Maybe the Vatican should publish their pictures of Jesus. They would be very valuable.

1. Where did the name Jesus came from, when his name was in Hebrew and Aramaic.

2. So since the Latin, Greek, old English had no letter J , who introduced the letter J,and if you transliteration was correct to leosous, if you put a J does the name have same spiritual meaning.

3. Where did you can those white long haired smooth face so called Jesus, ( the Hebrew boy born by mirrian-mary was not a like that)
If you don’t have his actual pics which authority gave you the right or to continuous us those so called fake pics of Jesus, deceiving the world.

If ask Vatican priests who hold the evidence they will give you his actual pics if you are obsessed by pics in all your books.

Thank you for your question. A Mormon can marry a non-Mormon, and many people have chosen to do so. However, they will not be able to be married in the temple. Only members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who have a current temple recommend can enter dedicated temples.

Thanks for your question. Mormonism is not a cult. The commandment not to drink alcohol, coffee, or tea, and not to use tobacco was given as a revelation from Jesus Christ to our first prophet Joseph Smith in 1833. The commandment can be read here — https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/89?lang=eng

The commandment was given because of the bad things that will be offered to us “In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days.” This law of health also gives us advice on how to eat healthy foods.

We partake of bread and water every sabbath day as a representation of the body and blood of Christ. We don’t believe in transubstantiation, that the sacramental offerings become the literal body and blood of Christ. Thanks for your question.
