I’m sure very few of you have. I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit disturbed… Wow. Food for thought. I’m sure there’s an answer though. Their names were translated/Anglicized after going from Greek to English. The names of the Apostles are of Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew origins. The Hebrew, Aramaic and “Greek” named Apostles were: Shim’on = Simon (Hebrew origin). Y’hochanan = John (Hebrew origin). Mattithyahu = Matthew (Hebrew origin). Ya’aqov = James (Hebrew origin meaning Jacob). Bar-Tôlmay = Bartholomew (Aramaic, which is related to Hebrew). Judah = Jude / Saint Jude (not to be confused with Judas Iscariot, Hebrew origin). Yehuda = Judas Iscariot (Hebrew origin, Betrayed Yeshua/Yehosua the Messiah). Cephas / Kephas = Peter (Hebrew / Aramaic origin meaning “Rock”). Tau’ma = Thomas (Aramaic origin). Andrew = Andrew (Greek origin. Is the brother of Cephas / Kephas). Phillip = Phillip (Greek origin). You will note that there are only 11 names, that is because there were 2 Apostles named Ya’aqov (James), which brings the total to 12 apostles. Link To expand on this, Jesus’s name is Anglicized in this way as well. We get Jesus from the Latin form of the Greek “Ἰησοῦς”(Iēsous), which is derived from the Herbrew “ישוע”(Yeshu’a, which meant “YHWH is Salvaion”, YHWH, or Yahweh being the name of God). When another form of that name, ” יְהוֹשֻׁעַ”(Yeoshu’a) was allowed to Anglicize through a different set of corruptions, it entered the English Language through Reformist Protestants as the name “Joshua”.Yes. Jesus’s actual name is Joshua. joshua christ this is fascinating oily josh Huh Oily Josh & his greasy boys I know like five guys named Joshua Greek culture was all over the Middle East; people with Greek names were *everywhere*. Modern Turkey was heavily Greek in culture until it was conquered by the Turks. And many Jews spoke Greek, which was the ‘universal’ language, which is why the New Testament was written in Greek. Incidentally….. Mary = Miriam (Hebrew) Joseph = Yosef (Hebrew) Jacob = Yakov (Hebrew) Rebecca = Rivka (Hebrew) Abraham = Avraham (pronounced Ah-vrah-HAHM, Hebrew) Moses = Moshe (Hebrew) Isaac =Yitzchak (pronounced “yitz-HAHK,” with a guttural H, Hebrew) This is what Jews mean when we say our holy book was stolen from us and that Christians didn’t “inherit” it. We were literally removed from it. And before you say “oh, well, it’s just a translation! That happens all the time!”, I want you to think about two things: minor characters like Shedrach, Mesach, and Abednego retained their names. It’s only the major figures in Judaism who lost their names this way. And also, tell me it’d be the same story if Fred, Sam, Gael, and Lawrence were traveling to Mordor to destroy the One Ring. Or would you feel like it might be a wee bit, oh, OUT OF CONTEXT AND APPROPRIATIVE??  Time to spill everything on my christian friends And the 12 disciples also correlate with the zodiacPeter- AriesSimon- Taurus James- Gemini(Spring equinox)Andrew- CancerJohn- LeoPhillip- Virgo(Summer solstice)Nathaniel- libraThomas- Scorpio James- Sagittarius (Autumn equinox)Matthew- Capricorn Thaddeus- Aquarius Judas- pisces (Winter solstice)Leaving Jesus as the sun.And if you study astrology enough, you learn the signs represent the 12 cranial nerves of the human brain. Jesus at the the center as the pineal gland, and the “disciples” follow him.The pineal glad releases what is called Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) it travels from the center of your brain, down your spine (33 verbates in your spine, Jesus lived 33 years) returns up to the where it is sacrificed in Golgatha (YOUR skull) killed between two thieves (your ears, they rob you of your singularity)Now why is that Important? CSF not only regulates your circadian rhythm, it also regulates your dopamine, serotonin, and melotonin. Which is why in the Bible CSF is referred to as the “river of life”In Matthew Jesus says“If thy eye be single, your body will fill with light” When you close your eyes, and bring yourself in to your closet of meditation, “the dark place” your body start to do produce melotonin.Melotonin by itself Aids eye functionReduces oxidative stressControls cellular functionPrevents cellular atrophyBoosts brain functionBoosts immunity Improves heart healthLower blood pressure Anti-stress hormoneAnti-agiingImproves heart healthLowers blood pressure Helps the gut membraneCan improve insulin functionUseful in treating GERDBeneficial for migrainesImproves eye healthImproves thyroid function This is why the Bible should never be taken as a literal book. It is a holy book of a holy science that is shrouded in allegory. 7 churches Peter addresses in the book a revelation? You mean the 7 chakras? Matthew 13:34Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. 35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:“I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.” https://youtu.be/xAXq0G_AcYQ -- source link
