Thanks for balancing things out and presenting the more-or-less positive side by creating Yahshua. I didn't really intend to trample on anyone's religion when I rewrote and expanded Yashuah, and I hope I didn't come on too strong -- but the H at the end of YashuaH bugs me because this H at the end is completely incorrect in terms of Hebrew linguistics, and I don't have any idea where they get this H at the end from, other than from the Pentagrammaton of Renaissance occultists. Some of them certainly do get it from the Pentagrammaton, as you can see on page http://yhwh.com/Cross/cross22.htm etc. AnonMoos 07:42, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

I rewrote Yahshuah to synchronize with this article, and hopefully be more accurate. AnonMoos 17:10, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Good page, I added the Daniel Segraves book, some comments.

"Those who follow Sacred Name teachings .. believe that it is essential to salvation..." There is a lot of variation, and this could be seen as an overstatement.

"transliteration of the Hebrew יהושע (yod-he-waw-shin-ayin - usually transliterated as Y'hoshua or sometimes Yahoshua)" Yahshua and Yahushua are the most common, in my experience, these other two are rare in the sacred name (which some proponents prefer to be called qodesh name) movements.

"Critics say..." Also that multi-syllabic theophoric names always begin with a 'Yeh' sound, never with a 'Yah' sound as documented in the Gerard Gertoux and Scott Jones Tetragrammaton articles, as well as, the Segraves book.

"perhaps developed by leaders such as Angelo B. Traina and C.O. Dodd." Andrew N. Dugger as well, right in there.

Good article. For now I won't make any changes based on these.
