The copyist (scribes) and most translators/transliterators of the Set Apart
("Qodesh, Holy, Sacred") Scrolls
("Bible, Scriptures") of YAHWEH have SUBSTITUTED
the TRUE Set Apart NAME of our Heavenly Father
and the TRUE Set Apart NAME of His Son
YAHSHUA ("the ONLY NAME under heaven GIVEN among men whereby
we MUST be RESCUED or REDEEMED" ["Saved"] (Acts 12:4) for the
names/titles of idols/gods/goddesses used in pagan/devil worship.
There is a very SIMILAR likeness in the IMAGE and the NAME. A Coincidence?
Here is a quote from Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend, by J. C. J. Metford:
"It is known that the Greek name endings of sus, seus, and sous (which are phonetic pronunciations for Zeus) were attached by the Greeks to names and geographical areas as a means to give honor to their supreme deity, Zeus. Examples given are: Parnassus, a sacred mountain in Greece: the Greek deity of wine and son of Zeus, Dionysus; the Greek hero of the Trojan war was Odysseus, and the Greek deity of healing was Iesous or the Latin Iesus/Jesus. They also changed the names of the prophets EliYahu (whose name means 'my mighty one is Yah') and Elyesha (whose name means 'my mighty one saves'), to 'Elias' and 'Eliseus' (which means 'my mighty one is Zeus'). This was done so often that it later was the basis for their rules of written grammar which followed the common or vernacular spoken language."
Je - SUS - The English and Spanish lettering
je' - ZUS - The English Dictionary pronunciation
heh - SOOS' - The

ZEUS - The supreme God of the Greeks
Also known by the Romans as Jupiter (Zu-pater or Zu-piter meaning Father Zeus)
"While there are some out there claiming that "Jesus" is somehow derived from "Zeus", I have yet to find anyone who is willing to present hard evidence of this claim."
Is Jesus The Name? In Colliers magazine of Sept. 11, 1937, appeared a statement which scholars know to be a fact, but which the average layman does not understand; or, if it is known, it is thought inconsequential. Paul Parnell wrote, as follows: "The founder of Christianity probably never heard Himself called Jesus Christ during His life. He was known by His Hebrew name Joshua. After the crucifixion, He was referred to as Joshua the Messiah, until the time many years later, when His name was changed into Greek, and became Jesus the Christ." SOURCE
How This Image Came About Also see my "Jesus Of The Week" Submission Esus - (Celtic: "Lord," or "Master"), powerful Celtic deity, one of three mentioned by the Roman poet Lucan in the 1st century AD; the other two were Taranis ("Thunderer") and Teutates ("God of the People). Esus' victims, according to later commentators, were sacrificed by being ritually stabbed and hung from trees. A relief relief for the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris portrays him as a bent woodman cutting a branch from a willow tree. This and a related relief from Trier, Ger., associate him with the sacred bull and his accompanying crane and egrets. Encyclopedia Britannica Esus by Obsidian

The Esus Group was named for the Gallic God who, depending on which history one reads, was either the God of Commerce or the God of War, which on certain days can seem as one."

Note the highlighted Elizeus (verse 27) in this A.K.J.V of 1611. This should have been properly transliterated Yliyah. It is evident that the translators SUBSTITUTED and COMBINED the names of the Canaanite god El and the Greek god Zeus for the Name/Title of our Heavenly Father and Creator Yahweh Almighty. CLOSE UP
I believe this same practice of SUBSTITUTION and COMBINATION was also used for the Name of Yahweh's Son, Yahshua. In doing this the translators CHANGED the Name of Yahweh's Son to mean 'Zeus is Salvation' inSTEAD of 'YAHWEH IS REDEEMER' which is what His Son's Hebrew Name, TRULY MEANS (YAH = YAHWEH and shua= REDEEMER ).

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity." - Ann Coulter SOURCE
There is a problem with using "Christ" as a title in reference to Yahshua, namely it was already a religious title in Greece long before Yahshua was born. Initiates of the Eleusinian Mysteries were called "digenes", twice-born, and "christos". The mysteroi of Eleusinia are the original ORIGINAL "Christs". Description:

KRSNA, Krishna, Chrishna (various spellings)
Kristina, Christina (feminine Christian name)
Hmmm! Many images used to depict Krishna and Christ are feminine, especially the ones that show them with long hair. Compare the Scripture where it is said that nature shows that long hair is a shame unto man. (I Corinthians 11:14-15)
"The term "Christian" was a label given the followers of the way of life that Christ taught (They were first CALLED this in Antioch BY GENTILES - Acts 11:26)." From: Mainstream Christianity Or Cult?
The Word Is Greek, And Has A Formerly Pagan Usage
Note also that Krishna is part of a TRINITY (TRIMURTI) GODHEAD as the magazine publication "BACK TO GODHEAD" published by the Hare Krishna movement plainly states.
Dictionary of the Bible by James Hastings (1963 Charles Scribners's Sons), pg. 138, states under the caption, "3. The Spread of the Name. - Since "Christian" was not originally a self-designation of the followers of Jesus, it is not surprising that it is rarely found in the New Testament." Hastings Dictionary of the Bible further states that Roman authorities gave the Messiah's followers the name "Christians" but the word itself to the pagans is associated with heinous crimes and vices. In this section "4. The Meaning of the Name.- The Roman authorities, who first designated the disciples of Jesus as Christians, attempted thereby to characterize them as a political group or party, held together by their loyalty to the party head, Christos. While originally the title was given for juridical convenience without implying a derogatory sense, the pagan mob must at a very early time have associated it with heinous crimes and vices ... Not too much emphasis should be placed, therefore upon the etymology of christos. Though literally meaning the "Anointed One," i.e. the Messiah, the title soon lost its original denotation and became a personal name in the Greek-speaking church." The New Encyclopedia Britannica, Volume 4, (copyright 1982), pg. 460 states under the caption Christianity: "The concept of "Christianity" (Christianismos), which denotes what is "essence," does not appear in the New Testament writings. Not until the time of the Apostolic Fathers (i.e., The Christian thinkers of the late 1st and early 2nd centuries) was it used as a Christian parallel to the concept "Judaism" (Ioudaismos), which the Apostle Paul had used in his letter to the Galatians, chapter 1, verse 13 to characterize the Jewish way of faith and Life. The term Christianity was first used in such a manner by Ignatius the Bishop of Antioch (died c. AD 110), in his Letter to the Magnesians." Christian - the name given by the Greeks or Romans, probably in reproach, to the followers of Jesus. It was first used at Antioch. The names by which the disciples were known among themselves were "brethren," "the faithful," "elect," "saints," "believers." But as distinguishing them from the multitude without, the name "Christian" came into use, and was universally accepted. This name occurs but three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Pet. 4:16). - Easton's Bible Dictionary 1897
