There is only one way to spell the name of the Lord in Hebrwe: Yeshua.
It comes from the root word Ya-Sha / Ye-Sha -->Yeshua - Salvation.
(Matthew 1:21). The name Yehoshua is more likly to be the name of
Moses's servant - Yehoshua Bin Nun. I am not a scholar but
I do speak Hebrew and understand it very well - it's my mother's toungue.
