I'm normally a skeptic, but when you see things like that, it kinda changes your opinion.

Do you watch movies or hear stories where demons are cast out in the name of Jesus?
Do you ever wonder if people who do not say or write, Jesus, but some Hebrew or Aramaic name instead, are demon possessed?
This makes no sense to me and maybe why I hold the opinion that I do.

YVHV is the Hebrew designation for God because it is their belief that saying the name of Yahweh is prohibited. It is not Jesus' name. Jesus is more correctly Yeshua basically because there was no letter "J" in that language at the time of Jesus(which is the English translation of his name. I do not see the problem

But Jesus proper name is Yeshua in the original hebrew. Jesus is the greek form so if you want to be technical about it, we are the ones who are pronouncing and spelling it wrong.

Hebrew was already a dead language in the time of Jesus and preserved by scholars in the schools of Babylon.

To the people who wrote the Old Testament, anything higher than an ordinary person was called a god.

What? No, maybe try again.
I get the basic concept, such as if you were to read a Spanish Bible, it would say, Jesus, which is actually practically how it would be pronounced in the original Greek but just not quite so harsh on the fist syllable.

Well if you go back to the language the original word was written in you get the name, but everyone and everything has to be translated for the people who are reading it.
It would not be wrong to call Juan, John for instance if you are English speaking...it is the SAME word. The words were translated in the days after Jesus also for God made the people speak different languages right.
I am not a believer in any religion myself but this is how it seems reasonable to answer you, to me.

This is stupid. What is in your heart is what matters, its belief. Do you think that if you pray sincerely to him, God cares what name you use? No, if your prayers are sincere, he hears them. When I pray I simply call him Father.
All the ambiguity could have been eliminated by the New Testament writers just saying Joshua.
Ya'shuah or Ye'shuah is the same word as is pronounced by us as "joshua" and the name of our saviour is also seen as Yahoshuah or Yeho'shuah - the name means, "YHWH is salvation"
when the bible says there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved, this name is what is being referred to, not the name 'jesus'
They just invented a language based on the old one.
AGAIN,
How is hebrew a dead language when it is spoken by millions today?
Do a word search in the New Testament for "angel".

Where for the love of God does this exist at all in the NT?
Good for you.
