Channel: DynAggelos
Date: 2015-02-07

In this information-packed video we will "debunk" the idea that Jesus' name is connected to the name "Zeus". First we will talk about the spelling and pronunciation of the names Jesus and Zeus, in English and Greek. Then we'll talk about the supposed compound word-endings SOS, SUS, and SEUS (afterwards I'll go over what the real Greek word-endings are). Also, I'll tell you the meaning of the word sos, give the true history of the name Jesus, and more.

If you're looking for an informed answer to the question "Does Jesus' name come from 'Zeus'?", this is likely the video for you.
