If you call me by any other name than my name, I won't answer. If you persist, I'll get offended. The Messiah must really be upset with us.

Jesus is not a phonetic translation of the real name of the Messiah, Yashua. That would translate to Joshua into Jesus.

I am fully aware that Jesus is the English transliteration of the Greek name "Iesous". It still doesn't answer the question. A name is a name. It still doesn't explain where the Greek transliteration comes from. Biblical scholars say the Messiah was called Yahoshua or Ya'shua, which means savior. The question is valid because who should ask who are we really worshipping (2 Corinthians 11:4 "For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him]."
