Jesus is a translated name.
:just like Mary is Miriam, and Joseph ( the dream decoder) was Inyotef in Egypt.
These names were all translated.
You christians all are praying to Josh.

I Dont believe anyways because--->>>
Jesus is actually based off Mithra......
[-The story of a divine child being born of a virgin mother on December 25th, performing healings and resurrections, having 12 disciples (the signs of the zodiac), and having a last supper with flattened bread (which had crosses on them by the way to symbolize the sun) was all done a few thousand years before Jesus. Yes, Jesus is a rip-off of the Persian god of "light and truth" (those symbols Sound familiar?). Mithra makes Jesus look like a cheesy rerun. Look up Mithra yourself if you don't believe me.]

Yep. I did.
It's rather strange that the Angel appeared to Miriam & told her to call the child Immanual, then she went & called him Joushua. Then, everyone calls him Jesus.
Christ, translation isn't Messiah it's Lord. Khrisna = Christos = Lord. It's just a translation in different languages.
Calling someone by their nickname is politically incorrect. Jesus is a nick name therefore all you good politically correct Christians must now call him by his proper name. Yeshua.
I look forward to the great change. ;-x

Jesus is the Greek rendering of a marginally undemanding Hebrew call Yeahshua, the comparable call because of the fact the prophet Joshua interior the previous testomony. Jesus has in no way been used as an basic first call in English as much as in Espanol.

This may be news to many Christians, but it's not exactly hot off the presses. Plenty of people know that "Jesus" is simply a greek name given to Him which has become very dominant over the centuries.

Jehoshua is probably closer.
Hence the Jewish Yeshua, or Yehoshua.
We are praying to the Son of God, come down from heaven.

Yet, He is the only Christ, which is the Greek for Messiah. He is referred to as Yeshua ha Meshiach, or Joshua the Messiah, or Jesus the Christ.
So, what's the real point here?

When his mother called him in for dinner, the word sounded more like "Yeshua." Unless you're reading/hearing it in Aramaic, of course everything about the story is a translation!

Actually the aramaic name was Yeshua.

I thought the character of Jesus was stolen from previous Greek mythology.
