if the people who wrote the bible knew his new was Yeshua, why didnt they put that instead of Jesus?
better yet, how the hell did they come up with Jesus from Yeshua.

The name Jesus is a very short step from the Greek 'Iesus'. Since Christianity is far more Greek than Jewish, it's only appropriate that you call him by his Greek name.

Why does it matter what translation of His name we use? I doubt that when we see Him,He is going to smite those who don't speak Hebrew.

I think it's the influence of Spanish Catholism.

The NT is as Greek as it is Aramaic, the latter, which if you may not have noticed ,is a dead lanquage... right up there with Latin.
