What is your reason for calling them “Shimon” and “Yeshua” when everyone calls them “Simon” and “Jesus”?

I call them by their given birth names, not the names of Greek mythology.

“Jesus” is a Greek transliteration of an acronym ‘YSHU’ from a Rabbinical curse on Yeshua: Yimach Shimo Uezichro, which means “Let his name be forgotten and never remembered.”

Since repeating that absurd curse dishonors my Lord, I do not speak it.
