I’m not looking for an argument on religion but I am simply following a 2,000-year-old Jewish tradition regarding the origins of Christianity. Only in Israel and India does Jesus go by a Hindi name, Yeshu, which in Egypt was applied to Krishna.

Oh. That's a new one on me. But maybe, as this writer, dealing with the claim that "Iesous" or "Jesus" is a pagan corruption, states, you can "simply take "Yahshua" and extricate "Ahshu" from it and now we have a name which is derived directly from that of the Hindu goddess Shiva and Ya is the heathen god of Ebla. And that cloud passing overhead looks like a poodle, therefore it is a poodle."

Are you saying His original name was Yeshu versus 'Yehoshua/"Yeshua'" or that these come from Yeshu from India? And that Yehoshua was not a common name in the time of the Second Temple?

And this is something you have objectively researched and thus hold that this means Yehoshua/"Yeshua did not exist, but that the story of Christ "came from straight from Egyptian mythology" as your author (unless you are him) contends?

And you are not looking for an argument on religion??? -

Good grief - hebrew and the hindu language are not the same. They do not even contain the same definition in their base languages.

your 2000 yr old 'jewish' tradition if clearly bogus.

This is patent nonsense. Yahshua/Yeshua/Y'Shua is the familiar form or contraction of Yehoshua/Joshua (YHWH is our salvation). Yeshua, in Hebrew, literally means 'Salvation'. It means exactly the same thing in Aramiac, and the earliest Aramaic texts (contemporary with the earliest complete Greek, and predating your Talmudic sources) use 'Yeshua' for 'Jesus'. Yeshu/Yaesu/Yashu is simply a further familiar contraction (perhaps corruption) of Yeshua, which is not even evident until hundreds of years after the fact.

Messianic Hebrews use 'Yeshua'.

Aramaic Christians use 'Yeshua'.

2,000 year old Jewish traditions are not all that they're cracked up to be. Did you know that epilepsy is the result of having sex too soon after having a pee?

"The Rabbis taught: 'On coming from a privy (outdoor toilet) a man should not have sexual intercourse till he has waited long enough to walk half a mile, because the demon of the privy is with him for that time; if he does, his children will be epileptic.'" (Babylonian Talmud, Gittin 70a)

.
“Yeshu” was an acronym created by Prushim Rabbis. His name was Yeshua, not Yeshu. It means Yehova’s Salvation.

The acronym was of “Yimach Shimo Vezichro.” “Let his name be forgotten and never remembered.” Every educated Rabbi on Earth knows this quite well; where did you lose your way?
