"I'm sure Christ was the ONLY man named "Jesus" ever in world history..."

Nope. Check the Old Testament. Lots of Jesus' there. Just not THE Christ.

Lots of men were named Joshua (which in Greek is Jesus) in Hebrew culture. Given the popularity of the names Joshua and Joseph, I'm sure there were a lot of men named Joshua bar Joseph (Jesus, son of Joseph).

That was my point. Sorry, I didn't indicate sarcasm on my post.
