Yeshua? Why not just use the name Jesus? You sound a little uppity for my taste sir.

Yeshua is his name.

Jesus is a false name created in the early 17th century for the KJV Bible, to hide his real name.

Every Greek MS known has his name as Yeshua (Joshua, with the original ‘soft’ J)

Why don’t we change your name?

Most of us realize that names change spelling and pronunciaton in different languages. Still the same name. For instance:

Peter - English

Petros - Greek

Kephas (Cephas) - Aramaic

Petrus - Latin

Piotr - Polish

Pierre - French

Pietro - Italian

Same name. Nobody's hiding or falsifying anything.
