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?

You really ought not to press this argument, editor, since anyone can google "Jesus" and get the translation into a whole range of languages, Aramaic, Arabic, Syriac, what-have-you. His name was on the Cross three times: in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Do you suppose it was spelled the same in all three inscriptions?

This idea that "Jesus" is a 17th century pseudonym meant to cover his Jewishness, is nonsense and just makes you sound paranoid. It would show a better grasp of the evidence, just to say "I prefer Yeshua, but of course translations and transliterations are fine as well."

The group of better than thou Jewish wanna be posers try to stay in the Pharisee tradition of Jesus day.

What complete nonsense. What name do you think was used in the Vulgate? (1400 years before the KJV). Here's a hint: "Iesus"

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

Again, total nonsense. In fact, the Septuagint renders the name of the gentleman who ruled Israel immediately after the Exodus, who is always called "Joshua" by modern English speakers, as IESOUS.
