It has seemed strange to me when I come across this type article that the name Jesus isn't used. The article is published to the general public, the majority of whom know Jesus as named.

I'm not an uneducated man, but I had to guess the name used referred to Jesus from context, when I first encounted it (relatively recently).

You can use any name you like. I am puzzled as to why you would use a comparatively obscure name instead of the one known instantly by most people, since the language used is the one aimed at just those people.

Are you objecting at the mere use of the Name Yeshua, or is it simply that I didn't define it up front? If the latter, I can make a point of that in the future if you feel it is an actual point of confusion (so far nobody else seems to have been confused, but I'll grant that most of the comments have been by Freepers who are used to my custom, and I suppose some lurkers might have been confused).

If the former, sorry, but that's not changing. I've already explained to you why I prefer Yeshua to Jesus, and I don't understand why you don't understand my preference in this matter.
