The New Testament was written in Greek not Hebrew. In addition. We speak English not Hebrew. If you want to play the sacred name game don’t try to force it on others. The apostles were given the gift of tongues so all could here “in their own language”. If those who ascribe to the sacred name cult want to be consistent and not hypocrites they had better stop referring to (hard J) Jerusalem, the (hard J) book of John, the (hard J) Jews, the land of (hard J) Judah and all begin to speak Hebrew.

Fine - All you have to do is explain how those Hebrew and Aramaic puns came to be hidden beneath the Greek text. That's all it takes... Otherwise your declarations are meaningless.

In addition. We speak English not Hebrew.

Right, so next time you meet a Mexican named Miguel, call him Mike, and be sure to tell him he has no right to be offended... because we speak English around here.

Read upthread

The bare FACT of the matter is that His name is undoubtedly YESHUA, as your own proofs admit. The one who is offended, and the one who is 'forcing', is the one insisting upon the Greek transliteration instead of the name it was transliterated from... The very height of absurdity. You want to call him Jesus, knock yerself out.

If those who ascribe to the sacred name cult want to be consistent and not hypocrites they had better stop referring to (hard J) Jerusalem, the (hard J) book of John, the (hard J) Jews, the land of (hard J) Judah and all begin to speak Hebrew.

Fine, if you want me to bump it up a notch, I surely can.
