"His name is not Jesus, it is Yeshua."

It still is if you speak Aramaic or Hebrew.

But I speak English and it's been Jesus in English since before my time, so I'll go with established practice.

"Jesus is the Romanization of the Pharisee acronym “YSHU” which stands for Yimach Shimo Uezichro"

That's interesting in that it's incorrect on two counts.

It's not an acronym, and it's Greek rather than Roman.

Jesus/Ιησούς is just the Greek rendering of Joshua and/or Jesus. In Hebrew both names are rendered as Yeshua.

This no different than how the Hebrew Jacob becomes James in English or Seamus in Scottish. That's the way language operates in the real world.

His name is his name, regardless of what language you speak. YSHU is the curse against his name, which you apparently endorse. His name has never been Jesus, and never will be. There is nothing in Greek. The Greeks just copied the Hebrew acronym. Jesus is the Romanization of the cop-out. Ιησούς has nothing whatsoever to do with Yeshua/Joshua unless you wish to curse him; it is phonetically the curse. People's names do not change when they travel in the real world; that is a sorry dishonest alibi. (and Jacob is not Hebrew)
