Why don't we go back to calling Jesus by his real name?


Koine is no longer the lingua franca of the Western world, English is.

So at the very least, Jesus should be referred to as Joshua, and better yet, as Yeshua.

Anything else robs Jesus of his true ethnicity and religious heritage.

Call him whatever you want, I call him figment of your imagination. What he's called gets valid when you can actually prove that there even was an historical person even remotely similar to Cheezuz. Good luck with that btw, you'll need it!

Jesus has many names. Emmanuel is another but I like Jesus.

Jesus is above all, my Lord and Savior. He died for me and I live my life for Him.
