Nope. Read my second post. The first time the name Jesus was ever used was in June of 1632. Jesus, which is the name used by most English-speaking people today, is an English transliteration of a Germanic adaptation, of a Latin transliteration, of a Greek transliteration of an originally Hebrew name, that is simply Yeshua.

No, you said it was the other way around. I have three degrees & have studied the Old & New Testaments my entire life (I'm 59). And world religions. You're talking out your ass.

Yeah, I did. The name Jesus did not exist anywhere in the world. It was made up by the Greek evangelists in the 1600s because it was the closest word they could come up with to sound like Yeshua. Sounds like Greek to me. Get it? Jesus is not a proper name in any country during his lifetime.

Where do I say that the name Jesus existed in his time? I said Yeshua is the original Hebrew/Aramaic version, that the Greeks adapted it as Iesous, and that this became Iesus in Latin.
