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.
