All true, but we speak English, and not Hebrew or Aramaic.

The name that is used in English speaking lands is Jesus. It feels awkward and contrived for me to say Yeshua.

But what matters is that we all refer to the one Lord of lords and King of kings, the only begotten Son of God, the Word become flesh, who died for our sins and rose from the dead.
In English only?

Do you believe that Joseph & Mary and the Jewish community only spoke Greek?
Do you read your Bible?

You've rejected the inspired Name given. I don't care what your excuse is, you are blatantly rejecting Scripture. The Holy Spirit inspired what the men should write. They could have written any name God wanted, what they wrote was 'Iesous, which we transliterate Jesus.

Believe God.

Much love!

Are we to only say His Name in English?

I've told you plainly.

I know all the reasons people give to claim Jesus was named something different. Try to cope with the FACT that the Bible declares Jesus' Name, and Yeshua is NOT it.

Acts 4:10-12 KJV
10) Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11) This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

You are rejecting the One Name given by which men must be saved. You prefer your own version over the Bible.

Much love!

Not really though, many consider Jesus' Name to be Jehosuah. I've heard other forms also. It's all guesswork, meanwhile, we have inspired Scritpure to tell us.

Much love!
Then Joshua

Do you believe that it is wrong to say His name in Hebrew?

You really don't like the Name Jesus, do you?

What abot JESUS?

Do you think HE is upset when we call on HIM by His Hebrew Name?
Have you no greater respect for our Creator God than to just change His Name because you like your version better?

Believe the Bible.

Personally I prefer to call my God by His given Name. I don't believe in changing it from what He told me. You most certainly can call Him anything you want, but that doesn't mean it's OK.
