What is Jesus Christ's real name?

Some Christians would call Jesus another name, and this name is Yeshua. The name corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous, from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus. The Hebrew spelling Yeshua (ישוע) appears in some later books of the Hebrew Bible. It's believed that people, who knew Jesus, called him so.

No it's not....I'd much rather people practice it than worry about technicalities.

The letter j didn't exist yet in those times. The term jesus came much much later. Good question.

And he was a dark skinned Jew that spoke Aramaic.

Got it. In 2015 I visited Yeshua's birth place in Bethlehem.

jaijam, Indeed. I can forgive artists of earlier times for portraying him otherwise, but it's totally unacceptable to do it now.

I knew Jesus. He told me his name was pronounced "Hay-Zoos".

Watched a recent scientific documentary that proved Jesus was born in Nazareth, not Bethlehem.

Yeshua in Aramic.

I heard his real name was Emmanuel.

" It's believed that people, who knew Jesus, called him so." REALLY? Can you please send me the plans for the time machine, so that I can build one myself? Yours seems far superior to any other ever known.
