All These AI Asterisks Are A Pathetic Joke. Fix This Sh it. WTF

I would expect someone like yourself to know that the name Jesus is a Greek translation (the original gospels were written in Greek) of the Lord’s Hebrew name — Yeshua.

It's widely known that Iesous was the Greek translation (not Jesus). And that was the first case of a drastic name change of the character. What's not widely known though is that Iesous was then changed to Jesus after the letter J had been invented only 400 years ago. King James then spread this new name for the mythical character in his new Anglicized version of the bible. So today we have people referring to "Jesus", while not realizing that the name was only invented a few hundred years ago.

Quick hypothetical: if we imagine there was a real Yeshua who existed thousands of years ago, and someone today was able to travel back to his time, he wouldn't even respond to the name Jesus. He'd have no idea who Jesus is. It's a little too far removed from the original name of the character.

You’re reading too much into it, and unnecessarily confusing the matter. The name Jesus is synonymous with Yeshua. It’s like anglicizing a name like Jose into Joseph, or Pietro into Peter. The writers of the gospels were writing in Greek, therefore they changed the Lord’s name to fit the language they were communicating in. The scribes translating from Greek to English made similar adjustments to suit their readers. None of it is here nor there to me. As I said earlier, I once subscribed to your general way of thinking; but even then, I would’ve drawn the same observations I just made. I’d really rather just drop the discussion here. No point.

Yep people made adjustments to suit their readers. Just like they made adjustments from the earlier Krishna stories to suit their readers, which is essentially how Christianity materialized. It reminds me sometimes of when older movies get Hollywood remakes. Or foreign movies get an English language remake where the story might be largely different on the surface, but the core themes remain very similar. It's just surprising sometimes that people cling on to these myths even in today's modern world. Religions were invented so easily and so often by humans that we've amassed thousands of gods by now. "Cargo Cults" is another fascinating insight into how easily religions come about. Alright bro, i can respect if you prefer to leave the discussion, fair enough.

Admin robots are taking over let's face it.

Yes but they are referencing a txt file of words that a person must have put together, its ridiculous what they censor in here.
