Jesus is not a translation directly into english and why not have The Book of Jesus instead of Joshua in The Old Testament? Because it was something they wanted to make it seem to be a different name. I never said I would use Joshua, I said why don't they use its a direct translation.Why are you comfortable with the name "Joshua"?
Joshua is also NOT the name of either the military leader of Israel or the Messiah. Their names were "יְהוֹשׁוּעַ". Joshua is a very poor transliteration into English - and Jesus is also a very poor transliteration into English. Neither sounds like the original Hebrew pronunciation.
I personally don't think that matters, an omniscient God knows what we mean when we speak in any language. But if you're going to be pedantic about it, you seem to be being very inconsistent - you seem to only object to the name Jesus, while being completely happy with every other bad transliteration.
What is it specifically about the name Jesus that you find repulsive?
Or is it not the name, but the person whom you have a problem with?
Even though he believes it okay to use Jesus he tells us its lost it meaning and he does not feel is some magical word yet The Bible has "9 Wherefore G-d also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of G-d the Father."
We must return to Our Heavenly Father and Learn His Ways and not ours and if this is True then only One Name Has Power and saying it does not have Power means this is a lie. I believe all of The Churches expect a small few are and have been fallen and unless we wake up and Return to how Our Father wants us we are all Lost! Expect a few.

Philippians 2:9-11
KJV9 Wherefore G-d also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of G-d the Father.
They believe that Yahshua is the son of YHWH, and that his life, death, burial, and resurrection provide salvation. They believe that after persons repent of their sins, they should be baptized in the name of Yahshua.
