Hi Dirk Potters
Actually, you have a spelling typo (whoops ! common enough in these threads when people type so fast) i.e. in reading the English equivalents of the Greek for Yehoshua bar Yosef the Galilean Nazir (BCE 12 to CE 36) :
The name of course should be trans-literated as 'IESOUS', just as the name JOSHUA is transliterated from the paleoHeb Vorlage underlay to the LXX into the Greek as 'Iesous.
The name was later Latinised into Iesus, and when the J was invented in English, Jesus. Not that he would have recognised Iesus or 'Iesous anyway...he probably would have responded to the Aramaic shortened form, Yeshu but would have avoided 'gentile' nomenclatures to judge what he thought of those 'outside of the tribe' ! [e.g. "The Son of Man was SENT ONLY to the Elect of the LOST SHEEP of the HOUSE of YISRO'EL..."in Matt chapter 15] &tc.

Do you REALLY believe that YHWH the post exilic clan god of the Judaeans ACTUALLY commanded the SUN and the MOON to stand still so that the benei Yisro'el could 'revenge themselves' (!) on their enemies--i.e. as something that literally happened as in positivistic 'history'? Makes the astrophysicists of the world kind of crazy to think that suns and moons can stop just so some seminomadic tribelets, whose main feat seems to have been getting totally lost in the desert for 40 years, could genocide their political enemies...
Just curious is all...
