Comment on Why would an all loving god create hell?
funkforager@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoIt’s not like the Bible was translated to English until centuries later when England became a thing. You’re complaining about a letter in an alphabet that wasn’t relevant yet.
Hebrew: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ יֵשׁוּעַ
Greek: Ἰησοῦς
Aramaic: Iēsous
Latin (maybe you’ll like this more?): IESVS
See how we get there?

Did the man ever sign a document, even so much as a clay tablet? So many translations, how would he have written his own name?

Because it wasn’t an uncommon name. It’s exactly the same name as Joshua in it’s original language.
