rayww,
Thank you for your interest in this discussion. In order to answer some of your questions, I would like to share some things that may help in our understanding in this discussion.
First, the Rider is not the world's jesus. But one needs to understand about that name and who people are referring to when they referr to jesus.
The bible has been translated from the Hebrew and the Greek languages into the Latin and English translations that use the word,[jesus].
Originally, [jesus] grew up in a Jewish community in a Jewish family. His name in Hebrew was [Yahushua]. In Hebrew, there are two words here. Yahu and shua. Yahu, in Hebrew, means [God] and shua in Hebrew means [saves]. So Yahushua means, in Hebrew, God-Saves. So in the Christiandom bible,that originally was written inthe ebrew language, in the description of the birth of jesus, the angel came to Mary and Joseph and said at the birth that you will call his name [Yahushua], as it is witten in the Hebrew. Which has been interrpreted as, [God saves us,] or [God is with us], or [Salvation is with us], or just [salvation]. Then Yahushua was shortened in the Hebrew to Y'shua. Then the ['] was replaced by [e] and became [Yeshua]
Then this name had to be trtansliterated into the Greek language .
