no no, God is doing this BECAUSE we’re polluting the earth. if you stop and reverse the pollution then he won’t be mad anymore…
You think that would work to get them to stop?
Jesus never drove a car. Or even rode a bicycle for that matter.
Also, the letter J wasn’t invented until the year 1524 AD.
Should it more accurately be Yesus?
IIRC in Latin the letter “I” as in India, was used for “J” sounds. So it would be Iesus.
Somewhere between that, or possibly Yeshua.
I dunno for sure, but if people really believe in the man, shouldn’t they refer to him by his proper Hebrew name?
It’s not like historical figures are always referred to by their proper names. How many English speakers talk about Cristóbal Colón or pronounce Julius Caesar as [ˈkae̯.sar].
‘I’ used to be used as both a vowel and a consonant, similar to how we use C for both the ‘s’ sound and the ‘k’ sound. So probably it would have been Iesus with an I. Probably sounded out the same as the guy who did my drywall.
It’s pronounced Geez not Jeez
In English yes, but not in closer languages like Aramaic, Hebrew (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshua)) or Greek (ἰησοῦς (ioesous)).
