Aye, but do you honeslty think the quakers in the 1600's wanted to actually attempt to say something correctly?

Jesus...yes, that sounds like a good name.

Honestly though, I can't read Arabic and Saying Jesus is probably easier than whatever it was in Arabic....and spelled a lot simpler.
Not really. The Arabic word for Yeshua/Jesus is Isa'.

A question for when you return, and one that I really am quite curious about.

Why or how did we come up with the name "Jesus" then? I would have no more problem worshipping a man named Isa' than Jesus....

But the orthodox Jews, and Jews other than the J4J, don't believe the saviour has come yet, so who is this Yeshua they would speak of? Is it Yeshua that hasn't come yet? If so using his name for Jesus would be paramount to blasphemy for a Jew, and totally disrespectful of their religion.

Their prophecies of the saviour weren't ever fulfilled, only one possible even came close and it wasn't Jesus.

One reason being their scripture talks of the coming of the saviour and his followers being filled with his teachings and love of their fellow man, that every where they went there was peace in the land.. Yeah, Christians are all that!! Needless to say, that hasn't happened yet, so Christ can't be the true saviour. Not according to Jewish Prophecy.
