Calling on the Name of Jesus (at baptism)

How do we know that? Because the red sea scrolls evidence point to a culture that still had strong ties to the Hebrew language.

the Bible itself points to this connection, when Pilate wrote the accusation of Jesus on the cross in three languages, Greek, Hebrew and Latin.

Then we have many Hebrew and Aramaic phrases spoken by Yeshua scattered throughout the gospels.

In the book of Acts there was discord because of the Hellenized Jews being treated differently, which resulted in the creation of 7 deacons.

We are not making a name change to sound more Hebraic, we are simply returning to a more authentic Hebrew name, because Jesus was a Hebrew.

All the names that you mention are simply variations to the name Yeshua.
The name Michael, has variations Mike, Mikey, and some more.
The names James has variations Jim, Jimmy and some more.

As you can see from my usage, I have no problems using the more authentic name Yeshua or the poorly transliterated name Jesus, because we are referring to the same person, that is why I have no problem baptizing people using both names.

Ok, red sea scrolls?

Poorly transliterated?

So, was it poorly transliterated in the LXX?
