I already went over this.
I mean seriously - I ALREADY went over this. The Y was pronounced closer to our J. Accents change, as is expected. It was still pronounced Jesus.

Kinda like Brad Pitt speaking Italian to the SS officer in Inglorious Bastards, but not quite as far off I would imagine.

I think you need to relax a bit. God doesn't care WHAT you call him, only THAT you call him.

By a strange coincidence your name translates to angrycmyrage, correct?
Are you familiar with the term legion? Or rage legion?
Do not be angry with your brother, for he who is angry with his brother will be in danger of hellfire.

AM I figured you were just messing with me again. My apologies.
I assumed that the pronunciation would not change, just the spelling, because it is wtf I would do so I figured they did too.

It is actually Greek and translates to 'Jusu' if you want to Anglicise it. Backing it into Aramaic would have given you 'Joshua' or a rough equivalant.
But whence comes the "s" in Jesus's name? This is of great importance. It is derived from an Egyptian suffix written either SA, SE, SI, SU, or SAF, SEF, SIF or SUF (SAPH, SEPH, SIPH or SUPH) and meaning "the son," "heir," "prince" or successor to the father. (The F is an Egyptian ending for the masculine singular.) When the original symbol of divinity, IO or IE, JO or JE, was combined with the Egyptian suffix for the succeeding heir, SU or SA, the resultant was the name IUSA, IUSE, IUSU, or IOSE; or IESU, JESU, IUSEF, IOSEF, JOSEF. One of the many forms was JESU and another was JOSEF. The final F became sibilant at times and gave us the eventual form of JESUS. The name then meant the "divine son," and combined in the Egyptian IU the idea of the coming one.
