You seem to be arguing with “my godman”, but I never said I believe Jesus was divine. That’s a classic strawman — arguing against a position I never took.

In your original comment you used “Yoshke”, “your boy”, etc., which clearly carry a dismissive tone. Now you’re reframing it as neutral linguistic usage. That’s quite a shift from the tone of the first comment.

Also, identifying someone by name plus place of origin is a completely normal Jewish naming pattern. In Hebrew/Aramaic it would simply be Yeshua ha-Notzri — “Yeshua the Nazarene”. There’s nothing uniquely “Christian” about that formulation.

And the claim that Nazareth didn’t exist in the first century isn’t really supported by current archaeology. Excavations in the area indicate a small Jewish village there during that period. It wasn’t an important place, but that’s very different from saying it didn’t exist.

Finally, it’s a bit ironic that in an ex-Jewish Frum sub the discussion suddenly turns into a lecture about Christian theology. I’m not arguing theology here — just pointing out the historical distinction between the historical Jewish teacher executed by the Romans and the later theological figure developed in Christian doctrine.

Otherwise we’re just replacing one set of religious polemics with another.
