Evidence please.

The clue is in the name.


What, a ridiculously common name for an average First Century Jewish guy? Wow - some "clue", I feel like I'm reading a fucking Dan Brown novel.


A real smoothy that one isn't it?


Pardon? If they wanted to make up a Messiah's name, surely "Emmanuel" would have worked best (see Matthew 1:23 and Isaiah 7:14). So why something as common and totally irrelevant as "Jesus"? Please explain?
