   Still no prise John.   
      
   Indeed Jesus is the Greek usage of a personal name which in Hebrew would be   
   Joshua. However "Joshua" is a frequently used personal name. And if one   
   wishes to look deeper into this personal name it denotes "salvation", just   
   as my personal name "Stephen" denotes "crown". Now since we know that there   
   must have been  thousands of individuals in Judea with that "personal name",   
   let alone counting those in the Diaspora. So one must explain (or find if   
   you wish) the family name of this "so called special Joshua". How many   
   Jewish families carry the "anointed with oil and balm" name. Imagine Joshua   
   Anointed with Balm as a proper name? Should not this person you're referring   
   to be called "son of" e.g.. Joshua ben Joseph? Now that would a proper name,   
   except we must still beg the question, how many Smiths are in the phone   
   directory. Your still stuck, or your lexicon is, with Joshua, Oily.
