Question for Christians Only - Where's Emmanuel?

Nobody calls him Immanuel.

Nowhere in the Bible does it indicate Jesus was ever called Immanuel or God with us. And you don't call Jesus that either. You might as well give up on that argument. It doesn't fly.

(Please note that in the scripture the word "him" is not spelled with a capital letter.)

My name happens to be "James" meaning "the supplanter." My mother wanted to call me James for that very reason. So she named me James. James is on my birth certificate. She didn't name me George and then argue that I was really James because I was "the supplanter."

You asked for an explaination, I gave it to you, if you want to disagree with me, just to try to disprove christianity wrong in some dodgy way that no expert would accept (theist or atheist) then go ahead.

Seriously there are much better reasons not to believe in God than this.

The name Immanuel was obviously used because of the meaning. If you know anything about language you will know how I explained it is a possible explaination.

(I give a capital letter to words reffering to God)

not one of those child abusing/ abuser covering christians but there is also the fact that the name should be Joshua in the hebrew Jesus in the Greek

So how do they explain that?

A

Actually Jesus' hebrew name was Yeshua meaning 'he will save' (makes sense considering what Jesus did) which is a shortened version of Yehoshua which means 'the Lord saves' which is translated to Joshua. There is no english translation of Yeshua. Jesus is simply a translation and transliteration through greek and latin.
