Jeez. Jesus. Any other form of the name. Jesus is the anglicised form of the latin for this name, which is in turn a take off of the greek form of the name given to this fellow (some take it one step further back to hebrew). For the record, this name is never found once in the entire xtian bible! “
It’s so ironic, but I personally hold that his name SHOULD be said, otherwise we are chalilah giving it the equivalent chashivus that we do to Hashem’s Name which we do NOT mention except in making a bracha, davening or laining. So bedavka, if I were talking about the man (i.e., not using the name as a mild expletive)I WOULD philosophically say jesus.
BUT – out of respect for the people who post here, who always refer to yeshu as …well.. yeshu or oso ish, I didn’t want to offend anyone by writing “jesus” in my post. HOWEVER, the expression gee or geez should not be used by us, as it is the same as saying “oh,jesus!” as an exclamation for our own conversation. Clearly that would be very inappropriate for any yid, much less a frum one.
