English-speaking devotees in the Hebrew Roots movement eschew the name of Jesus. They replace the name of Jesus with Yahoosha, Yehoshua, Yahshua, Yeshu, and many other variations. One variant for Jesus’ name used by many Hebrew Roots movement adherents is Yeshua. They have been taught that, as a Jew, Jesus’ actual name in Hebrew should be Yeshua. Jews indeed render Jesus’ name in Hebrew as Yeshua. Although Jews often drop the “a” and call him Yeshu, which is an epithet against him.
A little known fact is that one of the names used for Jesus by the Hebrew roots movement, Yeshu, is used by Jews as a curse against Jesus. Tuvia Pollack, writing for Kehila Times, reveals that “the name Yeshu can be seen as an abbreviation of ‘Yimach Shmo Uzichro,’ may his name and memory be blotted out.” Jesus is regularly cursed in the Jewish Talmud by the name of Yeshu. Indeed, there is an ancient Jewish text that is called the Sefer Toledot Yeshu. The Sefer Toledot Yeshu alleges that Jesus was an illegitimate child, whose miracles were by means of sorcery, who taught a heretical form of Judaism, seduced women, and died a shameful death.
The Talmud, which calls Jesus Yeshu, as an epithet, is the authoritative religious book in Judaism. The Talmud memorializes the traditions of the Jews. Jesus upbraided the Jews for replacing his laws with their man-made traditions.

The practice of English speakers to call Jesus Yeshua is part of a sinister scheme. It is a devilish stratagem by Judaizers to corrupt the gospel of grace.
The religion of the Jews is a mixture that, on the surface, appears godly but is, in fact, a wholly leavened loaf of heathenism.

What more proof does one need to understand that Yeshua of the Hebrew Roots movement is NOT the Jesus of the Bible? Changing Jesus’ name to Yeshua is a change in who Jesus is. Yeshua of the Hebrew Roots movement is a devilish Pharisee. Jesus Christ states his unequivocal opinion about the Pharisees that they are vipers and children of hell.
