There is a fringe group of Christians that belive referring to Jesus as Jesus and not Yashua is wrongful and in some cases sinful. Kinda similar to how JWs refer to God almost exclusively as Jehova.
They would say that Jesus' name in Hebrew is spelled using the same root "Yah" as Yahweh God, but it isn't. Nowhere in ancient Hebrew do we see that use, but that won't stop them from calling him that and using that as an argument for the trinity since they have the "same name". While yes, Jesus is Yahweh 100%, that's not a good argument and it serves to discredit the person arguing for that name.

“A DEFINITIVE LOOK AT ONENESS THEOLOGY IN THE LIGHT OF BIBLICAL TRINITARIANISM" BY DR. EDWARD DALCOUR
https://www.christbiblechurch.org/uploads/4/8/6/5/48652749/oneness_bk._4th_6x9_format.pdf
A Definitive Look at Oneness Theology: In the Light of Biblical Trinitarianism (4th ed.) critically examines the claims of Oneness unitarian theology in light of biblical exegesis. Specifically, this book clearly shows that the entire content of biblical revelation reveals that the one true God is triune existing in three distinct persons-the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Further, the triune nature of God has been implicitly and explicitly affirmed by the early church, important Ecumenical Councils (and their resulting Creeds), and contemporary conservative biblical scholarship. Oneness theology rejects the biblical doctrine of the Trinity erroneously assuming a unitarian view of God-namely, a one person deity whose name is "Jesus." Hence, it teaches that Jesus is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Oneness advocates then see the titles "Father," Son," and "Holy Spirit" as mere names or roles that Jesus manifests and not as distinct persons. They embrace the notion that "Son" represents the humanity of Jesus while "Father" (and Holy Spirit) represents the deity of Jesus, thus denying the unipersonality, deity, and preexistence of the Son, Jesus Christ. This view sharply opposes the biblical position that the Son had/shared glory "with" the Father "before the world was" (John 17:5). Since, the biblical presentation of the preexistence of the Son (esp. as Creator) is the Achilles' heel of Oneness doctrine, this book devotes the needed space and attention to the exegesis of key passages (such as Gen. 19:24; John 1:1-18; 17:5; Col. 1:16-17; Phil. 2:6-11; and the prologue of Hebrews), which positively affirms biblical Trinitarianism. On this point alone, the Oneness position is shown biblically false.

I'm done pretending that 90s liberals, Irish catholics, females, gay/trans "people", Jews, or blacks can be conservative influencers, spokesmen, thought leaders, etc.

Why are political conservatives so obsessed with having females, blacks, gays, trannies, etc., make their political arguments for them?

There is a reason why sodomites, trannies, and adjacents so frequently disfigure and uglify themselves in progressive stages from clothing, hair cuts/colors, tattoos, piercings, and genital mutilation.
Those in high rebellion against God hate His image so much they disfigure and cover it wherever they can. They would do the same and worse to the divine image in others. This is the same reason ritual disfigurement is a common practice in almost every pagan religion.
We may rightly say as a general principle (though not perhaps as an infallible axiom) that the outside appearance tends to mirror the inside character. Only with great effort can this natural effect be reversed.

"You came of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve," said Aslan, "and that is both honor enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on Earth."

The song "Rich Men North of Richmond" rightly observes many of the struggles of the remnant white Christian American population-- namely the increasing economic impossibility of middle class life plus leftist government control.
However, it fails to properly identify the causes-- mass third world immigration and entitlement spending on the first point, and the right's lack of elite representation on the second. The leftists who gained control of America didn't just magically acquire it; rather, decades of discipline and painstaking coordination was the sacrifice required. This is a sacrifice few on the right are willing to make because we just want to be left alone (or, as the song puts it, sit here and drown our troubles away).

Those who view the countryside as inherently superior to cities should recall that it is not good for man to be alone. God designed us to live in clans and tribes, and God blesses and establishes cities throughout Scripture. Recall that the very word "pagan" is the Latin word for "rural," since the countryside is where the old practices remained after the Christianization of Rome.
Cities are not better than the country or vice versa, just as summer is neither superior nor inferior to winter. We should aim to take them both since they all belong to Christ.

Unpopular opinion: the average medieval peasant had a more sensible, wise, and godly worldview than the average evangelical churchgoer today.

For all the talk about MacArthur and co not being "truly Reformed" - which, for the record, I agree with - it must be said he's done far more to promote Reformed theology than 99% of its adherents.
