He clearly doesn't understand the culture very thoroughly. Similarly in Irish there is a special form of the name Mary - Maire used for the Virgin - "Muire". It is never used for anyone else, and I have never heard anyone say that this somehow denies the Virgin Mary's humanity. This reminds me of a new brainfart I have sen - people writing "G-D" instead of "God". They may have their theological reasons, but it is bad Englsih - in fact it is no part of Englsih culture.

There's a Jesus working on the line in one of our plants. It's kind of funny to talk to a guy in a factory uniform that has "Jesus" on the name tag. I'm tempted to steal one of his shirts, because that would be cool to wear to the bar. Jesus is alive and well, and he’s bagging fertilizer in a factory in Toledo, OH.

By calling Yeshua Jeezus, English speakers effectively destroy his humanity, because in the English language it is taboo to name your child Jesus.
