Codex Sinaiticus Proves the Name Jesus Wasn't Corrupted Like People Claim

Everyone accepts that "James" is a translation. So why does the same rule become a controversy the moment it's applied to "Jesus"? I open the actual manuscript that proves it.
In this video, I examine the pages of Codex Sinaiticus, looking at James 1:1 — the only verse in the entire letter where James names himself, sitting two words away from the name Jesus — alongside a photo scan of Codex Sinaiticus and a 1582 Douay-Rheims New Testament, and trace exactly how Hebrew names moved through Greek, Latin, and English.
I've spent more than twenty years studying Greek New Testament manuscripts firsthand, and this video walks through primary sources directly rather than secondhand claims circulating online.
What you'll see:
→ James 1:1 in the original Greek, examined line by line
→ Codex Sinaiticus, a 4th-century manuscript and one of only two essentially complete Greek Bibles surviving from antiquity
→ A 1582 Douay-Rheims New Testament, showing "James" and "Jesus" already fixed in English nearly thirty years before the King James Version
→ Why the "stolen name" claim collapses once applied consistently across James, Jude, and Lazarus
