The Hebrews believed they were worshiping YHWH in the incident with the golden calf, or at least that's what they said. They weren't stupid. They didn't believe the calf was actually YHWH. Rather, they probably made it as an intermediary, more a replacement for Moses than for YHWH himself. People are always trying to put more intermediaries between us and God. Bibles, saints, relics, clerics, politicians, etc. These can all be golden calves.
#exodus 32:4-5

Rhy Bezuidenhout to answer your "hail zeus" qustion: "soos" actually means "horse" in hebrew. So if we are understanding hebrew and aramaic as the original languages, "hey soos" is a letter of the alphabet, followed by "horse": jibberish. Latin pronounces "j" lightly compared to english. "Sus" comes from the latin need to make a word masculine since Yeshua is male. Transliterating names rarely brings any meaning with it. Yeshua means "salvation." J-sus means "h horse", kinda like saying h is for horse in preschool! Greek "Iesus" is gibberish. Its just the closest greek could come to Yeshua without breaking its own rules.

Yes, so neither transliteration nor etymology shows that the name Jesus actually says: “Hail Zeus”. I am therefore still waiting for Cody to show where he came across this understanding.

That seems like a lot of leaps to get it to mean that. English transliterates words as well and we don't break them down to mean something else (unless your praying before a national audience). Like "amen". We know it is Hebrew and it is not saying "a group of males". To take what the Greek translated to and then to translate that back to Hebrew also seems counterintuitive. There are many people out there that have taken song lyrics and other things and run them through translators, going back and forth through different languages. You never get the same meaning as the original when you go back to the original language. As you point out, the Greek translators tried to keep Greek's language rules intact when transliterating names, for whatever reason. That is why Iesous for Yeshua and Moses for Moshe, and others in Scripture as well. It isn't jibberish, it is how whomever decided to transliterate. In the modern day of all this knowledge of languages and translators and everything, in English we still force "j" for the Hebrew "י" when transliterating. If you ever see a news report about the (former? I don't keep up) Prime Minister of Israel, בנימין (Benyamin), it is always transliterated/pronounced: Benjamin, with a hard "j" sound.

Faith is a description of something you believe, trust is the action you take based on your belief. James 2:14 describes it this way, “What use is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but he has no works [takes no action]? Can that faith save him?” In the next verse he writes that even the demons believe or have faith and they are terrified. When we claim to believe or have faith but either don’t act on that faith or worse we continue to sin , we are no more than the demons and we deserve to be afraid.

This is why I personally believe that Gentiles should follow more than just Acts 15:20

"Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. "

As verses 21 says:

"For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”

Moses/Torah was read to them every Sabbath, so they can learn to follow it.

So, the minimum requirements are "You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. " but then learn Torah...
