What’s the earliest dated church inscription naming Jesus? A 318 AD Marcionite one from Syria: ‘Lord and Savior Jesus the Good’ (Ιησου Χρηστου). Not ‘Christ’ but ‘Chrestos’—‘the Good’—fitting for the benevolent Father.

Follower of Jesus (Iēsous), seeking the true Father, loving Scripture, truth, and freedom, unafraid of the heretic label, exposing the adversary.
Them: You don't know anything!
Me: I read scholarly books, and study the text.
Them: You read too much!

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God [Theos], to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Apostolicon, cf. Romans 8:28)
Trust that in the Father's purpose, all circumstances align for the ultimate good of those who love Him and are called by Him.
