Another thing which I think I referred to in the past - and which should
always be kept in mind is that Jesus, his parents, his apostles, and the big
majority of his followers were 100% Hebreans or if you prefer call them Jews
or Judeans. Therefore it's only logical that Christians along the history
should have old testament names.
