Christianity Today Usurped the Title from Another Christian Sect!

The Christianity we see to day, is a usurper, who concocted the belief that it, the Roman Catholic Church, was the true titleholder who assumed the title after annihilating the true Chrestians—the Marcionites!

Before the time of Christianity as we know it, the term Chrestians was being used in the second half of the 3rd-century.  Before this time they used terms to denote themselves, such as “the Way,” “the believers,” “the saints” or “God’s people,” et al. Yet, the term Christianity spelt with the “iota,” and not an “eta” was still a long way off in the future.  As the 5th-century Oxyrhynchus papyrus P. Oxy.XLIII 3149 is proof. https://papyri.info/ddbdp/p.oxy;43;3149, as you can clearly see the eta “η” at the start of the fourth line.   Manuscripts as late as the 11th-century, such as the “annals of Florence.” (Not to be confused with the city of Florence, Italy).  Florentius was a monk in Worcester, England, who died c. 1118 CE.  The manuscript still uses the term Chrestians, spelt with the “eta.” With several manuscripts showing church forgeries of the “eta” being changed to an “iota,” with Good being replaced with anoint.  Was this to make Jesus look the part of a genuine Jewish messiah candidate?  Or was it bigotry by the established church, who saw the Marcionite Christians as heretics.  The Marcionite Christians produced the first Bible in 144 CE, some 223 years before the Orthodox/Catholic Church in 367 CE.  Which was a Bible without the Old Testament, and also gave the Marcionites theological provenance over all other Christian sects.  Yes, including Rome!  Marcion, therefore, rejected the entire Old Testament.  He (Marcion) accepted the following Christian writings in this order: Gospel according to Luke, Galatians, I Corinthians, II Corinthians, Romans, I Thessalonians, II Thessalonians, Ephesians (which Marcion called Laodiceans) Colossians, Philemon, and Philippians.  Which were the first Christian canon. The most ancient dated Christian inscription bearing the name Jesus (Oct. 1, 318 A.D.) runs “The Lord and Saviour Jesus the Good”—Chrestos, not Christos. An inscription that is ignored, even its information, is suppressed by the Church as a whole today. https://tv.gab.com/channel/theveryfirstbible/view/the-oldest-inscription-bearing-jesus-name-61846b1edf861af71c6e7066.  An inscription that agrees with 2 Chronicles 30:18! Early Church fathers recorded that they were called “Chrestiani”: Justin Martyr, who lived at Sichem or Shechem in Samaria, in the Second Century, declares that he and his fellow-recusants were called χρηστιανόι, or Chrestiani, and admits in so many words that the appellation was from the term χρηστός – Chrestos. “From the name imputed to us as a crime,” says he, “we are the χρηστοτατόι – Chrestatoi, the very-good.” (Meta. Mag. 14:140 see p. 140). Not only Christian manuscripts were being changed, but authors’ works such as that of Tacitus, and the Chronicles of Florence of Worcester, as stated above. What do you say?
