That explanation would've been a lot more convincing if it was included before I called them out for using the Christian name.
"They used the Christian name because otherwise nobody would've understood" sounds a lot like a desperate attempt to cover for having a Christian show them up about knowing the basic terminology of Judaism while they complain about Christians "appropriating their culture".
A culture which by the way, Christians have just as much claim to. And Muslims as well. Turns out that all of the Abrahamic religions actually have a legitimate claim to these scriptures.
Whataboutism won't save you.
Which is why that potential whataboutism was only one sentence tacked onto the end of my comment, while the rest of my comment was a direct rebuttal.
Only focusing on the easiest points to argue against won't save you.
