You are mistaken again...My initial claim was and still is that people were first called Christians in Antioch, Syria...And they were...And I posted ancient maps to prove it...
And you He-Hawed that all over the place...
You then went on to say I was wrong because Antioch is in Turkey...And I've been re-iterating sense that at the time of the Apostles, THAT Antioch (there were two of them) was in Syria...
Now you're trying to change what I have been saying right along from the beginning apparently to save face...
If anyone's been following these posts, they know what's accurate...
They did not prove it.
One of us is, surely.

No, you said that the first Christians were in Antioch. I said that the first Christians were in Jerusalem in the upper room at Pentecost.

Hopefully.
What started it all was your claim that the first Christians 'hung out' in Antioch. Which is untrue. The first Christians hung out in Jerusalem, immediately after Pentecost. Then you started this wobbly exchange, straining to somehow make sense. Antioch eventually developed a large Christian community, and the monicker Christian was first used there, but the fact is that the first Christians hung out in Jerusalem. Most of them in Jersalem never made it to Antioch, since it was several days' journey by sea and most new Christians were dirt poor subsistance farmers or artificers and unable to travel.
