The word "cross" is not biblical. Christ was hung on a stake. A cross is also a Pagan symbol.
The name "Jesus" is a recent invention. Their is no one in heaven by that name. The Messiah's name is Yahshua. God's name is Yahwah. The e vowel was introduced into Hebrew in the 2nd century AD.
The Hebrew word "sheol" always means "grave." It never means "Hell." Hell is a Pagan concept introduced into Christianity by the Catholics.
Hell is the serpent doctrine of life immortal in a place of eternal torture.
Genesis 3:4
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.
Where is the place where there weeping and gnashing of teeth, Matthew 8:12.
There is no solid proof that the NT was written in Hebrew. Some people claim it was written in Greek as was the Septuagint.
Jesus is an English word transliterated from the Greek iesous.
I use an English version of the NT which uses the name Jesus. It works for me.
This was taken from the parable about the strait gate and the broad way.
"Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there be which go that way. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it" Matthew 7:13,14.
What is the broad way that leads to destruction and the strait gate that leads to life?
The broad way is the way of religion. The way must be broad to accommodate the multitudes that have chosen to go that way. Religion is the way of man. It is man centered. Religion is man's effort to please a holy God by what he has done or by what he has become. "Many will say to me on that day (judgment day) Lord, Lord, didn't we..., Matthew 7:22. Lord, Lord, didn't I become a Calvinist? Lord, Lord, didn't I join the Catholic church? They thought that salvation was all about them and what they did or what they had become.
The strait gate is Jesus Christ and his Gospel. Few there be that find it, because few there be that seek it. Truth must be sought. It is only given to those that seek it and receive it. When the Gospel is heard and believed, God gives his Holy Spirit to those that hear and believe it, Galatians 3:2. The Holy Spirit is also known as the "Spirit of Truth" John 14:17. It is the work of the Spirit to magnify and glorify the work of Christ, John 16:13-15.
Jesus answers to that name, but if one prefers Yashua then English speaking people do not know who is being spoken of.
The weeping and gnashing of teeth will be at the end of the Judgement on earth.Where is the place where there weeping and gnashing of teeth, Matthew 8:12.

The common name is Jesus. When you use any other name, people will not understand what you are talking about.
You are asking me to believe that you and others do not know the different names Christ is called.
