Who Is A Christian? by Raymond4kc: 9:22pm On Aug 09, 2008
The word CHRISTIAN was first used by the people of Antioch.This they called the Apostles of old Christians oweing to the fact that they were behaving like Christ. But today, people call themself christians just because he or she goes to church every sundays or because the person take part in Religious activity or the other. To this end, I look forward to hearing you say something on this case study : WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?

Can a thief, a cultist , a smooker, a LovePeddler ,EVEN YOU, be called a christian?

These are interesting many people say they are Christians, but does this profession measure up against what the Bible says a Christian is? Is there any “Realy Christian here in Nairaland” kindly express yourself if anyone qualify to this condition.

If you say you are a Christian, what is the basis for saying this?
Your answer might be something like one of the following statements.

Most commonly claim by individual.

I live in a Christian country?

I have always been a Christian?

my parents were Christians?

I have always been to church?

I don't do anything to hurt other people?

I am a moral and upright citizen?

I do a lot of work for Charities?
Do these categories claim you’re a real Christian or what? But, what other people if they engage other activities opposite to that, do they also call a Christian?

How did the people of Antioch know how Christ behaved? Did Jesus ever go to Antioch? Or did people of Antioch frequent Judaea at the time Jesus was about?

very true we have about 30,000 sects most of them postulating that they only know and hold the ultimate truth, (i wonder what truth they are talking about sef). a christian is simply some one who says he is a christain, because all the sects(various religions) in christainity all get there inspirations from the bible and yet they all can't come out with a universally acceptable doctrine and belief. always fighting, castigating and destroying each other and still calling them selves christains. there is no and can never be a universally acceptable defination for the word.
