You have problem with interpretation.

Read the bolded again and you ll realised you are not making sense.


...the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord. Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch. When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord. For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.
"Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch."
Acts 11:21-26


Son of the devil.....Paul is not Christ. There is only one Christ and that's Jesus.

Mk 8:29
And He was questioning them, "But whom do you pronounce Me to be?" Peter answering, says to Him, "You are the Christ."
I am a disciple of Jesus and not a Christian. Jesus said that many false Christs will arise Matt 24:24. Jesus is the Christ of God. I repeat Paul never followed Jesus neither are Christians following Jesus

They were called Christians after Paul taught(discipled) them for a year. Why were they not called Christians before the arrival of Paul? In Antioch, they saw Paul as a Christ(an anointed one) that was why they called his followers Christians.
Jesus is a Christ,the Christ of God. There are many other Christs in which Paul is one. So Jesus is not the only Christ, even Jesus said it. Matt 24:24
Shut up, Peter was the leader and Paul was the last to arrive. He was brought in by Barnabas.

Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

They taught not Paul taught

The likes of James, John , Barnabas were there teaching others about Christ.

Olodo, a Christian is a follower of Christ and his teachings. Don't be talking nonsense here.

Why are you atheists always insulting me . Can't you just accept that someone is way smarter than you are . Now tell me , what's the difference between what I said and yours ?

If the meaning of 'subservient' is beyond your ken just tell me , it means obedience without questioning .

A disciple is a responsible son, he bear the cross of his father, he's also a christian.
A christian per say is a baby who carries out no responsibility in his father's house. He is always at the recieving end. Eg 'sunday medicine', bench-warmers, etc. they hate being in departments in church and also hate God's work. They just want to come n recieve n go.

You get insulted cos you seriously deserve it. You are way smarter than I am yet don't know that Christianity is about jesus Christ and that disciples did worship him, nor do you know that even if I didn't know the meaning of a word used, I could easily look it up, so much for smartness, mugu.

You obviously googled that . Anyway I clearly said that I was not sure in my first post so I'm not sure why my anodyne contribution is being perceived as an offensive one .

A disciple is usually subservient and adheres to the teachings of his master but does not worship his master . A Christian is subservient to God's commands , adheres to God's teachings and worships Him . So the difference is worship I think .

I just hate your hypocrisy, your own too much abeg.

Of course I don't expect you to admit you do know and the day I become insecure about something as inconsequential as someone on the net, suggesting I have no class, is the day I kill myself, self confidence is one of my selling points sweery.

And what has googling or not got to do with anything? Bottom line is, jesus was worshipped by his disciples, you say I Googled it like you didn't have to learn the things you know through some means, you see why you are stup1d? Smh

Btw, you assumed I was offended, whereas all I did was correct you but who cares? Mu che che che grin

Woe unto you and other false teachers

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive opinions. They will even deny the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Even so, many will follow their licentious ways, and because of these teachers the way of truth will be maligned. 3 And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation, pronounced against them long ago, has not been idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
