Why Do We Call Ourselves Christian? by DKNYtruth(m): 10:50pm On Apr 16, 2009
"And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. - Acts 11:26."

[li]It just occured to me again recently the fact that, the disciples were first called Christian by paigans; and now it's an household name for every 'cat and dog' that attends any so-called church, while the real sense of the word "disciples of Christ" is lost in so called xtains' life and the gospel is seen as a means of acquiring wealth not discipling.

Folks, I don't know of you, but sometimes it's hard to call yourself one (Christian) these days, 'cause you'll have kind of raise more sceptism about yourself more that it would have been imagined before that word escaped out of your mouth!

What do you think?[/li]
