Maynman:


It was Tertulian that laballed them “chrestian”, and they were previously called “nazarene”. This Tertulian also created the trinity concept

“Followers of the way” dem dey speak English that time too?

Apostle Paul narrative are you sure? Or maybe it’s Catholic Epistle or Pauline epistle narrative.

OkCornel:


Read your screenshot again. The label “Christian” was very much in use before Tertulian jumped on the bandwagon.

OkCornel:


Read your screenshot again. The label “Christian” was very much in use before Tertulian jumped on the bandwagon.

And obviously “followers of the way” would have a different root word in Hebrew…

Maynman:


The famous Antioch reference in the book of acts is to “Chrestian” not “Christian. How can you miss that simple English?

OkCornel:


Check for the meaning of both words. They mean the same thing.

Maynman:


They were called Nazarene. Is this how much lies you have to tel yourself to believe in your deity?

OkCornel:


Again, just like “Christian”, “Nazarene” was a label believers were tagged with.

If you can show me where believers called themselves Nazarenes… I’m more than happy to check it out.


Paul was called a leader of the Nazarene sect
Acts 24 v 5:
5 “We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect


But here, this is Paul clearly stating he’s a follower of the way, he didn’t call himself a “Nazarene”
Act 24 v 14:
14 However, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets

Another reference
Acts 22 v 3-4

Then Paul said: 3 “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I studied under Gamaliel and was thoroughly trained in the law of our ancestors. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.
4 I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison,

Maynman:


Use for pagan worshippers. It’s derogatory term!

Maynman:


Nazarenes have their own history. You can just google it out.
They were never referred to as Christians in the original copy, maybe they were in the VATICANUS.


They are jews right? they can’t use a Greek name to refer to them.

OkCornel:


Smh

Can you show us where believers called each other Nazarenes?

OkCornel:


You’ve missed my point entirely. I’m not bothered with what outsiders labelled believers with. My question is, what did the believers call each other?

Brother, Sister, Followers of the Way, The Elect, Saints.[b]

This is what they called one another and what the Apostles identified them as.

Outsiders called them Christians, Nazarenes bla bla bla

Maynman:


Christos? Nah. It is chrestos/Chrestian.
See the difference.

OkCornel:


Did you see the phrase “I infer” there?

You’re relying on someone else’s inference as your absolute truth. Splendid

Maynman:


These are the Greek Chrestus

Maynman:


The Bible you read is it not a product of canonization? Bwahahahah

OkCornel:


Again, not a big deal. Many people bear Jesus, Many people bear Chrestus or whatever, no one has monopoly over bearing a name…

It’s like claiming your existence is a fraud because someone else who bore your names lived centuries before you. Get it?

Yeshua was a common name in Israel, and different people bore the name before Yeshua Ben Yosef existed. Same explanation applies to “Chrestus”

OkCornel:


And what’s the correlation between inference and canonisation?

Maynman:


They were first referred to as CHRESTIAN by TERTULIAN. Who is Tertulian?

The term is used for pagan worshippers.

Maynman:


It has everything to do with it.
Canonization **

OkCornel:


Wow, such a detailed answer.

Good night

OkCornel:



Good night

Maynman:


I overestimated you, thought you knew what canonization is. When I saw you write it as canonisation**, I don know sey something is up.

“When Jew Jesus was alive he was referred to as Christ” a Greek word, was Latin Jesus born in Greece?


You are yet to answer me what church father and Roman Catholic means, if it was me, you would have been restless repeating it over and over again.

I’m just happy that you are worshipping your god in lies and you know that’s why you finding it hard to be straightforward.

Maynman:


Yeshua is a name, chrestus is a title. You understand yet?

OkCornel:


Lol, so if you’re born a Yoruba man in Yoruba land and a Hausa man writes your autobiography in Hausa language, does it mean you were born in Hausa land?


I’m in awe of your logic

OkCornel:

Who doesn’t know this?

Maynman:


I’m glad you know what canonization is now
