Jeromy,

I learned about the derogatory term in a class titled “The History of Christianity.” There are many manuscripts out there that testify to the history of the Scriptures and background of the time. If you haven’t already, I would suggest reading “The Story of Christianity” Volumes 1 and 2 by Justo L. Gonzalez. Hopefully you will find this useful. Now to answer your question:

The name “Christian” (Greek Χριστιανός) was first applied to the disciples in Antioch, as recorded in Acts 11:26. Some contend that the term “Christian” was first coined as a derogatory term, meaning “little Christs”, and was meant as a mockery, a term of derision for those that followed the teachings of Jesus.

I would just like to say this touched my heart. I had the wonderful experience of growing up in church since birth. I know how wonderful it is to have a church family. Matter of fact one of the first pastors I remember is Bro. Greg Johnston. I will pray as you continue your walk with Christ.

Britt-
This is so right were I am. I want to make a difference in peoples lives and bring people to God not just by my words but by my actions and I want people to see what a difference God has made in my life by the way I live my life. I have several friends right now who are going through some really hard times and I’ve been really sharing my testimony and reaching out to them and talking to them about how awesome God is and how it is through Him that I am able to take on and succeed in all that I do and that if they would surrender their lives to Christ and let him take the wheel that all things are possible and that door will start flying open for them because they will be living their lives for Christ. I pray that not just them but everyone I encounter can see that I am a Christian, not because I say it with my mouth but because I say it with my life. You really hit hard with this one…Thanks!
