2 Quotes About Christ Origin

The word “Christian” comes from the Greek word Christos, which means “anointed one.” The name “Christians” was coined by the Romans. The term “Christian” has been used since about A.D. 170, at the Council of Jerusalem, in opposition to the Jews who refused to accept Jesus as the Messiah. While some scholars say that Jesus never even referred to himself as a Christian, most agree that he did refer to himself as a disciple of the Jewish faith.
