I don't understand.

 

[SayaOtonashi]

What when was the earliest use of the word Christians

 

[Resha Caner]

According to Acts 11:26, the word "Christian" was first used in the city of Antioch while Paul and Barnabas were visiting there. This was probably between AD40 and AD45.

Why do you ask?

 

[SayaOtonashi]

Well, I have just wanted to find out after reading and listening to this.

Should we call ourselves a Christian?

 

[Resha Caner]

People say a lot of stupid things.

The video is not only full of obvious errors, but it labors the hardest to disprove its own misunderstanding of Acts 11:26!

The verse does not tell us that the Christians were FOUNDED at Antioch at that time, or that they first adopted a new religion there and then, but that they were first "CALLED" (by someone else) by that title at that time and place.
