Someone asked me what I think a christian is, I couldn't post my reply, when I tried it again the question disappeared, so I'm here to add it myself.
@loridennis2989 That's a serious, if not historic question. Let's go back to the original word. When the Roman Empire wanted a new word to describe Romans who became followers of Jesus of Nazareth, they came up with christian. That was taking the Greek word christos and making it Latin with the ian. Those were the only people the Romans threw into the arena with wild animals without giving them weapons. In the time of Jesus of Nazareth, people who imitated Him were called Nazrites and Nazrenes. Using the word christian is too catholic, or American evangelist, for me. When the Roman Empire decided to become the Holy Roman Empire, they wanted a new symbol. The took the Greek symbol for infinity, what looks like a stretched-out number eight, and chopped one end off, saying it looked like the fish symbol Jewish people used. It was also easy to paint on buildings, uniforms and weapons, just one long swipe with a brush. Scottish people call that holy mackerel, profanity for me. Who is a christian? The pope doesn't know the difference between the universe and eternity. Thanks for asking.
