The first known usage of the term Χριστιανός (christianos) can be found in the New Testament in Acts 11:26: "the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch." They were disciples and followers of Jesus Christ. The other two New Testament uses of the word also refer to the public identity of those who follow Jesus. The Jewish king said the Apostle Paul had almost persuaded the king "to become a Christian" (Acts 26:28). Writing in 1 Peter 4:16, The Message paraphrase, the Apostle Peter encouraged believers who are abused "because you're a Christian, don't give it a second thought. Be proud of the distinguished status reflected in that name!"

The earliest recorded use of the term outside the Bible was when Tacitus recorded that Nero blamed the "Christians" for the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64.

"Christian" also means a member or adherent of a church or other organized group within Christianity. As an adjective, the term may describe anything associated with or thought to be consistent with Christianity, as in "the Christian thing to do."

How should a Christian view other religions ?
Q. I have seen many books in Christian bookstores condemning other religions as cults/demonic. How should Christians view temples, mosques etc - as being inhabited by Satan and devils that draws people away from their only true god (Jesus) ? Or should Christians view other religions as equally helpful to people with different faiths ?

A. A: Love them and be salt and light to them as the Spirit of God gives ability and words. While Christians cannot endorse or recommend any religious community or institution that does not recognize Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior... as far as we may the Bible also teaches us to live peaceably with all men. Romans 12:18 - If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Whenever I have nagging questions like these I goto FIJC Ministries website and online chat. They always seem to have scripturally sound advice and answers and they have awesome audio sermons on their website! Chatroom: Website:

What are some good Christian support groups or books that deal with the betrayal of a spouse?
Q. I am a Christian 24 year old woman, and I've been married for almost 3 years. Recently my husband confessed he's been living a double life... committing adultery amongst many other sins. He left me and now I'm in need of any information you can give me on Christian support groups, good Christian books, etc. to help me during this difficult time. I go to church, pray and read my Bible. I'm just searching for other things to help supplement. Thank you, and God bless.

A. Stick with that church, they can be a great support. Also, try ot get in a small group there if they have one, and find people you can trust to lean on and be spiritually accountable with. They will no doubt know a lot of resources.

How to make the whole world christian and thus save them from themselves?
Q. The US has an obligation, as a christian nation to convert and preach the true word of god to save their souls. What country is next on the GOP agenda for crusading? I think we should go after one of those countries that legalized "homesexual" marriage.

A. The sad thing is, some Neocons are probably reading your question, not realizing that you're being sarcastic and saying "Hell Yeah! That's the way we do it in America!"
