First his name is not Jesus. There is no “J” in the Hebrew alphabet he was Hebrew. Secondly, the term “Christian” was biblically first used at Antioch according to the Bible. But it was used in a negative, nasty, condescending and derogatory manner by unbelievers. Christ (the Kristos in Greek which means the Anointed One) never called anybody a Christian. He also did not call himself one.

The Messiah called us believers, children of God etc, but he never called us Christians. So it makes no sense to take a negative thrown at us by unbelievers and adopt it as if Christ said it. Let’s be accurate. And even though we neither speak Greek nor Hebrew, if we are going to call on the name above every name, we should at least have that name correct. STOP BELIEVING WITHOUT RESEARCHING. And for anyone who disagrees, check the facts.

All that being said, yes I am a research scholar and I agree with your efforts and prayers.
