tduplechain: --- Are you proposing that a regenerate believer in Christ should not be called a Christian? Look up the definition of Christian in a dictionary and tell us how a disciple of Christ is not Christian. Do you believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? If you do, you're a trinitarian, but you want find that word in the Bible. Do you believe that Jesus died on the cross for man's sin? Then you believe in the substitutionary death of Christ, but you won't find the term "substitutionary death" mentioned in the Bible either. ..... It seems you're placing considerable, and exclusive, emphasis on the word "disciple." After all, Karl Marx and Adolph Hitler had their disciples, so to call oneself merely a disciple doesn't say much. A disciple of what or whom? Frankly, the suggestion is an odd and groundless one that disciples of Christ should avoid calling themselves Christians. Surely you can come up with another question or comment that has more substance than this one. It's rather nit-picky, don't you think? Your argument falls into the category of quotidian posts to which this Forum falls prey, posts that are too inane and pointless to merit extended space. --Hank | ||||||
