P.S. I forgot to mention I am a supervisor at the feed mill plant. Thats real important, just like being a "Christian" sep being a "Christian" might RAISE my pay scale. My goodness, I might be on to something..... From now on danget, please address me as "Christian"
Love In Christ
Christian (also known as Longhorn)

Okay guys and gals,
So where did this term come from? Was it originally in the bible or did they add it? I have no problem with the term now. I just did not know how to accept it. Thanks guys for helping me to open up to that label.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire

I could be mistaken, but, when I was a christian I read somewhere that it was first used as a derogatory term for followers of christ. When I was a charismatic, speaking in tongues, hell fire, and so on, we used to be called 'Ho Ho's', 'cryers' (sp? people who cry alot'). I believe that the word 'christian' was used in that sense. I could be wrong though. Here is a term that I'm having a hard time getting out of 'You are of your father the devil'.

I don't have a problem with the word "Christian." It simply means "follower of Christ." ... Although it can cause people to think we believe in hell and the rest of the heresies of the church.
If I tell someone I'm a "believer," they'll ultimately ask, "A believer in what?"
Good way to start a conversation! :)
