Christian? From Where It Has Come?

Christian? From Where It Has Come?

Christian: Meaning Cretin

French “a dwarfed and deformed idiot” from Vulgar Latin *christianus “a Christian, a generic term for anyone, but often with a sense of poor fellow.” 

The word Christian means Cretin. “a dwarfed and deformed idiot” Is not related to the word Christ. Christianos means Cretin. Christ means anointed. The term Christ was used way before Messiah came on the scene. For they were many Christs (anointed ones). There was and is only one True Messiah.

There is no use of Christian in the entire New Testament except in three places. But if you go through the Sacred Name Scriptures, you can get a real meaning and why that word was used. It was used by Romans in a derogatory sense.

No where in The Talmidiym (Disciples) letters or any other letter written by The Talmidiym (Disciples) were addressed by Christians but saints and brethren in all those places.

So called Christian preachers used to say that the first church was started with 3000 on the day of Pentecost (Sunday). It is really wrong.

After the impalement of YAHUSHA Messiah, the early assembly rested on Sabbath day only.

—————

And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Shabbath according to the commandment. 

LUQAS (LUKE) 23:56

————

So the people there were Yahudiym (Jews) and Yisralites (Israelites).

They were also called Natsariym Yahudiy (Jews)

[ Yahudiym (Jews) that believed YAHUSHA as their Messiah ]. They were not called Christians. Like that if you can keep on reading the word of YAHUAH in Acts, till the Gentiles were also believed the same gospel (Acts 8:5-17, 10:44-48) and filled with the same RUACH HA’QODESH (SET-APART Spirit)

No one were called as Christians. Mainly there were Two groups.

Natsariym Yahudiym (Jews): Jews that believed YAHUSHA as their Messiah.

Natsriym Gentiles (LOST SHEEP) of Yisrael): Gentiles that believed YAHUSHA as their Mashiach (Messiah).

They both worshiped ELOHIYM as one Assembly only. There is no question of Church to them in 1st century.

———

And when the Yahudiym were gone out of the synagogue, the other nations besought that these words might be preached to them the next Shabbath. 

MA’ASIYM (ACTS) 13:42

And the next Shabbath came almost the whole city together to hear the Word of YAHUAH. 

MA’ASIYM (ACTS) 13:44

26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that for a full year they assembled themselves with the congregation of Yisrael and taught many people. And the talmidim were called Notsrim (Natsariym) first in Antioch. [5381]

Footnote:

[5381] This term is “Christian” as it appears in both the Aramaic and Greek versions. This was a derogatory term, as those at Antioch made fun of the “little moshiachs.” 

The fact that the Greek preserves this term through transliteration from the Aramaic and not translation, is further evidence that this was a title assigned “by men to men,” and never by YAHUAH.

For when YAHUAH speaks such as in Galatians 6:16, or through the use of eidta/ekklessia, all believers in Messiah are called and known as Yisrael.

If one is called a “Christian,” it is man’s terminology. 

If one is called Yisrael, he has adopted YAH’s terminology and viewpoint.
