Scripture Post #1,031: *FIRST CALLED "CHRISTIANS"*

Acts 11:26:

"And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."

The Disciples of the LORD, JESUS CHRIST were called "Christians" because they taught and preached CHRIST. So to be called "Christian" was an easy fit. 

If the Disciples were *doing* what many so called "Christians" *do* nowadays, the Disciples never would've been called "Christians" to begin with. It puzzles me how many homosexuals claim to be Christians. But if Peter, Paul & Barnabas were homosexuals, "Christian" wouldn't've been uttered out of anyone's mouth. We are living in a time now where people don't want to offend others or sound anti-social or anti-American. Many are so afraid to be outcasted or to say or do things that go against the grain. We become so afraid of upsetting people that truth gets lost as a result. The truth is: homosexuals are loved by GOD. But homosexuals aren't Christians. Nor are they children of the true and living GOD. I refuse to shut truth down because someone might unfriend me, comment something mean in the comment section of my post, or maybe not give me any "likes". GOD's like is the only "like" that matters. 

If we are going to be called "Christians" as the Disciples of Scripture were, our lives should mirror theirs. Plain and simple.
