Historical Jesus, Biblical Jesus

[Dānu]

I linked to it numerous times, and you keep denying it.

"And it was at Antioch where the disciples were first called "Chrestian."

It was in a Greek city inhabited by Greco-Romans where the name "Chrestian" was applied to those disciples. Incidentally, the word "Chrestian" wasn't invented for the followers of Jesus, it was actually a common Greek designation applied to certain people who were considered to be "good." For example, you were a "chrestian" if you were a good person. (Chrestianos)

So the Christians/Chrestians themselves didn't invent the word to describe their cult, as the word already existed within the Greek lexicon.  The only word the Christians invented was the actual spelling of "Christian."

But Chrestian? No dude, that's Greek.

Um, you know what Free.  Biblehub says you are full of shit.  Joining the rest of us, it seems.

New International Version
and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

So I guess all these professional translators have to be wrong so the All-Knowing Free can be right, huh?  I hear there is a spill in the ladies room at Tim Horton's.  Go get your mop and clean it up.

The oldest Greek New Testament - Alexandrinus

The Sinaiticus (dated to 330-360AD) always shows XPHCTIAN (chrestian), not XPICTIAN (christian). Alexandrinus (dated to 400-440AD) appears to be the earliest Greek New Testament to contain XPICTIAN (christian) which is roughly 75 years later. Notice the spelling in the following three verses (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16):



(Christian or Chrestian?)
