The Gospels were written in Greek, not Hebrew. The word use is "hagios (hagios), or most holy thing. Calling believers saints is +Pauline innovation, which appears in Act 9:32 for the first time applied to believers.
In new testament times they did not call each other Christians but "holy ones"/"saints".. Non believers called them Christians.. they called each other holy ones/saints..
Nonsense! Christians called themselves Christians in Antioch, one of the most ancient Churches not long after Christ was crucified. Calling believers 'saints' is +Paulian Christianity.
Note: the most prolific Christian writers, +Paul and +Luke, never knew the Lord personally. That should be a red flag right there.
Do you know the lord personally?..
If the new testament is accurate who knocked Saul off his transporation and blinded him?... Who is the Lord?.. The father, the son, or the Holy Spirit?..
Maybe its you that do not know the Lord personally...
I don't know this as a fact.. but could be..
I say this because I don't believe in miracles...
I rely on them..
The paraclete(Holy Spirit) is an ever present personality available for help..
And is no doubt looking over your shoulder as we speak..
