The word “Christianity” does not appear in the Bible.

The word “Christians” occurs only once, in Acts 11:26.

“... and the desciples were called Christians first in Antioch.”

The term was used by others about the desciples, they did not use it themselves.

The word Christian appears only twice:

Acts 26:28 “Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian”

...and

I Peter 4:16 “Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, ...”

It appears the name, “Christian,” was a derogatory one, and not one the apostles or early church fathers embraced.

I wish “Christians” would learn something about their religion. I love Christians but find them appallingly ignorant of the Bible they claim as their authority.
