Rubel Shelly's new book says he liked Jesus before he was a Christian but he also says that Jesus was the original Christian? Was Jesus a Christian? How about Paul and Jesus disciples? Church history tells us that the Romans named these early followers of Jesus "Christians" which was an insulting derogatory name. I quess you could say the name stuck. We also know in the Bible they were first called Christians in Antioch. These early followers of Jesus were called all kinds of names. Was Jesus really starting a new religion or was he simply reforming the Jewish faith? There are many provocative questions we could ask but here is another one that Shelly asks. Would Jesus join your church? Would he? Is God a Christian? Desmond Tuto's new book title asked this one. Good question!
