| Post subject: | Da Sheik: "Christ Follower" ? |
| In recent years, it has come into fashion to refer to one's self as a Christ Follower or Follower of Christ. Honestly, the verbiage means really little to me. I still call myself a Christian but I've always been a little behind the times. Yesterday I was listening to one of our Sunday school teachers. She's 80 but has a brilliant mind and very articulate. The Sunday School curriculum used the term follower of Christ consistently throughout. I heard her remark that Judas was a follower of Christ. He followed Jesus for money and for power. He followed him up until he realized Jesus' popularity was waning and that he would not be the treasurer for an earthly king. |

| What was ever wrong with Christian - which means Christ-like?I thought the early church was known by their love one toward another? The idea that someone was a Christian but didn't act like it was foreign to them. Guess Brad wasn't there to straighten them out |

| This does bring up a good point. I had not thought of that, just always thought I was a Christian. I consider myself one. As times goes on, folks must play with terms and terminology. We crave something new, something cool. I have really no problem with the term, just think Christian is more appropriate.It is nice to hear some logic at times in this world. THANKS for this post! 'tis good! Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| Mark, do you see any post-cross (new covenant) scripture where we are now following Christ?One could argue that He follows us:1 Cor 10:4and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock |

| 1 Peter 2:20-22King James Version (KJV)20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. |
