And I proved that wrong with post 338. Whereas you on the other hand offer no evidence whatsoever.If any of the disciples thought or suspected that Jesus claimed to be God they would have stoned him themselves. As it turned out Judas, who was hoping for a violent revolutionary, betrayed Jesus because he thought the "love thy enemy" Jesus was a false prophet.
The Apostles were among the very first Christians, as they were Jesus's closest disciples who spread his message after his death, but the term "Christian" wasn't used for them (or anyone else) until later in Antioch, around A.D. 30-40, when Jewish followers of Jesus were first called "Christians" by outsiders. Before that, they called themselves "The Way" or "followers of Jesus," but the Apostles were foundational to the early church.
Key Points:
- The Apostles were the first followers: The Apostles (like Peter, John, etc.) were disciples who followed Jesus during his ministry.
- "Christian" was a later label: The term "Christian" (meaning "follower of Christ") first appeared in Antioch when disciples were labeled as such, likely by non-Jewish people.
- Early believers were Jewish Christians: The earliest believers, including the Apostles and others, were ethnically Jewish followers of Jesus who believed he was the Messiah.
- They called themselves "The Way": The early movement, including the Apostles, often referred to themselves as "The Way," as recorded in the Bible's Book of Acts.

"The Lord God is truth".
