Testing False Teachers: Is "Christian" Really in the Bible?

Send us Fan MailIn his video series "Testing Christianity," Mr. Ron Charles of  @Truthunedited makes a number of claims about Christianity and the word "Christian." He says Christianity is against the Bible, that the apostle Peter never wrote the word "Christian" in 1 Peter 4:16, and that Christianity is a corrupted, pagan-influenced "religion of tares." Are any of these claims valid? That's what we test in this video. We also look at some common warning signs of cults.Links mentioned in this episodeResearch on the use of Linguistic Manipulation by cults:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/385905992_Linguistic_Manipulation_in_Cultshttps://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/cultish-techniques-of-manipulationhttps://study.com/academy/lesson/the-psychology-of-cults.htmlDefending the Biblical Roots of ChristianityOur websiteOur YouTube ChannelProf. Solberg's BlogSupport our Ministry (Thank you!)Chapters00:00 Words Mean Things02:38 The Claims of Truthunedited10:43 "Christian" in the Bible12:07 1 Peter 4:1612:55 Lost in Translation14:36 Did Peter Know Greek?18:45 Cultural Misappropriation23:23 Greek Influences in Christianity25:28 We Are To Be Set Apart28:08 Appealing to Josephus35:23 Syncretism and Language40:27 Acts 11 "First Called Christians"41:49 Early Christianity v.
