It is a known fact to any Christian that Jesus has never claimed to establish Christianity and did not call himself a Christian. Then how did the word christian came into being? The story goes on like this: when persecutions of the followers of Jesus, not only by the Romans, but also by the Jews, forced many of them to disperse throughout the land, some of the Apostles made their way to Antioch. This made them to have peace and also escape further persecutions by Paul (then Saul) and his followers.It was in Antioch, that these followers of Jesus were nick-named "Christians" due to the simple life they adopt. Until then, the followers of Jesus were known as " Nazareness".
