If we talk about some historical facts
The apostle Paul did not preach Jesus as Christ
He spread faith in Jesus as faith in the Word.
In his time, the term Christ does not exist.
The name Christ is not used in the Acts of the Apostle Paul.
Only and only and again only the epithet Word is used.
According to the Bible at that time 51 AD
Jesus is described as the Word.
That it was so
can be seen by reading the Koran.
Anyone who has read that Holy Book at least once could see that neither when it was written, nor even now, neither the term Christ nor the term Christians are mentioned in it.
It is mentioned about
- Followers of the Book e.g.
- There is also a Surah that calls Rumi.
Why do you think that is so?
Was something omitted during the writing?
- No
Simply, the terms Christ and Christians did not even exist then, and that is 5.5 centuries after the Apostles.
And yet we read that
Macedonian Lydia from Philippi,
when she accepted the teachings of the Apostle Paul, became the first Christian in Europe.
Something is It seems to me that there is some inconsistency and that something is wrong.
And all the time I wonder who wrote it down incorrectly?
***
The terms “Christ” (from the Greek “Χριστός,” meaning “the Anointed One”) and “Christian” (from “Χριστιανός”) were established and widely used long before the Quran was written. These terms appear extensively in the New Testament, written in the 1st century AD, particularly in the Acts of the Apostles, where followers of Jesus were first called Christians in Antioch ( Acts 11:12 ).."
Jesus was named as :
- Jesus of Nazareth ,from Jews ,from Arabs from Pontic and from Romans as well .
Arabs called his Apostles Nazarene,
Jews called his Apostles as Nazarene.
Ancient Pontic people called them Nazarene
Romans called them Nazarene as well .
Here is why
INRI was written on a wooden plaque that was placed above his head .
Meaning :
Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum
which in English translates to "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews.
Put by Pontus Pilate .
Written in Latin
Latin was the official language of the Roman Empire .
Written and put out from Pilates the ethnic Pontus.
Let's read how at that time two Jews talk to each other in the Hebrew language...
"He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven..."

Matthew 16 -15:15
If the term Christ does not exist,what do we have here ?
Greek talking Jews ?
