Which are you Christian or Child of the King most high ? This is important to know and understand. "My favorite term and phrase " for many just go with the program , and who cares right ? Wrong!

The name Christian is a man made name given to those who followed after Christ. The first recorded use of the term is in the New Testament, in Acts 11 after Barnabas brought Saul (Paul) to Antioch where they taught the disciples for about a year, the text says that "the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch" (Acts 11:26).

The word Christian is used three times in the New Testament: Acts 11:26, Acts 26:28, and 1 Peter 4:16. The original usage in all three New Testament verses reflects a derisive element in the term Christian to refer to followers of Christ . My issue here with this is that many want to be called by this name , but there character and way of life do not reflect the name at all , so are they what they say they're ? The world would say no for they cannot see Christ in these followers, but it's up God to judge here and not me or them.

Is Christian a biblical name? Christian is a name of Latin origin that means "follower of Christ." The name was first used in the New Testament of the Bible to refer to early Christians. Interestingly, it may have been used derisively at first – but Christian quickly became the preferred term for followers of the young religion. There we have it , and now "Child of the King most high"

What does it mean to be a child of the Most High God? It means you are a daughter / son of the King of Kings, a holy princess/prince with strengths and abilities to be used in His kingdom. It means that you are a cherished member of God's royal family, given access to the fullness of His love and provision.

Psalm 82:6 "We are all children of God.", " Galatians 3:26-29 "I am a child of the most High God.", Hosea 1:10 "they will be called 'children of the living God.", Matthew 5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.", John 1:12 "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God .

What does the Bible say about being a child of the King? Because of who Jesus Christ is, and because He is my Savior and my Lord: I am a child of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, seated with Christ in the heavenly realm. I am chosen, accepted, and included – a citizen of heaven and a member of God's household.

Ya! this sounds just about right ,but we can choose which name makes us comfortable . As for me " Child of the King most High".

  Fight the good fight. While slavery has been outlawed for 155 years, Black Americans still encounter racism and inequalities that influence their daily lives. “We are still trying to get free from many things,” said Karlos Hill, professor of African American studies at the University of Oklahoma. “But the principal thing we are trying to get free from is random racist violence in the form of private killings, like with Ahmaud Arbery, and state-sanctioned violence, like in the case with George Floyd.” According to a study from the University of Michigan, Rutgers University and Washington University, about 100 in 100,000 Black males will be killed by police during their lives. In contrast, 39 in 100,000 white males will die at the hands of police. Despite slavery being outlawed for 155 years under the Thirteenth Amendment, Black Americans are still racially profiled and disproportionately killed by police, encounter voter suppression, are blocked from peacefully protesting, and fac...

  The Kings child or Child of the king. What does this mean? If you believe that God is your Father , and not the pope then we have a foundation to start from . For God is creator of all . and all is created by Him and for Him , but that still does not mean that all is for Him . Even thou that all was created by Him by the breath of His mouth even thou God does not have a conventional mouth for this is just a figure of speech . Many do not believe in Him , and the works of His hands. But they want to go to heaven just the same. They want to get there on there own merit. They want to side step God , and still enjoy all the fruits or all the benefits that comes with knowing God. that cannot happen. They do not want to die they want to stay alive , and just walk on in they want everything to be just as it is. Like I said that cannot happen you/we cannot side step God for He is the creator , and not us. We have to honor Him with our life style which is laid out in scripture.We wil...

  Destination of many so called christian's. Those who reject God thereby choose hell, which is separation from God. What God is guilty of, so to speak, is respecting the free will of creatures that he created in his own image by allowing them to exercise their choice to reject him. It is the final destiny of every person who does not receive salvation, where they will be punished for their sins. People will be consigned to hell after the last judgment. Hell is the dwelling place of those who reject God irrevocably, whose alienation from God is a permanent expression of their own ill-used freedom, and whose suffering is at once physical (burning by fire) and spiritual (deprivation of God). In traditional English versions, he does occasionally seem to speak of “Hell” – for example, in his warnings in the Sermon on the Mount: anyone who calls another a fool, or who allows their right eye or hand to sin , reject the teaching of the bible will be cast into “hell” (Matthew 5:22, 29-30)....
