| − | Christians are followers of Christ. The term '''Christian''' means "belonging to Christ," and is derived from the Greek noun Χριστός Khristós which means "anointed one," which is itself a translation of the Hebrew word Moshiach (Hebrew: משיח , also written "Messiah"). '''Christian''' is primarily an adjective, describing an object associated with [[Christianity]], but is also frequently used as noun in the same sense (ie, a person associated with Christianity). According to the [[New Testament]], those who followed [[Jesus]] as his disciples were first called Christians by those who did not share their faith, in the city of Antioch.
