Question

Is that another name for Christian. Please explain as much as you can.

Answer 1

In New Testament times, a person was either a Jew or a Gentile. If you weren't a Jew, you were by definition a Gentile.

The Apostle Paul spent much of his ministry among the Gentiles of the eastern part of the Roman Empire. There was a great debate within the early church over whether Gentiles needed to convert to Judaism in order to become true followers of Christ. In the end, the church decided that Gentiles need not become Jews and were not obligated to follow most of the Jewish Law spelled out in the Hebrew Bible.

Answer 2

In the bible, Gentiles means anyone who is not a Hebrew.

Answer 3

Gentiles are any who are not Jewish... Christians did not come to be, as The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head, untill the first day of Penacost after the ascention of Christ. Christian are those who are of The Body of The Church.

Answer 4

Two thousand years ago, no one described people as white or black. The brown and black people around Israel were the Hebrews, Ethiopians, Cyrenians, Libyans, Moabites. People were identified according to their places of origin. There were Cretans, Libyans, Ethiopians--all according to the tongue they spoke. Those people either went to Jerusalem to trade or to participate in the pilgrimages to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The other people spoke Greek chiefly--they were the Gentiles. They consisted of Greeks--Greek was the everyday language of the Romans and the language of the plebiscite in Rome. They were--by and large--what we call today white.
The early Christians were mainly Jews. When the Pharisees and Sadducees chased them out of the Synagogue, they congregated in houses to worship and pray. They were called "Believers." Christians were the early Hebrew Believers. Nero blamed Christian Jews for Rome's fire in 61 C.E. and from then until the 4th century, Rome was intolerant to Jews and Christians. They threw all Christian believers to the lions, burned their documents, and confiscated their property. In the 4th century, the former pagan Roman state adopted Christianity as a state religion under Constantine's watch and they fumbled to resurrect the teachings. By then all the major teachers had been killed or lay concealed in Africa, Asia Minor, Russia and Ethiopia. Fragments of those underground survivors manifest under the names of Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Coptic and Ethiopian Orthodox Churches. Contrary to many misguided beliefs, Rome was hostile to Christianity for 3 centuries so much so that after they razed Jerusalem under Titus in 70 C.E, the headquarters moved to Antioch Corinth.

Answer 5

The gentiles were anyone who wasnt of the chosen people to safeguard and keep the scriptures from God.

Referred to many times also as Greeks.

Gentiles (non Israelites) were allowed "adoption" into the seed of Abraham (father of all nations) only after it was fullfilled that Jesus came to his own, but his own received him not.

Christians, most early ones were Israelites who accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior. Gentiles were also added to this number in multitudes after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Paul was one of the major spreader of the word to the gentiles.

No matter what your background, as soon as you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior you were concidered a follower of Jesus Christ, thus making you a Christian.
