is the word christian even in the bible? but it is true, those assembled together under the apostles and their sucessors, are the church that Christ set up, how could it NOT be? they just think because man failed--Christ failed--loosing faith in the scandals they broke away from the only truth that saves, anything after 1500 yrs later is false false false, but if it makes some people feeeel good, let them have it.

It doesn't, of course -- probably because neither the term "protestant" nor "papist" was coined until well into the second millennium and therefore had no equivalent in the languages in which the Scriptures were written.

It wont be in the bible,(New testament) why should it ?
The head of the Christian church was based in Rome (hence the Roman Catholics bit)!
The 'Christianity bit ' was started off by Emperor Constantine (a very clever feller)!
He managed to gather together a lot of religions and got 'Christianity'.
Now various groups of so called Christians thought some of the rules as applied from Rome were unjust!
Just take King Henry 8th as an example, he wanted a divorce, Rome said no, Henry said "OK I will take over as leader of the church of England"!
Religions (all of them) are very interesting , but the more you read up on them the more unbelievable they all are.
We could venture into Ireland , but let us let sleeping dogs lay? Not all the problems were down to religion , but some were!

Since the Bible was compiled by the Catholic church -- they probably didn't think they needed to say it.
But the part where Jesus tells Peter that he will build his church upon him is where Catholics would say the Bible says that they are Christians.
Since Protestants didn't exist until 1500 years after Jesus -- the Bible says nothing about them.

It doesn't single out a particular group of people except for those who accept and embrace redemptive theology. That would naturally include both Protestants and Catholics.

Ummm...I'm looking in my Bible and I can't seem to find "Jacob Dahlen" listed as a Christian, either.
So I guess that must mean you aren't saved, huh. Since you aren't in the Bible. Hey, maybe you don't even exist, because you aren't in the Bible.

It doesn`t, but neither does the bible say that
the Catholic Religion is the true religion or Church. No matter how they spin it.

It doesn't say it anywhere concerning naming any religion by its name.
