  Christianity wasn’t a thing until 200 years after his death.

    If being a Christian means following Jesus’ teachings, I’m pretty sure that makes Jesus the first Christian.

      Christ can’t be a “follower of Christ.” The first Christian’s were the Apostles.

        If God can be son of himself, then Christ can be follower of Christ

        If your definition is “follower of Christ”, sure, you can argue that Christ can’t follow himself. My definition is “follower of Christ’s teachings”, and he could definitely follow his own teachings.

    The separation is generally considered to be when the first century church said circumcision was unnecessary. That was a clean break with Jewish tradition.

  I mean, the only real difference is that one believes Jesus was the Messiah and the other doesn’t. I am pretty sure Jesus straight up told people he was the Messiah so it would be weird if he didn’t believe in himself.
