  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

        • Jesus (in the Bible!) = “God is one, the Father, and I pray to Him for guidance and strength, and to forgive my sins. I preach righteousness, selflessness and peace amongst us brothers and sisters.”

        • Jesus for Paulians, Roman Catholics and derivatives = “God is three, one of them is Jesus, and if you believe these two things you’re automatically saved, nvm morals, selflessness and righteousness, that’s optional.”

      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.
