Christians are those that follow Christ. Like a country. Corinthians lived at Corinth. We Christians live in Christ. He is our country well that's the whole problem in a nutshell, in trying to personify such "differences" , when as you follow Jesus you would not be even be caught up in making such distinctions in the first place . To understand , one only looks back to the Mosaic tribal god called Jehova...and the basic psychological landscape that alliegance to this God insured a cohesivness for the tribe , but also set them apart . No group of men are different from any other , as is no part of the earth any more "holy" than any other . But to the Mosaic tradition , you either believed this or you were -------->OUT! Period. This is pure folly , though I know what you are saying is meant to be good . One must remember that in the first few centuries of Christianity , there was great discussion as to whether the God of Jesus , and Jehova were even the same God....for many of that time regarded Jehova as just another minor tribal diety that made the mistake of thinking he was "GOD". That's the joke of Jehova ...he is only a little god that thinks he is the ONE true GOD ! ...or one could say that the little god Jehova , was part of the TRUE GOD's eternal plan as men evolved and found deeper meaning , reason , cohesion and beauty in life (spiritual or physical)...personified insuch as your Christ. That God operates here there and everywhere the same is true , so there is no one place or people or group of followers that may exclude . Better to see the unity of diversity , for it is truer than most other observations. ;-)
