oic the god really have no name, mean christian word was form by jesus christ

God has many names, Jehovah, Yahweh, Adonai, I Am, etc but the final one which God the Father ordained is the name Jesus Christ which He put all authorities under. Which means whenever we pray in that name, Heaven answers.

The word Christ came from ancient Greek word, Christos which means "Anointed". "Christ" is a title, not a name.
Originally the believers of Jesus were called "followers of Jesus". Sometimes the believers were called "The Way".
It was in around year 40, in Antioch (present day Turkey) , the word "Christian" first appeared.

God Having a Name by Catechism of Catholic Church

Catholic means Universal, and this part hopefully helps you understand FULLY bro

203
God revealed himself to his people of Israel by making his name known to them. A name expresses one's essential identity and the meaning of one's life. God has a name; he is not an anonymous force. To disclose one's name is to make oneself known to others; in a way it is to hand oneself over by becoming accessible, capable of being known more intimately and addressed personally.

206
In revealing his mysterious name, YHWH ("I AM HE WHO IS", "I AM WHO AM" or "I AM WHO I AM"), God says who he is and by what name he is to be called. This divine name is mysterious just as God is mystery. It is at once a name revealed and something like the refusal of a name, and hence it better expresses God as what he is - infinitely above everything that we can understand or say: he is the "hidden God", his name is ineffable, and he is the God who makes himself close to men.

207
God, who reveals his name as "I AM", reveals himself as the God who is always there, present to his people in order to save them.

210
After Israel's sin, when the people had turned away from God to worship the golden calf, God hears Moses' prayer of intercession and agrees to walk in the midst of an unfaithful people, thus demonstrating his love. When Moses asks to see his glory, God responds "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you my name 'the LORD' [YHWH]." Then the LORD passes before Moses and proclaims, "YHWH, YHWH, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness"; Moses then confesses that the LORD is a forgiving God.

211
The divine name, "I Am" or "He Is", expresses God's faithfulness: despite the faithlessness of men's sin and the punishment it deserves, he keeps "steadfast love for thousands"... By giving his life to free us from sin, Jesus reveals that he himself bears the divine name: "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will realize that 'I AM'."

212
...In God "there is no variation or shadow due to change."...

213
The revelation of the ineffable name "I AM WHO AM" contains then the truth that God alone IS. The Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, and following it the Church's tradition, understood the divine name in this sense: God is the fullness of Being and of every perfection, without origin and without end. All creatures receive all that they are and have from him; but he alone is his very being, and he is of himself everything that he is.

Yes back in those days, thousands of years ago, the practise of Paganism, was so wide spread, Christianity was considered a new religion and the people of that time called it the way.

But what separates and makes Christianity a main attraction, was that Jesus was healing the blind, lame, lepers, resurrecting the dead, etc while at the same time claiming to be God.

The people of that time acknowledge no other religious figure have ever done such things. It was unheard of.

You see only God has the ability to Heal and I believe our Faith is the only one active in the Healing ministry.

Jesus said and these signs will follow those who believe and He shall do greater things than these.

Ok, the timeline is like this. (a rough time line, not the 100% accurate because the ancient people never documented their years in writing)
Jesus born at year 1BC.
Jesus preach at year 30AD
Jesus died at year 33AD

after 33AD - 40AD, there's no word "Christian". Believers are referred to as "followers of Jesus" or "the way"
It's in 40 AD, the word "Christian" appeared to describe "followers of Jesus".
and this word become universally accepted.

Words are invented all the time even in /k. examples are the word "pipu", "/k", "attensyun"
Words don't appeared out of nowhere, people created it and we Christians are fine with it.
According to the Bible, the word "Chrsitians" are created by the people of Antioch. Some historians calculate it to be around year 40AD.

So there's no confusion here.

i recommend you to watch this video first : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_d6RjjZt04

It is the bible timeline, story in video lectures as well as cards that make you remember easily, I think its reasonably priced
http://ascensionpress.com/t/category/study...-study/timeline - 400USD but can last u a lifetime inspiring.

My foundation in Christ is built firmly on his video lectures, He is truly inspiring. I am a catholic so I only can share about what inspired me Pls do not take it as I promote catholic stuffs. Jeff Cavins was RCC turned Protestant Pastor turned RCC. So he can relate everything very well.
