If you are reading this in something other than English, Christians who speak your language may well have other terms they use and I have no idea if the translation will match their usage or not.</p> https://xstemsy.com/xstemsy/post/2026/09/christian_terminology/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://xstemsy.com/xstemsy/post/2026/09/christian_terminology/ <p>It's hard to notice things that aren't happening.</p> <p>So if you've been reading through since the beginning, or following me for a while, you may not have noticed that I have a policy of trying to avoid certain Christian terms. Especially if you're reading this through a translation, or you don't know anything about Christian terminology.</p> <p>From about the 1600s to the 1800s, the United States was a sufficiently Christian country that everyone knew at least something about the terminology of Christianity.</p>
