Why is Saint Stephen a saint?

Saint Stephen is recognized as a saint because he was the first martyr for Christ. His faith in Jesus was so strong and unshakable, that he was prepared to die rather than renounce his faith in Jesus. When someone would rather die than renounce their faith, they are a martyr. Saint Stephen was an example to the early Christians and was made a saint by the shedding of his blood for the faith.

Did Christ give up his deity?

Most-but not all-Christians say no. Most Christians believe that Jesus retained divinity throughout his life on Earth. Saint Paul says, "Christ did not deem equality with God as something to be grasped; rather, he emptied himself," meaning that Christ was a divine being who "adopted" humanity for himself along with his divinity. However, some Christians (including me) believe that Christ was not God. He was the Messiah, but otherwise a separate person from God (to say that Jesus is the Messiah is not the same as saying that Jesus is divine).

The Greek word for "Saint" in the New Testament is "hagiois" and it refers to ALL believers in Jesus Christ. In the Bible, the word does NOT mean a departed person who was extraordinarily holy in life. All Christians, if they truly express a faith in Jesus Christ, are called "saints" in the Bible (see Ephesians 1:1-2).
