Christians have biblical instruction to be mistrusting of outsiders. St. Paul exhorts the church to "test the spirits" and lay hands on no one swiftly (affirm no one without checking them out).
TJ was referring to a quote from Tacitus that I have cited in several podcasts, to show that first-century Christians were considered anti-social by the Romans.
