cckris:Pls let me you guys. I am a disciple of Jesus,i believe in Jesus. I follow His teachings and accepts it as a little child. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by rexben(m): 11:04am On Mar 25, 2016 |
cckris:I believe Jesus came from God. He was sent to the world to let His kingdom reign. John 8:31-32. I believe only in the words of Jesus(Matthew,Mark,Luke and John only because He only is the Truth. I rather stay with the Truth than follow any other man. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by cckris: 11:53am On Mar 25, 2016 |
rexben: THE TRUTH is that, as the Christ, or, in Hebrew, THE ANOINTED, the Entirety of the Spirit of God was in Jesus, & to them that believe in Him Scripturally, MEASURES of the Spirit of God is also given, such that the believers in Jesus are also anointed, or, in Greek, christed. The term Christian has deep Scriptural, as well as Spiritual significance, so manifest that observers, who hitherto called the disciples followers of THE WAY, finally settled to identify them as Christians. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by Empiree: 12:31pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
rexben:Then your criticism of Christians is pretty much irrelevant. How about Christians who don't believe in Divinity of Jesus?. Are they any less Christians or "Disciples of Jesus" as you called yourself?. You have to understand that they too have evidence that Jesus did not ascribe Divinity to himself just as you also claim Christians practice what Jesus didn't say. Don't you see you are confused? 1 Like |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by rexben(m): 7:10pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
Empiree:Actually i don't get the "divinity" you are referring to. I thought you are talking about Jesus being divine(i.e Jesus came from God) that is why i said i believe in divinity. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by rexben(m): 7:21pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
Empiree:To be a disciple of Jesus you have to follow and obey Jesus words. According to John 8:31-32,His disciples continue only in His words because that is the only condition to be His disciple.I believe Jesus talked about everything you need to know. He said all that the Father has given to me, I have given it unto His disciples. John 17. So to live everyday,you have to look into the gospels(Matthew,mark,Luke and John) with the help of the Holy ghost. Anything Jesus never said,as His disciples we don't believe. Jesus said the voice of the stranger,they wont follow. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by rexben(m): 7:29pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
Empiree:Are you saying DIVINITY-Jesus equal to God. If that is what you mean,then i don't believe in DIVINITY. Jesus never said He was God, He clearly said what i see the Father do,i do. The Father sent Him. He also said He is the son of God and not God |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by rexben(m): 7:46pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
cckris:Jesus said if you continue in MY WORDS,not the laws and the prophets,not the epistle,not the book of revelation,not the poetical books etc ,then you are My Disciple. You can only get the words of Jesus in the gospels [MATTHEW,MARK,LUKE AND JOHN] ONLY AND NOT THE ONE RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. Jesus never said the Holy Spirit will be given in measures,Paul said so. Jesus said I will send the Holy Spirit and He will be with you always,He will never leave you. Jesus never called His disciples Christians, and He said that the voice of a STRANGER,they will not follow. So you don't expect His disciples to follow the voice of strangers tagging them with the name CHRISTIANS. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by cckris: 8:44pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
rexben:1. You alone CONFIRM yourself to BE a follower of Jesus. 2. Did anyone BAPTISE you? 3. Can you baptise another person? |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by Empiree: 9:05pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
rexben:Ask you fellow Christians. That's what they belief. By the way, what's definition of Divinity? If that is what you mean,then i don't believe in DIVINITY. Jesus never said He was God, He clearly said what i see the Father do,i do. The Father sent Him. He also said He is the son of God and not GodWell, trinitarian Christians will disagree with you. |

rexben: God bless you. You just laid bare the main source of confusion among Christians and why they always turn the bible upside down and thus continuously have problem understanding God and what He wants from human beings. They erroneously believe that every word in the Bible is spoken by God and thus attributing every thing there to Jehovah God even when in actual fact some of those words were spoken by human beings like us e.g King David, King Solomon, Job or by Angels etc. Meanwhile God expressly made it clear in Jeremiah 8^7-8 that most of the statements attributed to him were not his words but they emanated from the "lying pen of the scribes that handled them falsely". The implication of this is that Christians have refused to understand and accept the commandments & laws of God because of its high standards and instead prefer to follow other lower standards of men like them who were also grappling with most issues then like we are also doing now. Christ tried to correct this by always making reference to the commandments or wills or laws of His father in heaven in addition to simplifying things but because of this great error of attributing every word in the bible to God, Christians continuously cling to either what Apostle Paul or Job or King Solomon said. The moment we are able to differentiate between God's words from the others we are immediately set free to discover and understand the eternal truth in the bible. This error also contributes to a number of seeming contradictions we have between and among the various books in the bible. God is perfect and thus cannot be contradicting Himself and He is not a God of confusion. This error is also a very big issue for the other religion that believe that their holy book was handed down ready made directly by God. 1 Like |

Empiree:I'm a TRINITARIAN Christian. 1. Genesis 1:1-3 is Trinitarian. 2. Matthew 28:19 is Trinitarian 3. You find these from Genesis to Revelation. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by Empiree: 3:35pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
cckris:rexben, do you agree with him? |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by rexben(m): 6:01pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
Empiree:Jesus never said He was not of the any trinity. He never called Himself God the son. He only said He is the son of God. I don't believe in trinity because Jesus never taught that. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by rexben(m): 6:09pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
Empiree:I am not a CHRISTIAN,i don't believe in religion and i don't preach at all. All i preach is Jesus. I love to witness about Him because i am His follower. I am a disciple of Jesus,i believe in Jesus' words as recorded in Matthew,Mark,Luke and John only. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by rexben(m): 6:13pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
cckris:. Jesus never preached about water baptism at all. The only reason John baptised is to reveal Jesus,we all know He was the forerunner of Jesus. Jesus never taught it neither did He baptise any one. I don't believe in the ritual WATER BAPTISM. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by Empiree: 6:50pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
rexben:You are obviously deceiving yourself. Don't you think?. Look at the highlighted part, some christians believe in that as well?. As far s I'm concerned you have been unable to establish distinction btw "disciple of Jesus" (as called yourself) and being christian. Not preaching is not the evidence of being "disciple". There are christians who don't peach too. What you doing in the thread is actually preaching by the way . You just don't realize it. |

Empiree:pls check out my new post. SOME BELIEFS OF DISCIPLES OF JESUS AS TAUGHT BY JESUS,THE TEACHER. Pls read with a clear mind. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by Empiree: 7:01pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
rexben:Got you. This is what I'm trying to establish. You think I don't know christians and Christianity? . 99.99% believe in Sonship of Jesus. They are Unitarian christians. From among this percentage are those who believe Jesus is God. They area called trinitarians. So if you believe in Mathew, Mark, Luke and John exactly as written, then you aren't different from Unitarian christians. Most christians are trinitarians. You both committing grave sins. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by Empiree: 7:03pm On Mar 26, 2016 |
rexben:okay cool. What's Jesus teaching about Sonship, what does it mean? |

Empiree:Sorry,you are getting it all wrong. I don't have business with Unitarian christians. The fact i believe and they also believe does not make us the same. I am a disciple of Jesus. I am not a Christian. I hate and detest religion,i always preach against it. All i preach is Jesus,the one religion has tried to hide from man kind. Sorry,if i may ask,which sins am i committing? |

Empiree:He said many things. He said He is the son of God, He and His father are one. What He sees His Father do,He do. And what He hears His Father says,He says. He can do nothing of His own accord. Pls what do you want know about sonship,if you want to know better,you have to go to the gospels,Matthew,Mark,Luke and John |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by Empiree: 2:51am On Mar 27, 2016 |
rexben:And you said you aint christian?. Isnt what chistian also believe?. @underlined is what Christians called "Jesus is God". And you said you dont believe in that?. Dont you see you are so confused? What He sees His Father do,He do. And what He hears His Father says,He says. He can do nothing of His own accord. Pls what do you want know about sonship,if you want to know better,you have to go to the gospels,Matthew,Mark,Luke and JohnWhat's your definition of Sonship of Jesus? |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by Empiree: 2:55am On Mar 27, 2016 |
rexben:What is sonship?. That's the sin you commit. |

rexben: @bold doesn't make sense, you say you are not a Christian, that you are a disciple of Jesus and you follow Him. Christian means follower of Jesus Christ Christian: G5546 Χριστιανός Christianos khris-tee-an-os' From G5547; a Christian, that is, follower of Christ: - Christian. Total KJV occurrences: 3 Because some who call themselves Christians are not, and because some Pastors WHO call themselves christians are not, doesn't mean Disciples of Jesus Christ are not called Christians: Act_26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. 1Pe_4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. Act_11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. A Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ. As for me, I'm very happy to be named after Him: "A Christian". Jesus said to Ananais in a vision concerning Paul: Act 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: Barnabas said to the Disciples and Apostles concerning Paul: Act 9:26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. Act 9:27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. Act 9:28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. |

johnw74:Jesus never called His disciples Christians,Jesus never founded Christianity. Christians follow the bible but his disciples don't. They always follow Jesus words only not the bible. Disciples of Jesus don't follow Paul because Paul is a stranger and the voice of a stranger,they don't follow. Please read my new post to see more. SOME OF THE BELIEFS OF THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS. |

Empiree:I now get you. I think you are a muslim. Jesus called Himself the son of God,even God confirmed it twice. At the baptism, He said this is my beloved son,in whom i am well pleased. Also at the transfiguration,He said this is my beloved son,hear ye him. |
Re: Christianity; The Religion Not Founded By Jesus by Empiree: 3:14pm On Mar 27, 2016 |
rexben:I didnt hide the fact thast I am. I thought i told you before. Jesus called Himself the son of God,You have 2 problems here. First, you used capital letter H for Jesus, may I ask you why is that?. Second, "son of God, can you explain in what sense what it means please? even God confirmed it twice.Where did God "confirmed" it twice...references please? At the baptism, He said this is my beloved son,in whom i am well pleased. Also at the transfiguration,He said this is my beloved son,hear ye him.I imagine this is the reference, correct?. Well, provide biblical evidence first before i proceed. Thank you |
