You make me laugh, it's obvious you don't know the meaning of christainity and salvation.

David called Jesus his Lord and Saviour.

Psalms 110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Psalms 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

Job on Jesus.
Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

what are you saying, where is the name JESUS mentioned in all these your naratives

i have asked you again tell me a passage in the bible where the name of JESUS CHRIST was mentioned

1. Did Jesus pray in the name of Jesus? ....lol

2. Or your pastor didnt tell you that Christianity means Christ like. grin grin na wa o. Well I guess you don't know so let me tell you ...it started in Rome by a roman emperor. Christian it is not a religion of tge Jews, it is a religion of slave masters to continue oppressing the oppressed.
1. Jesus Christ could not have prayed in His own Name since Jesus Christ lived His life in submission and obedience of God's Old Law of Moses, the National Constition of the Nation of Israel, as given by those to those who are of the blood of Jacob aka the Jews alone - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20.
15 “Today I have given you a choice between life and death, success and disaster.
16 I command you today to love the Lord your God. I command you to follow him and to obey his commands, laws, and rules. Then you will live, and your nation will grow larger. And the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take for your own.
17 But if you turn away from your God and refuse to listen, if you are led away to worship and serve other gods,
18 you will be destroyed. I am warning you today, if you turn away from God, you will not live long in that land across the Jordan River that you are ready to enter and take for your own.
19 “Today I am giving you a choice of two ways. And I ask heaven and earth to be witnesses of your choice. You can choose life or death. The first choice will bring a blessing. The other choice will bring a curse. So choose life! Then you and your children will live.
20 You must love the Lord your God and obey him. Never leave him, because he is your life. And he will give you a long life in the land that he, the Lord, promised to give to your ancestors—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15
What this means is that any non-jew non-resident of the Land of Canaan, who pretends to worship according to the constitution of the Nation of Israel, not only insults God but condemns God a fool by his claim to be of the Jewish belief. undecided

2. Indeed Jesus Christ did not give a religion but a Law to the people, an agreement by which men are called to live according to God's Law in the Kingdom of God. So, I concede that the religion that goes by the name "Christianity" is removed in all ways from the person of Jesus Christ. undecided

P.S. I am in no way attempting here to hold brief for anyone abeg!

And for your info Jesus does not have any commandment God does ...the commandment which the Israelites obeyed whlas from the supreme being and not of Jesus.
According to the Gospels accounts, Jesus Christ did in fact have commandments which He gave to His followers - about 100 of them in fact. And He made clear that only those who submit and obey His teachings and commandments belong to Him, and are hence of God. So? undecided

1. My problem with you Christians is that you refuse to think when ever the bible is mentioned. Why would God allow humans to sin just so he could kill his only son?

2. Instead of killing his o my son why didnt he just forgive us all, if he couldn't forgive us without shedding the blood of his son eh would he expect humans to forgive without thinking?

3. You people should start asking questions rather than just reading the bible. And didn't tell me you can't question God ....lol
1. According to the scriptural accounts, God didn't do what you claim. So? undecided

2. Again, your argument does not even come close to that in fact documented in scripture of what God in fact did instead, so? undecided

3. I understand the gullibility of the religious, but what is your excuse as one who pretends not to be one of them, for your ignorance of that which is in fact stated in scripture which you pretend to argue here? undecided

It's childish and unchristian like comparing prophets/apostles. Infact no one is greater than the other in the kingdom
Liar!

Did you know that Jesus never taught nor showed that John was Jesus' favourite disciple. It's never in God's nature to be partial.
Hypocrite! For you to deny the glaring obvious, proves that your grouse has nothing to do with Christ but personal sentiments. It's antichrist to kick against the teachings and example of Christ just because it doesn't agree with your sentiments.

The key to the understanding of Jesus’ statement comes in the second part of the sentence. “He that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than John.” It is obvious from this that Jesus is using a specific measure of greatness when He speaks about John the Baptist.

That's why I asked to stop being a hypocrite. It's obvious you had a favourite but still accused someone who followed the teachings and example of Jesus of not being a Christian because his view did not align with your own sentiments. What makes someone a Christian but following Christ's example and teachings? You obviously don't care about Christ or His interest but just using that as an excuse to justify your grouse.

What do you really mean cos I don't understand you. Are you trying to say that there is nothing wrong in favoring one Apostle over another? No offense but take note, being a Christian is not living a moral and righteous life. It's about salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. There are people who actually live the life as prescribed by Christ through law and moral upbringing but that doesn't make them Christians except they believe in Christ Jesus.

Please I need to understand what your point of argument in other to know how to respond. Thanks

Abraham.
The “I Am” in whom Abraham rejoiced was Jesus (John 8:56–58).

The point is did Jesus have a favourite apostle? Yes or no? If He did, then would it be unchristian to do likewise? Everyone had their favourite persons, people they loved the most, including apostle Paul. You even admitted he's your favourite, so quit the hypocrisy! As for the bolded, if you like, use that to false idea to justify living a sinful life. Just know it though that no worker of iniquity, including all those who claim to believe in Jesus, would be allowed into His kingdom. Matthew 13:41

Even the spiritually brain-dead are yet proudly claiming knowledge. No wonder Jesus said, "do not cast your spiritual pearls and treasure before the dogs and swine, because they would trample it under their feet and try to rend you," because they are blind to spiritual quality. If you could be yet blind to the teachings of Jesus which clearly exposed how spiritually daft your idea that there's no one greater in the kingdom of God, how much more those of His servants? So it's well obvious that it's Christ teachings you're against not someone else, because they bring your evil thoughts to light. #antichrist

Oh I now understand you but you actually quoted me out of context. I did not say Paul is my favorite, I only quoted a verse in the scripture where the Corinthians were contesting who their Apostle was.

You see the word FAVORITE is an English word with meaning that has to do with preference (over something or someone) Christ Jesus didn't prefer any of his apostle over another. The fact that some apostles were very close to Him didn't mean He prefers them over others.

In Matthew 13 Jesus was teaching on the planting of good seed (Believers) by a farmer (Christ) and the enemy (the devil) came in and planted bad seeds (false convert). Note these bad seeds (wolves in sheep clothing) were NEVER believers but were planted among TRUE believers to corrupt them. And those are the ones Christ will weed out of his kingdom and not the ones He planted that were GOOD SEEDS.

I have asked you over 5 different questions but you keep beating arround without any tangible answer.

All the verses you've been referring to doesnt have the name JESUS written on it. So what else are you saying.

They only knew a Messiah will come but they never knew it was Jesus or the son of God.

How can you write about someone don't k ow if he exists, they know about Jehovah and not Jesus .

Every verse in the old testament was about God and the Israelites there is no verse that called Jesus in the entire old testament.
