ijawkid: @¶oster....what do u have to say about the 1st century christians??

Isn't there steadfastness worth emulating??

Shove d 3rd century professed christians aside and focus on the 1st century guys who practiced real christianity...
Christianity alienated from d world.....

Ptolomeus: In the 1st century there were many Christian groups fighting against each other for exercising the primacy.
It was Constantine in the fourth century, who appointed the official religion and Catholicism in the Council of Nicea, 325, organized the Catholic church.

tobechi20: Lets start by understanding atheism

MacDaddy01:


1st century christians were slave owners. They were even called pagans by others. They were persecuted.

tobechi74: Asking what is the point of christianity is like asking what is the point of religion

ijawkid:

Lol..

As usual u come up with ur slave wahala....na u sabi....

If u culd mention 1 slave d apostles had I'll be happy...

So slavery is just 1 thing u culd pick out that d 1st century christians did wrong??

Mind u they were persecuted for following christ nt because of paganism....

Paganism crept into christianity durin d 3rd century....

tobechi74: Whatever the objective of religion is, it has not realy achieved its aim...becos religious practicers arent living up to expectation

ijawkid:

please can u mention d christian groups??

Mind u there were apostates not christian groups that deviated from the teachings of d apostles ........

Any1 who culdnt adhere to the leadership of d apostles had to find his or her way out...

MacDaddy01:



Are you that ignorant? Christians were called pagans because they were not the major religion at the time. Christianity was seen as a cult of Jewish man worshippers in the first century.

Slavery was rife in the Roman empires that those christians lived in.

PAGAN 9JA:



thats is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

It was the Pagan Romans who were persecuting them so why wold they call christians as Pagan

ijawkid:

Christianity was oÑly seen as false by d pharisees and saducess who were stiff necked and clinging to d mosiac law after christ death.....
...

The jews persecuted early christians because they were ignorant of the fact that Gods son who they had long known wuld come to d earth,came and they took no note of his presence....

Delafruita:
does that include paul?was he sent out of the church?as i remember it,he was summoned by james,the brother of jesus and peter to jerusalem apparently because his doctrine totally differed from what jesus preached

PAGAN 9JA:



thats is the dumbest thin i have ever heard.

It was the Pagan Romans who were persecuting them so why wold they call christians as Pagan

ijawkid:

I want u to really go back and read from ACTS to see why paul was summoned.....

If u want us to go into that then I'm all ready....

Pauls teachings does nt differ with Jesus's teachings..

Infact paul was dispatched by d apostles to d nations to preach and teach...

Bottom line::::

The 1st century christians were nothin related to constantines professed christianity.....

1st century christians didn't engage in xmas celebrations...

[b]1st century christians never engaged in d politics of this world...

[/b]1st century christians were never nationalistic,therefore won't engage in wars...they were neutral....

MacDaddy01:


Keep lying to yourself Their engagement in politics is why we have christianity today.

ijawkid:

Oboy 1st century Çhristians never engÀged in politic§ like there master Jesus.....

Do u just like arguing or d hatred for christianity has overwhelmed u........

The apostles and 1st century christians never engaged in d worlds politics.....

Etc.

I culd go on and on....

Delafruita:
ofcourse they engaged in politics.you should try to find out why peter was called peter the zealot

Cheers01: Seriously?

If there is nothing you can do that an atheist/agnostic can not do, what is the point?

What is the point if majority of all pastors and priests from the beginning of christianity (from the popes in the 2nd century to Pastor Chris/Creflo Dollar) are frauds that have been caught molesting, stealing and distorting?

Seriously?


What is the point when creationists have been caught lying and distorting to make their claims scientific?


What is the point when the bible has been exposed with its contradictions (e.g, incest is bad but Abraham married his step sister, Sarah?)

What is the point of christianity when every investigated miracle turns out to be a hoax or scientifically explainable?

MacDaddy01:


What is the meanining of pagan?

Do you think the pagan romans called themselves pagan? Are you that ignorant about your religion?

PAGAN 9JA:


ofcourse not. it was only after the rise of christianity did the christians start calling all traditionalists in europe as Pagan. the word Pagan didnt even exist in those early stages of christian persecution, so you dont need to make up stories.

Cheers01:


"Pagan" was also reserved for the polytheists. Guess what the Jewish called the early christians who believed in the trinity which was polytheist in nature. Pagans!
