Maynmann:
You are yet to answer my question, when did “Christianity” went to rome?
Your new testament was written in Rome language lol


Emperor Nero was persecuting Chrestians.

There was nothing like “christianity” during nero time.

Talking about google, have you look up yahweh the israelite god on it?

PoliteActivist:


With all due respect I try to avoid stupid arguments. I don't argue settled history.
If you are being semantic that the word "Christianity" had not yet been coined, same thing - you know full well I'm referring to followers of Lord Jesus

Maynmann:

So where in history were “followers of lord jesus”crucified?
The new testament you are basing your life on belongs to Chrestians.

PoliteActivist:


Here's proof that if you write something, no matter how nonsensical, someone would believe it.
In that case, you can go a step further - Lord Jesus was never called Jesus; his name was Yeshua - no one ever called Jesus. Therefore Christians are following someone else!
Arrant stupidity

Maynmann:

If he spoke aramaic, he would have been called isho, no wonder it is “isa” in quran.

If isho was alive he would have been a judaist.
“Christianity” is a greek word, so when did “Christianity” went to rome?
New testament was written in Rome language, the mother of all churches in in Rome.

PoliteActivist:


But he was never called Jesus - so there you have it, that's not who Christians are following!

Maynmann:

You should know that New Testament was written in Greek.
And the Transliteration of Yeshua in Greek is lesous, in latin it is iesus, the early church fathers had to replace i with j to give “jesus”.
Jesus is a latin name of yeshua.
The correct Translation of Yeshua is Joshua.

PoliteActivist:




My brother stop confusing yourself. Proper names have neither translation nor transliteration, except to spell out the meaning of the name in another language. Corruption of the spelling or the pronunciation of a proper name doesn't make that transliteration of the name. Lord Jesus had a name he was given at birth that came with the proper spelling and proper pronunciation, which you can't change to anything else, no matter what language you happen to be speaking!

Maynmann:

My brother, Stop saying what you don’t know.
Proper names are translated into different languages, you are calling it “jesus” because it has been transliterated.
If your savior was a jewish man he would have been named like any jew boy, “yeshua” is a very common hebrew name.

Stop wasting your time on this clueless atheist, trust me it's waste of time. Nairaland atheist are mostly intellectually deficient, u will gain less by engaging with them.
They make bogus claim they can't defend or produce evidence for.
One came here and claimed Isaac Newton was an atheist. When I disproved it and showed he was actually a Christian, he turned around and said he was a secret atheist bit couldn't prove it.
Some will start arguing the bible they know nothing about.
They just like throwing around big big meaningless arguments that lacks substance.

Maynmann:

Let’s start from emeka.
Is emeka not an igbo name?
Jesus is a latin name as iesus, how did iesus turn to jesus?

So transliterate the other names.
Spanish pronounce Jesus as Hesus. So?
Bottom line, we know who we are talking about. So stop being nit picky about Christian and Chrestian!

PoliteActivist:


Atheism is a religion!

Maynmann:

Hope you know the difference between translation and transliteration?

So spanish pronouce janitor as hanitor?show me where you saw it.
Also we are not talking about pronunciation here but translation into another language.

The New Testament you are basing your life on belongs to Chrestians.
From Codex Sinaiticus, we learn that all previous manuscripts that became included in the Modern New Testament are not “Christian”, but Chrestian; we can see how monks much later scratched the Greek H (E) used in Chrest to become the I of Christ.

Religion thrives on ignorance.

Maynmann:

The same way Theism is a religion bwahahaha

PoliteActivist:


My friend point is Lord Jesus was never called any of those names so technically they are not his names. But we know who we are talking about - that's what counts.

So regale us: why were the Romans persecuting "Chrestians". And Paul's letter to the church in Rome, was it written to Chrestians? And Paul himself, was he a "Chrestian"?

PoliteActivist:


But Theists don't say religion thrives on ignorance. You say it, meanwhile you're a religion!

SIRTee15:


I agree with u atheism is now a religion for them. Becos I dont understand how they stick to ignorance when u destroyed their claim with irrefutable evidence.
I understand if Muslims stick to ignorance despite truth staring them in the face. If they accept the truth, Islam dies.
But for atheist, I don't get it.
This maynman disturbing u with chrestian theory, I remember bruising her really bad she almost cried with the nonsense chrestian claim.

Now she has had started with Rome theory.
Ask her the who was the first bishop of Rome and check how her response will rubbish her claim.

PoliteActivist:


I stop taking her serious when I noticed all she does is VERY SELECTIVELY quote Wikipedia!

Maynmann:

My friend, jesus is a latin name, if your savior was a jewish man he would have been called just another hebrew name. Iesus chrestus doesn’t exist outside New Testament.

In your bible, who named paul a Chrestian? Did he name himself that?
Was paul not called a “ring leader of the nazarene?”

Maynmann:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh

PoliteActivist:


Why do you confuse yourself with semantics and very selectively quoting Wikipedia? Christ is Spirit not bound by semantics or a book. Why not pray you have a direct experience with the Spirit (as Paul did) so you'll see for yourself

PoliteActivist:


So why was Rome suddenly persecuting them and feeding them to animals? Or that.didn’t happen either?

PoliteActivist:


Who do you think the Romans were persecuting and feeding to animals?

Maynmann:

Do you think chrestians are peaceful people?
They are murderers, they burnt rome and killed king nero.

sonmvayina:


Who told you this tale?
Romans or Christians??
