The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op): 7:20am On Apr 09
They are at polar opposites and are not the same thing

The Christian faith is the attitude of Christ in all things. The people were first called Christians in Antioch because they were behaving like Christ, they were Christlike and godly. They had the attitude behaviour and character of Christ

Acts 11:25-27
King James Version
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
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.
27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
Re: The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op): 8:14am On Apr 10
Because there is Christian- in Christianity people just assume that Christianity is the religion of Christ. That is not true.

Jesus Christ did not create Christianity and Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles did not create Christianity. If anyone has evidence that Jesus Christ created Christianity or Apostle Paul created Christianity let them bring it out from inside the Bible!

Christianity is a creation of Rome, the Rome that God allowed to conquer and destroy Jerusalem in 70AD. Christianity is the religion of Rome, that is why the capital pof Christianity is in Rome, and not in Jerusalem.

The point is that you can be a Christian without being an adherent of Christianity both other are not the same thing
Re: The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op): 8:00am On Apr 14
Now imagine that all those big big church houses and congregations are indeed populated by Christians like we had in Antioch and not churchgoers.

Christian-ity does not mean to be Christlike

To be Christlike is not an organised religion
Re: The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op): 7:38am On Apr 15
Anyone that has the evidence of where Paul writes that 'today I have given you the religion of Christianity' or where our Lord Jesus Christ wrote that he has brought a new religion of Christianity, let that person bring the evidence.

But we will not allow you to ask us before we show you that the organized religion of Christianity is from Rome.

Have in mind that Rome is the capital of Christianity not Jerusalem. And as we told you, Rome destroyed the temple in 70AD. So how can the enemy who destroyed the temple in 70AD become the source of truth?

Daniel 8:11-13
King James Version
11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.
12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?


Rome is the one that ended the daily sacrifice in 70AD.

2 Chronicles 7:12 KJV
And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.


The house of sacrifice that the LORD chose for himself, first the Babylonians ended it, then the second one that was built by the kings of Persia, the Romans ended it in 70AD.

Since 70AD, Rome has cast God's truth to the ground and has practised and prospered till date, and of will continue to do so until the time allocated for its deceit is over. Christianity because you added -ity to Christian is not what the apostles practised in Antioch.
Re: The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op):
Daniel 8:23-25
King James Version
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.


The transgressors are the people of Judah. The king of fierce countenance who understands dark sentences is Rome; they gave him an understanding of prophecy and hidden things. He did not rise by his own power, he was enabled. He has destroyed wonderfully till date, practising and prospering in deceit and falsehood all over the earth, this Rome destroyed the mighty and holy people, the people of Judah, in 70AD, destroyed the temple of God killed the people, sacked the land, enslaved the people, many fled into the interiors of Africa beyond the rivers of Ethiopia into the Sudan, they are now mostly congregated into a country called Nigeria which means land of the dead - Judah Benjamin Ephraim and Levi, they are still being the subject of Rome's fitna, receiving endless socio economic and political beatings till date after going through transsaharan and transatlantic slavery, colonialism, imperialism, democracy, globalization, today they sit at the bottom rung of every socio economic and development index in the world racked and ravaged by multidisciplinary multimodal interconnected and multidimensional poverty. The scum and dregs of humanity, yet they have no idea where all this tribulation is coming from, and they will not listen.

God himself provided the solution to their scourge but they will not listen and they will not make amends, they are drunk on their ignorance and proud for nothing.

These are the words that came from the LORD himself:

2 Chronicles 7:13-15
King James Version
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.


They will not listen. They are busy with Pentecostal

.
God says that if HE shuts up heaven and there is no rain or he commands locusts to eat the land or pestilence among his people...

What does this tell us about the so-called 'climate change' that everyone is talking about? If God controls the elements of the weather and climate, what is the implication for the thing called 'climate change'?

They are telling you that God is dead without saying it. If you had the brains you would decipher it.
Re: The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op):
Rome created Christianity.

Christianity was not created by Peter or Paul or Jesus Christ.

There is no where Paul or Peter or Jesus or Batholomew or Mark or Luke or John or Matthew wrote that they have created a new religion called Christianity, it is a sleight of deceit and lies and falsehood to add -ity to Christian and then claim it is a new religion or the religion of the Bible. And Rome is the one that is known for this propagation and perpetuation of lies and deceit and falsehood.

Rome will practise (present continuous) and prosper until it's time is up.

So if you don't believe us and you think that we are not telling you the truth, it is because it has not been given to you.
Re: The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op): 7:45am On Apr 16
A Christian is not an adherent of Christianity, because they are homonymous does not mean that they are the same thing.

A Christian is a person who lives Christlike, in thought word, deed and attitude. A Christian serves the LORD in everything he does, he is conscious of the LORD in all his actions and activities. This is SPIRITUALITY

An adherent of the roman religion of Christianity? His service is in his 'church' like redeem or winner or Christ embassy, nothing concerns himnwoth good behaviour in the society, as long as he is 'worker' in ' and holy before 'pastor' abusebuse. This is RELIGIOSITY.

Or how can you explain so much religiosity with so little spirituality in Nigeria? People have been formatted to think that the church and the state are distinct and different from each other. This is from the devil.

The church and the state and the society is one and the same, accepting Christ as Lord and Saviour must reflect in attitudes in society not within the 'church'.

The Nigerian Pentecostal movement cannot catalyse a chain reaction of righteousness because it is foundationally incompetent to do so. It was conceived in fraud and has grown in deceit, it cannot bring about the revolution of righteousness and spirituality that the Nigerian state needs. The people are in a state of bipolar dysfunction and dystopia having their minds dichotomized between church and state, this is a satanic configuration. The church and the state is one and the same.

Pentecostal is the worse of the genres of Christianity.

Pentecostal pastor is asking why church should be tasked with helping the poor when there is government? What do they do with all the money from tithes and offerings? They don't pay taxes to the state, 'workers' provide free services, so where is all the money?
Re: The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op): 11:50am On Apr 18
You can be a Christian without being an adherent of Christianity. Christianity promotes hypocrisy but being a true Christian who follows the Way of God expresses itself in our thoughts words and deeds and attitudes. You have all the big big churches but none of them can catalyse a chain reaction of righteousness. None of them can cause a reawakening of desire for the LORD to intervene. What are they doing in all those big big churches?

Redeem cannot catalyse national righteousness? Winners cannot do it? Dunamis cannot do it? So what are they teaching their people? What are they teaching the people in those churches? Did God himself not say that of my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and repent from their sins he will hear from heaven forgive, heal their land, and redeem them? Did God not say this?

Nigeria is a nation of fake religiosity, we just carry religion for head like gasla seller inside goslow, spirituality less than zero. No spirituality, no empathy, no godliness just a bunch of hungry angry feral human hyenas fighting and ululating over decaying carrion

Black people.

Lamentations 4:1-9
King James Version
4 The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.
5 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
8 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
9 They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.


When they call you black, read that they mean in context. Black people!
Re: The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op): 7:48pm On Apr 24
The Christian faith and Christianity are not the same. They are not even contiguous.

A person who practices the Christian faith is called a Christian.

A person who is an adherent of Christianity is called a churchgoer, or churchwoshipper

Most Nigerians are churchgoers with plenty religiosity. They lack faith and spirituality, which are the hallmarks of the Christian faith.

Christian-ity does not mean to be Christlike

To be Christlike is not an organised religion.
How did the DISCIPLES conducted themselves in Antioch before they were called "CHRISTIANS"?

Was it only one person the inhabitants of Antioch noticed or an organized group of people unitedly doing what Jesus taught?

Note that the inhabitants of Antioch called them "CHRISTIANS" which means it wasn't just one person they saw but a group of people and again it couldn't have been one person that will act like Jesus because the attributes of God's holy spirit is what Jesus exhibited which no imperfect human could adequately act in line with all those qualities. Galatians 5:22-23


Moreover it's possible to find nice and kind individuals in different religions does that makes the nice person a Christian?

Of course not!

So what makes the disciples Christians back then is how an organized group of people were doing what Jesus did because Jesus was with them in the spirit {Matthew 28:20} so he's guiding them in the work he assigned to them that is why observers could notice they were doing like Jesus who is called Christ but individually each of them has his or her own flaws which if considered nobody can call anyone a Christian!🤔
Re: The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op): 7:18am On Apr 26
The roman religion of Christianity including Pentecostal and Jehovah witness of America cannot be the source of the truth of the Bible.

Christianity is the religion of Rome. You just add -ITU behind christian and boom you have a new religion. Was it created by Jesus Christ, or Paul, or Peter, or Batholomew, or Nathaniel? Who created Christianity, is it not the same people who destroyed jerusalem? So if the people who tried to destroy the truth give you the 'truth' would you believe their truth?

Daniel 8:12
And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.


This is Rome. Rome destroyed the house of sacrifice. Rome cast down the truth to the ground, Rome has practised and prospered till date!

How can the roman religion of Christianity ever be the source of truth?
Re: The Christian Faith Is Different From Christianity by MrPresident1(op): 7:23am On Apr 26
You can be a Christian without being an adherent of the roman religion of Christianity.

The true christian exhibits the fruits of the spirit, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance.

The adherent of the roman religion of Christianity is a zombie, has no fruits to offer, is overly religious, relies on 'my pastor says', is very wicked and lacks empathy or compassion, and is very ignorant.

Christianity is a religion for sure but the truth is there is a purpose why God sent Jesus to come and establish what His first century faithful worshipers were doing back then so if you don't know that purpose you will surely conclude that there is no organized people doing the same thing today just as you can't identify the tree if you don't know its fruit you will continue to misconstrue all trees as fake even though the correct tree is standing right before you producing the right fruit!

Jehovah witness is also a variant of the roman religion of Christianity. Was Paulna Jehovah's witness? Was Peter a Jehovah's witness? Was Thomas a Jehovah's witness? Jehovah's witness religion of America is one of the variants of the religion created by Constantine which name is called Christianity.

Did Jesus ever tell any one that, this day I have created for you an new religion called Jehovah's witness? He said he came to fulfil the Law, the Law that was given to Moses. He did not come to establish anything new, he came to fulfil and accomplish all that is written, he did not come to innovate or create a new religion

MrPresident1:
Jehovah witness is also a variant of the roman religion of Christianity. Was Paul Jehovah's witness? Was Peter a Jehovah's witness? Was Thomas a Jehovah's witness?
If you are sincere i will show you that all these people are Jehovah's Witnesses but you need to focus on what the scriptures say not on what you are hearing in your streets!

MrPresident1:
Did Jesus ever tell any one that, this day I have created for you an new religion called Jehovah's witness?
The scriptures shows that Jesus came to establish a New Covenant which totally differ from the Old Covenant God had with the nation of Israel. Jeremiah 31:31-33

So if you are sincere i will show you from the Bible and mind you that group name "CHRISTIANS" was borrowed by Jesus' first century disciples {Act 11:26} it's not the name God intended to call His worshipers.
It was designed only for those following Jesus who is called "Christ" but God wanted a group name that will encompass all His faithful worshipers right from Abel till today.

Note what Paul called all ancient servants of God in the Bible:
So, then, because we have such a great cloud of WITNESSES surrounding us, let us also throw off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1

God once called His worshipers by that name in the days of Isaiah the prophet {Isaiah 43:10} but He hid it until our time until pure worship has been fully restored that is why the group name is globally known today:

You will leave behind a name that my chosen ones will use as a curse, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will put each of you to death, But his own servants he will call by another name. Isaiah 65:15

The group name "CHRISTIANS" was used by critics to mock Jesus' disciples in the first century just as Isaiah foretold but our brothers welcomed it as they were not ashamed of being persecuted for Christ sake and God left it like that after all the AntiChrist will still come out of their midst {1John 2:18 compare to Matthew 13:25} so it is after the AntiChrist has fully manifested that God separated His own worshipers and gave us that sacred name:
Jehovah's Witnesses.

So don't get it twisted we are Christians but if you want to know what Christianity should achieve come to us and see!

Pentecostal Christianity is one of the armed forces of the roman empire. This one attacks the mind and renders it useless. Jehovah witness is also one of the armed forces, same modus operandi with Pentecostal. The aim is to destroy minds, render human being into android unthinking automatons.

Let there be no confusion about this

Christianity: the religion of Rome. Rome will practise and prosper in its Christianity until it's time is over. There is not one single mention of Christianity in the Bible, by sleight, somever deceitful and satanic people added -City to Christian and boom, they created a new religion. Did Jesus say that he has created a religion called Christianity for us? Did Paul say of, Or Peter, or James or John?

The Christian faith: this is the faith of Jesus Christ and his apostles and all who believe in him

You think that because you are attending all these mushroom Pentecostal churches with their mega jet setting pastors and so therefore because of this you are a Christian? No no no. Oyedepo church alone is enough to generate enough righteousness to activate a critical mass who can now go into the world to start a chain reaction of righteousness all over the nation, not to talk of adding Oyakilome church, and join them with Dunamis pastor own, and Ashimolowo church etc

If Adeboye church alone, Redeem, can start a revolution of righteousness, it is enough. They can generate all the energy that can reorder and reorient the country into righteousness

The Pentecostal genre of Christianity is the worst thing to happen to religion in Nigeria.
