I have searched throughout matthew,mark,luke and John i haven't and yet to see where Jesus commissioned christianity. Christianity was founded by paul. Have you not asked yourself this question why are pastors always preaching and backing up their doctrines with the epistles and rarely the gospel. The answer is that the EPISTLES is the alternative to the GOSPELS(Matthew,mark,luke,john). All religions are institutions of men(man made). No religion is divine or from God. Paul brought Christianity,Mohammed brought Islam,Jews brought Judaism etc. Come out of religion and follow Jesus. Religion can not save you,it can not take you anywhere. Follow Jesus because He is the only way to God. John 8:31-32,Jesus said if you continue in my words,then you are my disciples. And you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. In order to get eternal life,you have to God through Jesus and not through religion. Going through Acts 11:25-26 I found something. It was the disciples of Paul that were called Christians. Disciples are students. They were students of Paul because they have been taught by Paul for a year. There is a vast different between the disciples of Jesus and disciples of Paul. They both held the teachings of their teachers high above every other things. I am a disciple of Jesus 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Are you that hopeless, beyond redemption? If you can't find THE NEW COVENANT, promised in Jeremiah 31:31, which was established by Jesus, THE MESSIAH, or CHRIST in Greek, then you're most pitiable among humankind. 1 Like 1 Share |

rexben:Christ established the new covenant which completely changed the old way of worship. It was this mode of worship that the early Christians were following and preaching when they were called Christians (Christlike people). This means that being a Christian is not about going to church (even devil can enter church). It is about living like Christ and worshipping God as he commanded, which simply means that one loses his identity as a Christian once he is not Christ-like. Christianity is a belief, pattern or spiritual institution and not a physical institution. The book of John says that time has come when people shall worship God as he truly is thru the help of the Holy Spirit. Christianity is that new order established to worship God in truth and spirit. 8 Likes 1 Share |

cckris:the new covenant is never christianity.Christianity believes you have to be taught by a teacher or pastor or bishop or pope but jeremiah 31:34 no one will have to teach another to know the lord,for it shall be written in their heart. Jesus even said dont be called teachers for one is your teacher which is christ Matthew 23:8 ChristianIty make excuses for Jesus words by quoting the epistles to explain it. The epistles and the gospels are contraditing,either you follow Jesus or follow Paul(false apostle). 4 Likes |

John 4:20-24 was talking about Jesus and the samaritan. The old form of worship of worship for the samaritans is to worship God on that particular mountain but for the jew is to worship God in jerusalem i.e temples and synagogues. But Jesus gave a new order of worship as commanded by the father. He said you will not worship God on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. He clearly states that in worshipping God not location is needed. It annuls the concepts of churches,temples,synagogues,camps. He continued by saying but the hour comes and now is ,when the truth worshipper will worship the father in spirit and in truth. No specific location was specified by Jesus. Going to church is wrong. It is continuation of old worship of God that Jesus came to change. To go to church is to disobey Jesus Looking at the first disciples. They were moving from one house to the other. No specific location. 3 Likes 1 Share |

rexben:Church is a Living Organism, not an organisation. The Church increases ITSELF by the increase of God. Organisations increase by physical & social structures. Membership of the Church in STRICTLY by CHOICE, as a result of hunger & THIRST for righteousness, like the woman of Samaria. Jesus said we should come to Him, the HEAD of the Church, which is His Body. People far worse than you are BEING TRANSFORMED into the image of Jesus, from glory to glory. Some CHOOSE to game the ORGANISM, making MERCHANDISE of Church. Jesus says worry not too much about them, they still can repent of their pernicious ways. But true believers are without any doubt the Light & Salt of this earth. 1 Like |

Firstly,i am a disciple of Jesus and not a christian. Jesus never explained his relation with His church(ecclesia i.e the called ut ones) as head and body,but He said He is the vine and we are the branches. Christianity is an organisation. An organisation has a head so does the church do. An organisation can be sued,so can the church. An organisation has hierachy so the church does. An organisation engages in programms and advertisements that will help increase profit,so the church do crusades,publicity,free medical checkups so that the members will increase whereby increment in tithes and offerings I am not saying this,so that you may be believe Jesus and not pastors. COme out of lies they called christianity. 1 Like |

Ok. We both believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, Christ in Greek. Perhaps we may not both agree that When two or three come together in His name, He is actively present. And when they agree on anything, he grants the request'. Church MUST be a group. An individual cannot be a Church, which Jesus is building up so powerfully that no counsel, or gate of hell can defeat. That's what has been for the past two millenia, & counting. Without any centralised leadership, the Church has OVERCOME Islam, Communism, Atheism, & especially the BRUTAL HUMANISM that has INFILTRATED THE CHURCH for too long. Christ Jesus, known as Jesus of Nazareth, is Lord forever. 1 Like 1 Share |

rexben:I understand that people can be discouraged by leaders who make MERCHANDISE of the flock. Jeremiah 23 & Ezekiel 13 describe it as if they were writing today. That's why God says things before they occur, that we may know there's no other as accurate. I've seen worse, & STILL SEEING painful experiences, but Jesus said OCCUPY. But how can you OCCUPY if you're not prepared to OVERCOME. Running away is not ALWAYS the best option. |

I'm ok as a bachelor, who did it , God did, Jesus did. The word did. I don't know what you talking about, but for me I gotta thank God everyday, and not being shallow minded.

gimakon:Unfortunately, google screenshot you posted doesn't prove anything. In order to verify if Jesus (p) was the founder of Christianity, we have to go to christian source(s) which is Old and New Testaments since you use both. Google was only invented in recent years. Anyone can write anything on google.

gimakon:Part of your beliefs that are wrong includes The bible is the inspired word of God. This is very wrong. Jesus is the only word of Gog. In this supposed bible,God spoke,the devil spoke,men spoke,even demon spoke. Ho w then you call it the word of God you believe that Jesus came to die for the sign of the whole world. It is very wrong. He said He came to give His life as ransome to many not sacrifice for many. He said if you dont forgive those that sin against you,your heavenly father will not forgive,that is the way to get your sins forgiven |

PastorAIO:Abraham the father of faithful believers was under Grace, not under the 1st Covenant with Israelites. Abraham wasn't an Israelite, they're his descendants. In Jeremiah 31:31 God promised to make a BETTER Covenant than Moses' own. And Jesus became the Lamb that TAKES AWAY the sin of the world, not like the annual lambs that COVERED the sin of Israelites. You can see Sir, that Jesus established a BETTER COVENANT, for the whole world, & that doesn't have to be repeated yearly. 1 Like 1 Share |
