Umm. Not exactly.. It was certainly a sect of Judaism and will always be a part of Judaism.. But nothing really new. Maybe renewed but not new.. At least that is what we understand.UsagiTsukino wrote:Christianity started has a section of Judaism and than become a new religion. There is nothings in the bible with Christians

And:B. W. wrote:Acts11:26 NKJV, "And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch."UsagiTsukino wrote:Christianity started has a section of Judaism and than become a new religion.

I know the NASB is a pretty literal translation, but I checked: the Greek word Peter used is christianos. While Acts 11 speaks of Christian as a name coined by non-believers (probably) derisively, 1 Peter 4:16 makes clear what Acts 11:26 implies: the earliest believers in Jesus embraced and identified as "Christian".but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. 1 Peter 4:16, NASB
While it was true that, "Christ never called himself a Christian," ignoring the anachronism, why would He? Jesus was/is the Christ, not a follower of the Christ (which is what "Christian" meant - mockingly, when the word was coined - and means).Christ never called himself a Christian, Christ never called his followers Christians. The apostles never called each other Christians. Christ never used an adjective to describe himself. So how are we to identify ourselves then? The disciples called each other, "brethren", "disciples", "apostles", "servants", "believers", "followers", "the faithful", "the elect", "the called", and "saints." We can also identify ourselves as "bondservants" of Christ.
Don't look at me, I never said that...UsagiTsukino wrote:I been wondering why do people think the catholics are going to hell?
Unfortunately these people are ignorant of Catholic beliefs, we are all Christians and we are all Catholics, it is written into the Nicene Creed which we as Christian affirm as our core important beliefsUsagiTsukino wrote:I been wondering why do people think the catholics are going to hell?
To be honest I don't get the pope either, seems like a nice guy and all and loves Christ but the actual position I don't understand the need for it, but I could say the same about any hierarchical structure in any Church.UsagiTsukino wrote:My main thing what of the Pope? I still don't actually get it. I hope i'm not annoying in one.
UsagiTsukino wrote:but itsn't it wrong to have the Pope it's not stated anywhere in the bible. Also what about purgatory ? I think god only knows a true person heart. So, I guess I shouldn't judge. I mean putting things in unbiblical if they aren't there
